Fantasia

Some people say that this is an overrated film. I would say that is actually the opposite, a completely underrated and misunderstood film, which even today is criticized and considered as a self- indulgent mess, when the reality is that this is one of the most beautiful films ever made. I love the classic animations from the Walt Disney Company: All had a incredible animation, very fluid and full of details and lovely colors. Every single sequence of this film is just like a dream, and even the darkest part (Night on Bald Mountain) is one of the most fascinating and memorable animations of all the history. I love this movie. I don't mind very much if other people find it to be boring and self indulgent, I will always consider "Fantasia" as a masterpiece. I would give this film eleven stars if I could.

Disney's best feature combines animation and classical music. Most of the sequences work. "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" has some interesting abstract images to fit the music. "The Nutcracker Suite" is superb--simply masterful animation perfectly matching the beautiful music. "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is a cute Mickey Mouse cartoon--probably your only chance to see Mickey wielding an axe! "Rites of Spring" is dull--seeing creation from the very beginning to the dinosaurs--VERY slow and boring. "The Pastrol Symphony" is lots of fun--it uses Greek mythology very well and has great animation--also topless females! "Dance of the Hours" is hilarious--ostriches, hippos, alligators and elephants dancing! "Night on Bald Mountain" is (even by today's standards) strong stuff. Very scary and frightening. "Ave Maria" is lousy--slow slow SLOW!!! Looks good though. Also the needless narration (explaining every single sequence in detail) is not needed. Still, well worth watching.

If you watch a lot of films - and, as someone approaching 60 who has loved movies all my life, I have seen a LOT of films - you begin to notice that things recur. Even in the best of films there are elements which one has seen countless times in other films. Of course, there is always one film which blazes the trail. In the history of film, Fantasia stands alone. It must have seemed an act of lunacy at the time, and it is still sufficiently edgy that it has seldom been emulated - Aleggro Non Troppo is in the same territory, Disney themselves revisited the animated classical concert with Fantasia 2000, and Heavy Metal tried the same idea with risqué visuals and rock music. Nothing came close to this. The selection of popular classics is perfect, and the visual realisations which go with them is no less perfect. There is no other film quite like Fantasia. It blazed its own trail, very others have joined it on that trail, and none of them are in the same class.

This is one of the most fantastic animated features of all time in My opinion! Being a huge fan of movie music scores and classical music this is such an extraordinary movie to watch and enjoy. My favorite pieces in the film is the Nutcracker Suite, Rite of Spring, and Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria. These are three of the greatest pieces of music ever written in My opinion! The animation is crisp, clean, and clear! In fact, this animation is arguably better then today and there hasn't been any animation like the Night on Bald Mountain since in my opinion! Disney did a fabulous achievement here! So if you love Disney, the new fantasia 2000 animated feature, animated films in general, movie scores, and classical music then I strongly recommend that you head over to Amazon.com today and purchase this great animated movie today!
