    Eighty-five years ago today, Fantasia was released. One of the biggest landmarks in animated filmmaking, this film that pairs Disney's animation with classical music is a revolution thanks to its brilliant music and top-tier animation that helped set the stage for music videos.

    Not enough - Sound can easily be removed from videos. You need to make sure there's licensed Disney IP littered around the room, and ideally involved in the sex act(s). Maybe dress like a Star Wars or Marvel character. Better yet, one dresses like a SW character, and the other(s) dress like a Disney Princess™. Also, have Fantasia or Sleeping Beauty, one of the classics, playing on the TV in the background. Make "Disney" the kink theme of the video. Make it a category keyword on the upload.…

    4) The ultimate tribute to movement and sound in animation, Fantasia is as transfixing today as it was in 1940. In a way, it feels a little like the Disney equivalent of 2001: A Space Odyssey, a film that you must allow yourself to be swept away by.
