It's not the > best movie for three-year-olds, though. 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.] -- AT THE TONE PLEASE LEAVE YOUR NAME AND NET ADDRESS. THANK YOU. Rich Rosen pyuxd!rlr
