Fantasia

Pros: Brilliant melding of music and image into a new form of animated art.
Cons: Uneven. Some segments reek of 1930s attitudes.

After my dinner tonight, I settled down for a cozy evening at home, here at Chateau Maine, accompanied by my delightful feline companion, Patrick Flanagan. Patrick, however, had other plans for the evening and soon left for a benefit concert at the...

Pros: Good artistry and humor- Introduction to formal music and history
Good vs Evil
Cons: Scary. Too much of the Conductor- Preoccupation with death and the hereafter.

Walt Disney's Masterpiece FANTASIA - (1990) VHS - 1.33:1 Aspect Ratio - 200 minutes(See Notes on the new format Epinions just put into use.) Sight Impressions of Sounds - What one might think certain music means or represents... I was 5 ...

Pros: ART, IMAGINATION, SOUND
Cons: the narration makes me fidget

I watched this film again, for the fourth time in my life, just last night, although I have seen parts of it on many occasions. This time, there was a dimension to it that I had not previously appreciated, and that is (or was) it's historical vision....

Pros: Features some of the best in animation, music, and the mixing of the two
Cons: Sometimes the animation doesn't live up to the music, no Mozart

Man, Thursday night television sucks. I was flipping through channels and my options were two seriously unfunny comedians hosting the 2001 Brit Awards, or one of those bad crime dramas that are going to be canceled in three weeks. I was...

Pros: Great family movie with lots of wonderful music!
Cons: none

Fantasia came into Disney's mind because of Walt Disney's concern for the career of Mickey Mouse. To Walt, Mickey Mouse was not just a "money making" cartoon character or a repeated gag maker. Walt Disney was Mickey's voice, alter-ego, and it troubled ...

Pros: Fun...Very Imaginative...Must of Took Forever..Matches with the Lost Highway
Cons: No Plot...Scary...Poltically incorrect

Before MTV...We had Disney to thank for the concept of "music video" when they released "Fantasia". Although the movie is a little "politically incorrect", it still manages to spread its magic and imagination along with...

Pros: soundtrack, ambition and originality of concept
Cons: slow or bleak passages, sometimes stolid, not for little kids

Fantasia was the fourth feature length animated film ever made, following Disney's own Snow White and Pinocchio, and Fleischer Studio's Gulliver's Travels. It was also the second animated feature that year for Disney's busy...

Pros: Exquisite Animation art, and of course, music. Experimental, innovative, its not aimed at kids!
Cons: The Pastoral Sequence, wayyy too cutesy. many minor quibbles in aesthetics, failed at initial release.

I will say this now really don’t think too highly of Disney’s films. I’d never thought I’d be giving a film that wasn’t done by Pixar or any other outsourced animation studio, a rating as high as 4 stars. Disney is the company that has put animation...

Pros: Beautiful music, fascinating images.
Cons: No storyline, inconsistent

The most ambitious animated film ever, released in 1940, three years after the critical and box-office triumph of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", this is Walt Disney's bold attempt to unite animation and classical music. The result is a...

Pros: Gorgeous art film
Cons: not 'The Lion King'

I first saw Fantasia when I was about 7 years old. I remember the Dinosaurs, the 'Soundtrack' Part (Which I recogonized from Wlat Disney World where they used that segment as a pre-show for the 'Mickey's Review' attraction, and, most of all, I remembered...

Pros: pretty good songs by unknown hacks/impeccable animation by studio hacks
Cons: abstract Bach sequence/interview with a soundtrack

It's hard to knock a movie that has so much going for it and was quite a technical achievement in animation. It was a one-of-a-kind experience. That was until FANTASIA 2000 came along. Was it the Disney studio's greatest work? Its masterpiece?...

Pros: Excellent for little babies
Cons: Too long

I picked this movie to see if the colors and music would entice my child. It did just that. I have an 8 month old child who likes to watch parts of Fantasia. The vivid animation, the magical tones, and the beautiful music both captivates and intrigues...

Pros: great music themes
Cons: long viewing

This movie is great if you just want to sit down and watch something. About once a year I watch it. The movie is constantly changing from one event to another. It tells stories with music and pictures. The music in it can be so dramatic at points and...

Pros: stunning graphics, awesome music
Cons: some scenes may be scary for very young children

A simply wonderful way to introduce children to the enjoyment of classical music. It combines some of the finest music ever written with some of Disney's most memorable images. A potpourri of traditional classical music is matched up with some comical...

Pros: Imaginative and fun
Cons: A few scenes could scare some of the smaller children.

Fantasia is a wonderful display of animation and creativity. I feel this is one of Disney's best movies. It gives you a ride through emotions of joy, curiosity, and happiness. For children it is something to behold. My 3 year old daughter loves to watch...
