TIL: Disney made a special poster for the 1969 re-release of FANTASIA aimed squarely at stoners + hippies and THAT theatrical run is how the movie first turned a profit.

Second, a hand adjusts a calendar on the wall, the subtitle reads, "we celebrated the country's birthday on October 2 instead of October 7, 1990," indicating an early celebration.
