About this product

Product Information

Walt Disney took a big chance with this ambitious anthology of animated fantasies. First, he set them to lengthy classical music pieces, and then he boldly experimented with different forms of animation, sometimes jettisoning any sort of narrative altogether. The result is a sometimes mesmerizing, sometimes hilarious, sometimes frightening, but always beautiful moviegoing experience. A box-office failure when first released, it's now considered a timeless treasure. Highlights include: Mickey Mouse in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," the leaping hippos and alligators in "Dance of the Hours," the rise and fall of the dinosaurs set to Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring," the dancing mushrooms of Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite," and Mussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain," with its fearsome winged demon raging at the heavens. One of Walt Disney's ambitions for the project was to rerelease the film periodically over the years with new sequences. Though the film was regularly rereleased, it wasn't until 1999 that his intention was finally realized with the premiere of FANTASIA 2000, a lavish follow-up that included a digitally restored "Sorcerer's Apprentice" and a host of new material. The original FANTASIA, however, remains a one-of-a-kind auditory and visual experience that is still, in many ways, far ahead of its time.

    Something for most everyone

    Perhaps a little ahead of its time but this ambitious animated feature probably has at least some music that will appeal.

  • Most critical review

    A delightful walk into the past with Disney cartoons.

    I bought this DVD for my grandson who is 4-years-old and loves Mickey Mouse. I watched it with him, but when the scenes with Mickey were over it lost his interest. I think there have been so many copies made of this movie that the vividness of the colors and scenes has been lost. I liked the movie and it was good to see it again after all these years for nostalgia-sake. I would not recommend this movie for young children as there are parts that could be frightening for them. Disney also appealed to adults in his movies. This is one of those movies! The music was fantastic!

  • Seems It Took Me Forever To Appreciate this Movie!

    I just couldn't see the point of the movie when I was a kid... Whenever it was shown I would pass on it, except maybe to watch the Mickey Mouse sequence, Mickey Mouse in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" that is. Most anthologies just don't get rave reviews, as a person may like one or two of the stories or sequences, but not all of them, so the book or movie is downgraded in reviews. Additionally this film was se to lengthy classical music pieces, which doesn't go over so well the first time when watching/listening. But now with DVDs, you can go back easily and rewatch the sequence to get a second chance to figure out what was going on! Walt Disney took a chance on this film, it didn't pan out when first released, but now with this DVD you can get what he was trying to present a whole lot ...

  • Parents -- some things to consider before you buy ...

    Fantasia was one of the "must-see" movies of my childhood. At the time it was created, Fantasia represented the state-of-the-art in animation. It was like nothing anyone had ever seen -- spectacular colors and details and various forms of animation against the backdrop of classical symphonic masterpieces. I remember being awed, amazed and terrified when Mickey Mouse brought those brooms to life and they marched out of control. I loved the playfulness of the Greek theme, and of course, what child wasn't spellbound by the fairies from the Nutcracker Suite? The thing is, though, my children were flat-out bored with it ... and I have to confess that while it is a classic in my mind, it was not as riveting recently as I remember it being. I have become spoiled by the ...

  • Pure History. A must-have.

    A little-known fact, Fantasia was actually the very first movie ever to be released containing multi-channel audio, meaning "using two or more speakers". Because most theaters did not contain the necessary components to deliver "Stereo Sound", Disney actually had a mobile rig called "Fanta-Sound" that toured different cities to deliver the true experience. This should be a big clue as to what was the most important factor in experiencing the movie is/was: THE SOUND. The movie was extremely poorly received for it's debut. People did not understand what they were going to witness, so with little understanding came little hype. If no one had ever even heard of "Stereo" or "Quadrophonic", it was difficult to describe what was so ...
