Classical music was interpreted by Disney animators, resulting in surreal fantasy and playful escapism. Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra provided the music for eight segments by the composers 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," "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," and "The Nutcracker Suite." The animation ranges from subtly delicate to fiercely bold. The screen bursts with color 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 | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

 Fantasia is FabulousJun 29, 2009
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!

The best from DisneyJun 08, 2009
Fantasia is the best film from Disney Studios. It's great to those who like movies and to those who like music, for kids and adults.

 Different GenerationsMay 21, 2009
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) but there isn't really much appreciation for the more classy works!
Times are changing...
AMAZING.....!May 15, 2009
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!
