Mister Stokowski, Mister Stokowski...
:34:50
My congratulations, sir.
:34:53
- Congratulations to you, Mickey.
- Gee, thanks.
:34:57
Well, so long!
:34:59
I'll be seeing you.
:35:01
Good-bye.

When Igor Stravinsky wrote his ballet
"The Rite of Spring"...
:35:12
...his purpose was in his own words
to express primitive life.
:35:15
And so Walt Disney and his fellow artists
have taken the man's word.
:35:19
Instead of presenting the ballet
in its original form...
:35:22
...as a simple series of tribal dances,
they've visualised it as a Pageant.
:35:26
As the story of the growth of life on earth.
:35:29
It's a coldly accurate reproduction,
of what science thinks...
:35:32
...went on during the first few billion
years of this planet's existence.
:35:36
So now, imagine yourselves
out in space, billions and billions of years ago...
:35:42
...looking down on this lonely,
tormented little planet...
:35:46
...spinning through an empty
sea of nothingness.
