Fantasia 2000
More ambitious in scope than any of its other animated films (before or to come), Disney's 1940 Fantasia was a dizzying, magical, and highly enjoyable marriage of classical music and animated images. Fantasia 2000 features some breathtaking animation and storytelling, and in a few spots soars to wonderful high points, but it still more often than not has the feel of walking in its predecessor's footsteps as opposed to creating its own path.

(Shirley J. Roberts, 2009-07-01) Any Disney fan who has Fantasia will this updated version as a companion to the original. Fantasia was intended to be a work constantly in evolution, showcasing both music and animated technology in concert. Fantasia 2000 showcases the evolutionary process of both mediums and still maintains the unique Disney charm that has made the animated creations of this studio classics for all generations.
(One-Line Film Reviews, 2009-06-27) The Bottom Line: Going into Fantasia 2000 I knew I was going to get animated sequences (some mediocre, some standout) set to classical music, but I didn't know I was also going to have to deal with interludes in which celebrities painfully introduce the next piece--maybe Disney needed to pad the tiny running length, but it detracts enough from the film to make me dubious about recommending it. 2.5/4
(aaron, 2009-05-17) This is a great walt disney movie.From steamboat willie to now.I wish walt was here to see what his creations are now.
(Maui's Mom, 2009-03-30) I was extremely pleased with the cost, quick delivery, and excellent condition of this DVD. I highly recommend this vendor, and would use them again!
(Donald C. Stalzer, 2009-02-11) I was not new to this video. I saw the original on a huge surround screen in Columbus, Ohio. While critics say this is not as good as Fantasia "1", it is something original and beautiful and may not have passed muster with Walt (he was a perfectionist) it is a continuation of the art/music thematic material of original Disney...not the totally "commercial cutesy" that "makes a buck". I am shocked that very young kids "get it" as well as adults. Not many keep a dry eye with the Donald Duck/Daisy Duck "Noah" theme. And if one does not have Mickey Mouse in The Sorcerer's Apprentice, you have it on this disk and updated in color and sound. A collector's item, yes. And it will not collect dust over time with family interest. The used, like new, condition from the vendor was perfect.
