How Disney's 'Fantasia' Influenced Steven Spielberg's 'E.T.'
When E.T. was released in 1982, director Steven Spielberg openly acknowledged that the film was inspired by the lingering trauma he felt from his parents’ divorce, a subject that he later addressed directly in the semi-autobiographical 2022 coming-of-age drama film The Fabelmans. However, Spielberg was also greatly influenced by Disney’s experimental and visionary 1940 animated musical anthology film Fantasia, from which much of the tone and visual style of E.T. was derived.
