	FANTASIA 2000
		In fact, Fantasia tanked at the box office when it was originally released, which probably had something to do with Walt’s unrealized dream.
		Fantasia seemed like Walt’s attempt to make “Sgt. Pepper,” even though the Beatles version was still a quarter-century away from being realized.
		Each section of Fantasia 2000 is introduced by a series of special guest celebrities, ranging from the funny (Steve Martin), to the serious (Angela Lansbury), to the completely unexpected (Penn and Teller).

	Review: Fantasia 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Fantasia aficionados may not view Fantasia 2000 in the same way as the original (creatively, it is clearly a step down), but they will surely appreciate what the filmmakers have accomplished.
		Fantasia 2000 was originally released in IMAX theaters, where watching it is a somewhat different experience than seeing it in 35mm in a regular multiplex auditorium.
		Although the overall quality of Fantasia 2000 is considerably more variable than that of Fantasia, certain aspects of the experience are the same - namely, the ability to sit in a theater and listen to great music while being presented with a choreographed visual accompaniment.

	Fantasia 2000
		Fantasia 2000 is a tribute not only to the music it presents but to the brilliance of Disney’s staff of artists and animators.
		Fantasia 2000 was originally paced for release in 1997 as Fantasia Continued, but in the beginning of June Disney threw out the Beethoven's Fifth segment they'd had in production for six months and went hunting for new ideas to go with Beethoven's Fifth.
		Fantasia 2000 got the celebration of the new millennium off to a spectacular start in December with a dazzling world premiere at Carnegie Hall and a two-week world tour featuring live symphony concerts/screenings in London, Paris, Tokyo, and Los Angeles.

	Disney: Fantasia 2000
		"Fantasia 2000" is a collection of 8 pieces of music tied together by short introductions by a variety of celebrities.
		For some inexplicable reason, "Fantasia 2000" only includes a single movement from the Fifth, ignoring the remaining thirty-four minutes of music and leaving the audience with the single movement that is known.
		The rest of the music in "Fantasia 2000" is less well known and works reasonably well with the animation provided.

	Fantasia / 2000
		It was Walt Disney’s intent to have Fantasia a continuing work in progress; it was conceived as a repertoire program with changing musical selections.
		Fantasia / 2000 is a beautiful, delightful work of art.
		James Levine conducted the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for Fantasia / 2000 with the exception of the segment "The Sorcerer’s Apprentice" from the original 1940 film.

	Fantasia 2000 (2000) - PopMatters Film Review
		Fantasia 2000 also introduces its animated sequences with comical appearances by celebrities, many of whom will be familiar to kids (including Steve Martin, Bette Midler, and James Earl Jones).
		Because so much of what is impressive about Fantasia 2000, or different from other Disney features, is dependent on the IMAX technology that makes one feel enveloped in the experience, it will be a less majestic experience on a regular screen.
		Fantasia 2000's story lines are pretty standard Disney fare (relentlessly upbeat and tending toward "heartwarming") and the animation is very good, but "The IMAX Experience" is definitely the star.

	Fantasia 2000 - Classical Tunes and Disney Cartoons
		Now, along comes Fantasia 2000, one of the most ambitious attempts yet in the struggle to turn the masses on to classical music.
		For its initial release, Fantasia 2000 is being showcased in IMAX theatres.
		Despite the inconsistencies of the rest, this segment alone redeems Fantasia 2000 and, coming as it does at the end, concludes the entire venture on an overwhelmingly upbeat note.

	Fantasia 2000
		Similar to its predecessor, "Fantasia" of 1940, this version is more of a collection of musical shorts than a feature film.
		Still, it feels out of place in a collection called "Fantasia." The rich man's two second spontaneous dance with a street monkey, is this segment's shining moment.
		"Fantasia" was the first film ever recorded and released in stereophonic sound, "Fantasia/2000" is the first (near) feature-length (though not really a feature) originally released only at the giant screen Imax theaters at the turn of the millennium

		Wedding classical music to pictures of dancing mushrooms and soaring forest sprites, the idea was to use animation (a "low" art) to introduce classical music (a "high" art) to "the masses," who presumably weren’t eating their vegetables like good little boys and girls.
		Set to Stravinsky’s "Firebird Suite," Gaëtan and Paul Brizzi’s tale features a romance between a majestic elk and the sprit of springtime, who is menaced by a fierce fl eagle who rises out of a volcano to scorch all the vegetation she has just brung to life.
		In the end, it’s even possible Fantasia 2000 does a disservice to the compositions it spotlights; after all, I can recall what each sequence looks like, but I’ll be damned if I can remember the songs.

	Fantasia & Fantasia 2000: The Fantasia Anthology DVD Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Really, the 2000 release is an admirable project, and I can’t help but appreciate all the work that went into helping fulfill Walt’s lost dream and revive the titanic marriage of orchestra and animation for a new generation.
		The Fantasia Anthology is a box set that commemorates and celebrates the history of this legendary project.
		Since Fantasia 2000 is of course more recent than its predecessor, it takes advantage of the DVD format more readily and the results are splendid.

		In and of itself "Fantasia" was (and remains) a masterpiece: The perfect coupling of animation and classical music.
		He, in fact, demanded more: He said the film "Fantasia" could only be shown in theaters that were properly outfitted to accommodate the film.
		Originally, the story goes, Disney intended to make "Fantasia" an organic work--a film that was constantly changing: Here a new segment, there a new musical score; here the removal of a known character, there the addition of a previous unknown.

		Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 are also available together in the three-disc DVD Fantasia Collection.
		Baring in mind "Fantasia" is one of the few colour films made in the era and the first to experiment with a surround sound score, to see and hear the film in this quality is, I think, stunning.
		Echoing the history of Fantasia, another new Fantasia was going to be made after this, but recent changes at Disney have put all of that on hold.

	The Fantasia Anthology (2000)
		Both the Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 discs that appear in the boxed set are absolutely identical to those available individually.
		Although Fantasia originally was conceived as an ongoing “work in progress” - it would be in continual release, and some segments would be added while others were dropped - THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE is the only part of F2K that also appeared in the original film.
		As I relate in my separate reviews of both Fantasia and Fantasia 2000, these films are far from being my favorite pieces of Disney animation, but they nonetheless have quite a lot to offer and are generally solid movies.

	The Fantasia Anthology (1940) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		With the advances in computer animation, even during the making of the film, and the widespread use and acceptance of the digital medium for creative purposes, this was a terrific means of displaying the arts of animation in all their glories.
		Of course, given the historical nature of some of this material, this is easily overlooked in the overall sense, but it is a great shame that this sort of material is not and cannot be subjected to full blown restoration: in many respects, some of this material is as important as the film itself.
		Surprisingly, some of the more recent Fantasia 2000 story reel stuff is very obviously blighted with film artefacts to an extent that almost equals some of the earlier Fantasia material.

	Fantasia 2000 Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Disney's 1940 classic "Fantasia" is updated for the millennium with seven new musical segments and is produced in the IMAX format.
		In light of its initial flounderings, Walt's intention of making Fantasia an "organic" and evolving film that would periodically be updated with new animated vignettes fell by the wayside.
		The former suffers from stilted, afternoon cartoon style animation, while the latter is a vapid attempt to redo the original Fantasia's "Night on Bald Mountain"/"Ave Maria" finale, with a milquetoast "Circle of Life" narrative replacing the original's stunning depiction of the precarious balance between evil and virtue.

	Fantasia 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		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.
		But when it's on target, Fantasia 2000 is glorious enough to make you giddy.
		The high point of Fantasia 2000, though, is a fantastic day-in-the-life sequence of 1930s New York City set to Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and animated in the style of cartoonist Al Hirschfeld; it's a perfect melding of music, story, and animation.

		Everyone has their own opinion, but anyone who calls the original Fantasia "dumb" makes me think they are the pot calling the kettle fl (which isn't even a correct analogy, as Fantasia is most assuredly not 'dumb').
		Fantasia 2000 is not a remake of the original, and its not supposed to top the original.
		From the hand drawn centerpiece (and overall BEST Fantasia segment ever) Firebird Suite to the reminiscent-of-'70s-animation watercolored Canival Of The Animals to the computer generated Steadfast Tin Soldier, Fantasia 2000's segments are wildly different visually.

		"Fantasia 2000" opened a run at IMAX theaters in January and has now opened on regular screens for a limited engagement.
		And I dread to think that years from now, somebody taken to "Fantasia 2000" as a child will hear "Rhapsody in Blue" and see the cutesy symphony-of-a-city sequence based on the line drawings of Al Hirschfeld (and considerably less witty).
		The prologue to the original "Fantasia" asserted that the film would be a replication of the images that might go through your head while you were sitting in a concert hall.

	"Fantasia/2000" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		The first Fantasia was a box-office flop, only getting into the fl during its re-release 25 years after it first came out; the mildly obscure classical pieces and snippets of abstract animation didn't appeal to a mass audience until psychedelic images became more mainstream in the '60s.
		Disney was originally going to have three segments from the original Fantasia in Fantasia/2000; time constraints cut that down to only "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," which translates better to the IMAX screen than some critics had hinted.
		Stravinsky notwithstanding, the result of the original "Fantasia" was overwhelmingly Romantic, even if the composers were not technically from that period.) That said, the marriage of animation and music is a thing of beauty.

		The scene where they walk in the desert to the their certain doom, is impressive, to say the least.
		The drunken deeds of wine god Baccus and the cute flying horses in the beginning are the few highlights of this segment.

		The Fantasia segment ends the same way the original tale ends, which makes it one of the most faithful to the original story Disney has done in a while.
		In-house physical dynamics were used to animate some of the 'reactive' elements of the Ballerina such as her cloth skirt and hair curls.

		Not because it is a bad segment, but because it gives the film a 'retread' feel and an attachment to Fantasia that holds Fantasia 2000 in the impossible position of being compared to the original.
		All in all, while it cannot match the original for groundbreaking techniques and jawdropping animation/effects, Fantasia 2000 is just as creative and entertaining as the original.
		However, "Fantasia 2000" and Disney loses 1 star from that for simply not being able to learn from its mistakes.
