Groundbreaking on several counts, not the least of which was aninnovative use of animation and stereophonic sound, this ambitiousDisney feature has lost nothing to time since its release in 1940.Classical music was interpreted by Disney animators, resulting insurreal fantasy and playful escapism. Leopold Stokowski and thePhiladelphia Orchestra provided the music for eight segments by thecomposers Tchaikovsky, Moussorgsky, Stravinsky, Beethoven, Ponchielli,Bach, Dukas, and Schubert. Not all the sequences were created equally,but a few are simply glorious, such as "Night on Bald Mountain," "TheSorcerer's Apprentice," and "The Nutcracker Suite." The animationranges from subtly delicate to fiercely bold. The screen bursts withcolor and action as creatures transmute and convention is thrust aside.The painstaking detail and saturated hues are unique to this film,unmatched even by more advanced technology. --Rochelle O'Gorman

- Fantasia is Fabulous
This is the original 1940s version. No computer art work, all hand drawn. Have the kids watch the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" one time and they will be hooked!
Fantasia is Fabulously Fantastic!

- Different Generations
I was really excited to buy this movie and see it again and show it to the children. I thought that they would enjoy it... boy was I wrong!
I guess that's the difference between my generation and kids nowadays... they have to have protagonist and an antagonist and some kind of plot!! They were really upset that all there was to it was music and short clips.
Personally I loved it... but I guess this is the age of spongebob squarepants nonsense (don't get me wrong I love the little guy) ... Read More
Rating: - AMAZING.....!
We had Fantasia on video for our children during the early nineties. Somehow we lost it but now our son (21 years old by now) gave us Fantasia on DVD. It is still as beautiful and amazing as it was to us in 1992 (or when produced by Disney in 1942...?) Hard to get but every dollar worth it!
