Disney Trivia
"My step-grandfather was a colleague and friend of Stowkowski, working with him on the production of Disney's fantasia. (Yes, he knew Disney too.) He said that Leopold was quite an interesting man. They corresponded frequently until my grandfather's death. They wanted to put this in Fantasia, but Disney thought that it would be too risque. "
