These images, familiar and beloved by generations of moviegoers all over the world, can now be enjoyed again and again in this timeless original. See the music come to life, hear the pictures burst into song and experience the excitement that is Walt Disney's innovative Fantasia!

Fantasia review by The Lesser Merlin
Interesting, entertaining, informative?
(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.
This 1940 animated film produced by Walt Disney consists of eight well-known pieces of classical music performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra (conducted by Leopold Stokowski), each with a short introduction. It was a major innovation - and included the first commercial stereophonic surround sound (1940!!). The original underwent a major restoration in 1990.
Interesting, entertaining, informative? Well, yes, I guess a bit of all three - but most interesting is just how dated the more abstract imagery is, compared with the more conventional Disney style (Mickey Mouse, the ostriches snd the Hippo). The centaurs, cupids and fauns are just sickeningly cutey-pie.

Fantasia review by MickW
Has to be 5 stars, this 'masterpiece' may be patchy but the best bits are un-missable!

Wow - it's probably 40 years since I last saw this and when I saw that it was only available on Blu-ray - this was enough of an incentive for me to acquire a Blu-ray player over Xmas just to be able to see it again! And I have to say, no regrets. It's going to be difficult to send this one back! The Nutcracker Suite, Bach's Toccata and Fugue are just so special that you should watch this for these pieces alone!
