highly recommended

Decent, if slight

The Bottom Line:

Going into Fantasia 2000 I knew I was going to get animated sequences (some mediocre, some standout) set to classical music, but I didn't know I was also going to have to deal with interludes in which celebrities painfully introduce the next piece--maybe Disney needed to pad the tiny running length, but it detracts enough from the film to make me dubious about recommending it.

2.5/4

Fantasia and Fantasia Again

Any Disney fan who has Fantasia will this updated version as a companion to the original. Fantasia was intended to be a work constantly in evolution, showcasing both music and animated technology in concert. Fantasia 2000 showcases the evolutionary process of both mediums and still maintains the unique Disney charm that has made the animated creations of this studio classics for all generations.

A great walt disney movie.

This is a great walt disney movie.From steamboat willie to now.I wish walt was here to see what his creations are now.

Fantastic Fantasia

The Disney animators have done an outstanding job connecting images to great works of music, bringing them to life for today's audiences. As a music teacher this is an excellent resource for stimulating interest in works by the great composers. Teachers and students at my school are mesmerized over and over again for 16 minutes as they take in Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue with its multiple storylines illustrated in the style of Al Hirschfeld. All of the selections are presented in unique and interesting fashion. There is something for everyone. It's an entertaining, inspiring and educational movie.

Better Than The Original

Fantasia 2000 is even better than the original Fantasia. It really is laugh-out-loud funny in some areas, particularly the flamingo and his yo-yo segment. And other segments are absolutely visually dazzling. It's virtually impossible to find in retail stores now (because it's in Disney's Vault Collection). I bought a "like new" one on Amazon and it really is like new, and a great buy! Since even the used copies are in short supply, you might want to grab one for your DVD collection while you still can.

Disney animators and filmmakers have again burst the boundaries of imagination with FANTASIA 2000. Fulfilling Walt Disney's original vision of uniquely fusing sight and sound in a full-length motion picture, this film begins where its predecessor, FANTASIA, left off, with seven completely new segments and the return of the popular "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." In this fun-filled movie, breathtaking images are coupled with classical music favorites. From Beethoven to Gershwin -- from flamingos bobbing yo-yos to a city in bluesy motion -- vivid animation brings the music of the masters to colorful life. Sixty years after the original masterpiece, Roy E. Disney has orchestrated a brilliant collaboration of more than 1,200 artists and technicians, including the animators of THE LION KING, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, and ALADDIN -- to present FANTASIA 2000, a film filled with "dazzling moments" (The New York Times) and "arguably the greatest Disney film ever" (KNX/CBS Radio), that is sure to captivate viewers of all ages!
