Made in the 1940's "Fantasia" is nothing short of a monument as a sign of great Filmmaking.
As the movie cover says, "This extraordinary blend of magnificent music and animation is an exhilarating sight and sound experience".
I couldn't describe it better myself.
The movie starts out as an elegant musical performance that is lead by Conductor Leopold Stokowski and The Philadelphia Orchestra.
He explains every piece you hear will hear in this fantastic animated feature.
There are works by John Sebastian Bach, a great German composer such as Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky, The Nutcracker Waltz by Pyotr Tchaikovsky , famous Russian composer that is recognized all over the world, all accompanied by great Disney Animation.
There is also a segment featuring Mickey Mouse as the young apprentice who is trying to measure up to his Master who is a powerful sorcerer, but Mickey has trouble just taking control of a broom to clean his daily chores. As he tries to take control of it, he causes more trouble and fun for the viewing audience.
We also get a fascinating look into the Prehistoric Age billions of years ago when Dinosaurs roamed the earth. You’re kids will find this part exciting because Disney presents many Dinosaurs such as a Brontosaurus, Pterodactyls and even a Tyrannosaurus Rex. All the movements of the dinosaurs are wonderfully animated by Disney. The artists really capture their presence.
Disney would use their beauty animating Dinosaurs “In The Land Before Time” movie series. Another great scene is where the conductor introduces In the soundtrack of the picture and produces to indulge in the many instruments and their sounds such as a harp, trumpet, violin and many other instruments.
I would explain more of the scenes but that would take away from the anticipation of those people who haven’t watched this film in years.
There is a new version of Fantasia called “Fantasia 2000” which includes new scenes and a computer restored version of the film. Whichever version you watch, it will be a viewing pleasure you won’t forget.
A must buy for Adults and Kids.
This movie brought back great memories of when I was a kid, and now looking back at this movie, I can appreciate what Walt Disney did in creating this timeless movie.
