On the contrary, young kids love the movie, at least in my experience.

It's a good thing you said 'Selections from "The Rites [sic] of Spring"'.
Stravinsky didn't quite like the "selecting" that Stokowski and/or Disney
did, and sued them for butchering his composition.  Does anyone know what
transpired in that case?

[I grimace when I hear "transcription" and "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" in
the same sentence.]
