All other screenplays have the action of the movie separated and timed out with blocks of dialogue exchanged between the characters. But what does a script look like if the film is silent with the action having to be timed PERFECTLY to fit syncronization with the pre-made soundtrack in order to be affective?

As far as I know, there wasn't a script for Fantasia, at least not one that resembled a movie script that we'd recognize. Each sequence of Fantasia was separately designed and planned in collaboration between the artists, animators, and idea-men at the Disney studio and with Leopold Stokowski, the musical orchestrator of the pieces being used, and overseen by Walt Disney himself, who always had the final word.
Once the musical pieces for the film were chosen, the Disney artists created paintings and drawings inspired by listening to the pieces--from there, sequence ideas were contributed by writers and other artists, and then temporarily story-boarded, then adapted, added or discarded as the sequences took their final shape. Already very much aware of the amount of drawings that needed to be used for any given length of animation, using a 24 frames per second standard, the key animators began assembling the rough tests of the animation for each sequence, keying the animation to the music, and eventually, editing the music to fit the requirements of the sequence. Igor Stravinsky, whose "Rite of Spring" was used for the Primal Earth sequence, was at first enthusiastic about the sequence, but became very unhappy that the studio was essentially rewriting some of the piece to match more closely with the sequence. After many, many months of collaborative effort, the sequences were fully animated, the music's six-channel sound tapes were recorded, synchronized and edited onto the soundtrack, and the film was finished, only a few hours before its initial premiere.
The written score of the film, along with the literally thousands of timing sheets, hundreds of thousands of sketches, paintings, working drawings, test reels and painted cels, not to mention the taped and/or transcribed records of countless story and idea conferences, comprise the Fantasia "screenplay".

Disney video clips have continually long previous around in circles, being re-released one after the different repeatedly. you will see lower back in a pair of years yet another Disney action picture come out for a fortieth anniversary version, and could only be accessible for a jiffy.
