There's one scene I love in Disney's Fantasia. The last scene depicts a devil-like creature (horns, black, red pits for eyes, black wings), rising from his spot on Bald Mountain and drawing out the dead spirits from the nearby graveyard. They're dancing and flames of fire are climbing around them. It's demonic.
Then church bells are heard in the distance. The devil winces and waits; his activities are on a pause. The bells sound again. And again. Each time, he winces and shrinks back. Then Ave Maria starts, quietly then gradually gets louder. The spirits go back to their graves. And Satan goes back into his mountain form. No more Night On Bald Mountain. Only the Light remains.
