Bald Mountain (film)
Bald Mountain may refer to multiple films, with the most prominent being:
-
Bald Mountain (Night on Bald Mountain segment): The animated segment from the 1940 Disney film Fantasia. This segment, also known as Night on Bald Mountain, is based on Modest Mussorgsky's symphonic poem of the same name. It depicts a dark and foreboding Walpurgis Night ritual presided over by the demonic figure Chernabog, who summons ghosts and demons to Bald Mountain. The segment is notable for its stark visual style, powerful music, and intense imagery.
-
Night on Bald Mountain (film): A 1933 animated short film directed by Alexander Alexeieff and Claire Parker. This film is one of the earliest examples of animation using pinscreen technology, a technique developed by the directors. The short depicts a dark, abstract vision of Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain.
It is important to specify which "Bald Mountain" film is being referenced to avoid confusion. The Disney version is far more widely recognized and discussed within popular culture.
