  Movie Info for Fantasia on MSN Movies
Fantasia, Walt Disney's animated masterpiece of the 1940s, grew from a short-subject cartoon picturization of the Paul Dukas musical piece The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
The program comes to a conclusion with a fearsome visualization of Mussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain", dominated by the fl god Tchernobog (referred to in the pencil tests as "Yensid", which is guess-what spelled backwards); this study of the "sacred and profane" segues into a reverent rendition of Schubert's "Ave Maria".
For one of the return engagements, the film was retitled Fantasia Will Amaze-ya, while the 1963 reissue saw the film "squashed" to conform with the Cinemascope aspect ratio.

 Fantasia: 60th Anniversary Special Edition (1940)
Fantasia made its initial appearance on home video in late 1991, and a friend invested in the deluxe laserdisc boxed set even though he didn’t yet own a player.
Fantasia was an ambitious project that tried to integrate classical music and animation in a variety of styles.
To modern sensibilities, the fl centaurette in Fantasia is offensive, but it clearly wasn’t seen as such 60 years ago, and it should have remained as a depiction of the era’s standards.

 Movie Review - Fantasia/2000 - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
As a movie, it had great music, but was otherwise not terribly interesting or amusing to watch.
One enters "Fantasia 2000" with a certain sense of trepidation, therefore, wondering if this will just be more of the same.
I am pleased to report that "Fantasia 2000" is awe-inspiring, entertaining, even touching at times -- all while maintaining that perfect blend between pictures and music that can almost make you weep, it's so beautiful.

 Idol producer calls Fantasia movie untrue - TV Squad
Ken Warwick tells the NY Post that they knew all about Fantasia's background from the very first day she was on the show, and they never asked her to quit.
It's interesting because not only is this scene in the movie, it's the opening scene, and serves as a jumping off point for the rest of the movie and is shown again at the end, to frame the pic.
Fantasia is too much of a success in her own right to need a false spin on her biopic.

 Amazon.com: Fantasia (60th Anniversary Special Edition): DVD: Fantasia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Disney originally saw FANTASIA as a film that could be re-released with a mix of old and new selections every few years, and the most interesting material on the "Legacy" disk is a restored "Clair de Lune" (made for and then cut from the original FANTASIA) and various storyboard ideas for future sequences.
FANTASIA 2000, however, is trivial, occasionally interesting but not greatly memorable and not a piece that one would normally go out of the way to purchase.
Fantasia is a brilliant film...if it's all together as it had been during its initial VHS release.

Fantasia 2000 features some breathtaking animation and storytelling, and in a few spots soars to wonderful high points, but it still more often than not has the feel of walking in its predecessor's footsteps as opposed to creating its own path.
This movie is a worthy successor to the original Fantasia movie.
However, when the original movie flopped, Walt stopped the project in its tracks, and it was not for another 50 years that people began to catch the vision again and started to rethink the "Fantasia" project.

 Fantasia 2000 - DVD Movie Central
Fifty years later, a restored Fantasia would once again find itself in theatres across the country, and during the course of those decades, the world became ready to embrace the film for the grand, bold and imaginative achievement it was.
In the spirit of the first movie, Fantasia 2000 sought not only to combine animation with great classical music, but to push the boundaries of animation further than they had been up to that point, elevating the art to new levels of possibilities.
With Fantasia 2000, the animators again used every resource at their disposal, from intricate combinations of computer and traditional animations to old style “flat” drawings with bright pastel colorings…and of course, the resurrection of the most popular segment from the original, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”.

The stereo sound enhanced the effect of the movie and won special certificates at the 1941 Academy Awards®; for Walt Disney, technicians William Garity and John N. Hawkins and RCA, and for Leopold Stokowski and his associates (for unique achievement in the creation of a new form of visualized music).
