One interpretation (I haven't read it either, but here's one possible angle)=
could be that the dino sequence in Fantasia is how many people view=
dinosaurs. The idea that all dinosaurs lived at the same time=
(_Tyrannosaurus rex_ vs. _Stegosaurus_), the idea that sauropods were=
semi-aquatic, and the view of Rex as a rampaging monster are all brought=
out within an animated sequence that only lasts a couple of minutes. The=
point of the paper may be that how we view dinos today is extremely=
different than what it was when Fantasia was made.
