Product Backstory
In Disney's 1940 masterpiece of animation FANTASIA, the final sequence NIGHT ON BALD MOUNTAIN uses the sweeping music of Modest Mussorgsky to help bring to life Disney's most frightening animated character, the demon CHERNABOG. His name is taken from Chernobog, a deity of Slavic mythology, and it literally means "black god."

Chernabog emerges atop Bald Mountain as night falls. The demon appearing at least 100 feet tall, and as he unwraps his massive bat-like wings, a terrifying, dark visage of glowing yellow eyes, huge clawed hands, and horn tipped skull is revealed. Chernabog grows in strength as he summons ghosts, witches, and monstrous souls from the graveyards of a nearby town, commanding them to dance and fly around him while he calls forth fire from the mountain. He casts the evil souls into the volcanic flames and transforms them into demons to do his bidding. Just as Chernabog finishes gathering the demon army to wreak untold havoc upon the world, he hears the tolling of the Angelus Bell from the town church, and the first light of the morning breaks, forcing the demon and his minions back to the underworld from which they came to wait for another night's darkness.
