Fun Facts

• The "Rhapsody in Blue" segment was initially conceived as a segment for the original 'Fantasia' but was ultimately shelved.
• The segment featuring Donald Duck as Noah's assistant was actually completed much earlier than the rest of the film, originating from unused ideas for a Donald Duck short.
