Fantasia 2000 (a Disney original concept which I would dearly love them to do more of) ended with Stravinsky's the Firebird, done as a flat-out pagan story of the resilience of Spring, what with the Spirit of spring being woken by the Horned Lord, accidentally waking the Firebird egg and being undone by the volcano, then rediscovering hope and triumphing after all. Completely, utterly Pagan, beginning to end.
