Fantasia

This was a re-order. I was trying to replace a back order that did not work out. This was for my niece who wanted it for nostalgic reasons (we love Fantasia and all our children watched it a lot as small children). We were surprised that it was in Korean (yes it says "South Korean Pressing"). I thought it was produced in Korea but would be in English (or subtitled). The music and video is still wonderful.

Not as good as I remember

First off I didn't realize that this DVD was a Korean pressing. Tho what little narration there is is available in English sub-titles. What was surprising to me was how bad most of the drawing is- not up to Disney's usual standard. But I still love the Sorceror's Apprentice and the Dance of the Hours. I can never hear either piece of music with out seeing those images in my minds eye. Another image that stays with me is the fight between T. Rex and stegosaurus in the Rite of Spring.

DISAPPOINTED

I was disappointed in the fact that the entire DVD was in Japenese and I had to use sub-titles to understand the commentary. This detracted from the pretty scenes on the dvd.

reviews: page 1, 2, 3

NTSC/Region 0. Out of print in the U.S.!

Please note this is only available in South Korea on DVD. The disc automatically starts with a Korean dubbed language track. You can change it to the original English Language from the menu. It should be the second option from the menu. From there you can select the English language version.

Fantasia created the mold for blending music and movie magic into an exhilarating moviegoing experience. Unforgettable images are brought to life by some of the world's best music -- the comedy of Mickey Mouse as a troublemaking sorcerer's apprentice, the beauty of winged fairies and cascading snowflakes, even plump hippos performing ballet in tutus! Never before has this masterpiece looked and sounded better than this. Enjoy the history, the sounds, the sheer excitement that is Fantasia!
