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.Product Identifiers

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.

Great Film .Too many other distractions
Replacing a VHS copy of Fantasia , so familiar with the Characters . Very popular with grandchildren. A pity there are SO Many Previews of other Disney Products before the film Also the visual scene selection is more complicated than it needs to be . A simple track listing would be more useful , less time consuming.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Very happy
Fantasia is one of my favourite films. I lost my copy years ago and managed to replace both versions for only £3.50. Watched them last weekend - no scratches or anything. You have made a middle-aged man very happy; thank you!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
