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.

    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!

    Not as good as I remember it. I'm 47 (born in 1977). I watched the golden age of computers dawning. Everything in this series of Disney cartoon compositions is now old-fashioned and visually pedantic. The music is actually better. I think the DVD improves after the first half an hour or 45 minutes. The first part of Fantasia is not all that good. It's almost as if the cartoon artists were experimenting with cartooning and not really trying hard enough in some places during the beginning... IMHO.

  • Disney Fantasia Movie is Fantastic!

    Fantasia is the best Disney special effects movie ever made - in My eyes

  • Just Superb

    Fabulous imagination and execution. For classical music lovers, it's just the greatest. For anyone wanting an introduction to classical music, watch this and listen. The timing of cartoons to the music is impeccable. And it's a great introduction of classical music to children, an experience they'll remember their whole lives.

  • Entertaining Movie

    Fantasia is an excellent movie, but I do not recommend it for very young children or children who frighten easily. The music is dramatic and powerful, and at times descriptive. The movie is based on stories music can describe, and is not like other cartoons where the music is secondary to the storyline. I personally am bothered by the last story of the movie called the Night on Bald Mountain which features a devil, literally. My favorite part is the part where the music for the Rite of Spring plays featuring different times of creation (I don't believe in evolution) from the time of earth's molten lava all the way to the destruction of the dinosaurs.

  • Awesome video

    Love the older version of Fantasia, takes me back to my childhood. Good for kids (but Night on Bald Mountain may be a little creepy for the really little ones).

  • It's an acquired taste.

    Didn't like the movie when I was very young and didn't like it this time at 87 years old. It does have some really good parts though.

  • Disney's Fantasia DVD

    Walt at his best. No one else could accomplish Fantasia like he did. I believe that Disney was doing drugs. I approve. Drugs or not Walt made a masterpiece.
