According to the opening credits,
Grand Canyon
is "a pictorial interpretation of
Ferde Grofe's
Grand Canyon Suite
", much as the animated segments in
Fantasia
are pictorial representations of music, and the film is strongly related to its soundtrack.
Grand Canyon
is one of Walt Disney's more unconventional and experimental works, as it has musical accompaniment, but no dialogue or narration.
