Clair de Lune is an unused Fantasia segment. It is set to Claude Debussy's classical musical piece "Clair De Lune". It was produced in 1941, but did not see a release until 1996. However, it appeared on the original broadcast of Music for Everybody. In 1970, broadcasts replaced it with a montage of clips from Sleeping Beauty.
Footage from this segment was re-scored and re-edited as the "Blue Bayou" sequence in Make Mine Music.
An original workprint was eventually found and the segment was reconstructed to how Walt Disney originally intended it to be seen. It eventually saw general release as a bonus feature on the Fantasia DVD released in 2000, and in 2015, the music saw release on the Fantasia album from the Walt Disney Records Legacy Collection.
