Pros: A number of the sequences match the genius of the original Fantasia
Cons: Celebrity spots
Released in 1940, the original Fantasia was a very special blend of music and animation. In producing Fantasia 2000, Disney had large expectations and giant shoes to fill. As a musician and a fan of animation, I had really looked forward to Fantasia...

Pros: Amazing animation and beautiful music.
Cons: None.
Disney began the year 2000 with its most beautiful movie to date: Fantasia 2000. If you're like me and you were too busy to see it then, Disney has blessed us with a special four-week screening.
The animation, as always, is breathtaking....

Pros: the Gerswhin segment was nice, entertaining
Cons: pedophile, no contemporary music, lacks the vision and ambition of the original
FANTASIA 2000
Although it was Richard Wagner who coined the term "Gesamkunstwerk" to
describe his ideal marriage of all the arts on an equal, integrated plain, Walt Disney came far closer to realizing this totality of the arts...

Pros: Excellent animation, great stories
Cons: IMAX not necessary, too short, useless celebrity intros
In 1940, "Fantasia" was released to relatively little critical acclaim. In 1990, it was released on video, and deemed a classic work of art. My, how 50 years can change things.
"Fantasia 2000," released on January 1...

Pros: Relevance for contemporary viewers, great music
Cons: Bette Midler is distracting
This is only the third IMAX film, as opposed to a ride, that I have been to (the line between the two being rather narrow). The first was in 1992 in Monterrey, Mexico, and the second was in 1998 in Chicago, Illinois (at the foot of the Sears Tower, and...

Pros: stunning animation and music
Cons: Mickey's old segment actually the weakest
Roy E. Disney, Walt Disney's nephew, has said that the original Fantasia is "a wondrous sampler. This one's a cherry cream, and that one's a chocolate-covered nut." Roy Disney is executive producer of Fantasia 2000, which is the complete...

Pros: IMAX Format is a major boon
Cons: Creators didn't seem to take full advantage of updated technology in animation
"Is this just a conversion of the original movie to IMAX?"
"Are there going to be new segments?"
"What is the reason for Disney doing this project?"
These were all questions presented to me...

Pros: State Of The Art Animation, Great 48 Track Digital Sound and Superior Family Entertainment
Cons: Imax is pricey. May be a disappointment to those expecting something more revolutionary.
Fantasia 2000 is a montage of state of the art animated short films set to classical music. This is superior family film. Appreciation for the music is enhanced by 48 track digital sound. Spectacular projected animated images dance and swirl upon a 56...

Pros: Excellent use of the IMAX format.
Cons: Limited number of IMAX theaters available for screening
Several years ago at a Sci-Fi convention in Chatanoga I was able to watch Disney's Fantasia in a setting akin to a private screening. One of the con members had brought his personal 16 mm copy of the movie and was showing it himself for all who were...

Pros: IMAX, fantastic music selection
Cons: None, none, none
Because I live in Washington, DC - I had to drive all the way to Baltimore, MD to see this film at the Science Center - I did so without reservation, and was not disappointed.
First of all - releasing this film in IMAX first was a stroke of...

Pros: Great visuals. Fun to watch.
Cons: A little long at times. Not everybody will like no dialogue.
I really think this movie is more for adults than kids. The original was special for kids because of the color and the fluid movements. Nowadays kids are used to seeing all this special effects computer animation. Nevertheless the movie is still very...

Pros: Spectacular visuals
Cons: but will we still like it in 20 years?
Fantasia 2000 is, without a doubt, a gorgeous movie, as was the original. After you saw it, you'll probably feel that it was worth the money and the extra trip to the IMAX. But I doubt that there's much here that will still be considered a classic...

Pros: Everyone loves Disney
Cons: Orchestral Music may not suit everyone
After viewing the new IMAX film Fantasia 2000, I was interested in going back and renting the original to compare stories. The new show is the work in progress that was supposed to be added over the years by Disney, but the ideas fell through and until...

Pros: If you've never seen an IMAX film, it might be worth seeing. Maybe
Cons: Everything about the film. It just was not a good idea.
I just saw Fantasia/2000 today. Hated it. Don't get me wrong, it was amazing, but it wasn't good. It is definitely not an improvement on the classic. The segments were boring, the music wasn't stimulating, and overall it just wasn't a good film.

Pros: Stunning graphics/amazing classical music
Cons: Too expensive/boring
I first saw a 3-D movie at the IMAX, and I was definitely looking forward to my second experience, "Fantasia 2000." Since I had never seen the original "Fantasia" movie, I had no idea what to expect. I had an inkling that the...
