what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

That's what Fantasia is. There is no better way to put it. I first saw this when I was 11, and did so numerous times, It was my favorite movie behind All Dogs Go To Heaven at the time. This one, unlike "ADGTH", still holds up.Fantasia has no plot, just 7 segments of classical music with gorgeous animation. The best is The Sorcerer's Apprentice, with Mickey Mouse messing with witchcraft. (Which was much more acceptable than Harry Potter in our house since it was a cartoon, I guess!) Every drawing included, every note hit, is beautiful.The ending, I should note, is dark. It mostly consists of a demonic creature conjuring up skeletons from Hell. Younger viewers may be disturbed by this. There's many Disney movies I love but few I could call "perfect." Fantasia is one that is -in fact-perfect.

It's inventive and fun, it's anarchic and the one Disney animated feature that has naked girls in it! Okay, but that's not it's main quality. The music is fantastic and the images are colorful. It's not so much about story as it is a synergy of these images and the music - a quality Disney developed with their series of shorts called Silly Symphonies. Mickey became a pop culture icon as the sorcerer's apprentice - for good reason. "His" episode in Fantasia is - hands down - the best.

Fantasia is one of the most popular, amazing, and legendary animations. This is what started Micky Mouse's career. One of Disney's boldest creations/experiments to date to say the least. Its a combination of beautiful classical pieces of music along with unique and amazing animations starting with Mickey waking up from a dream. "Disney decided to include the short in a feature-length film with other segments set to classical pieces. The soundtrack was recorded using multiple audio channels and reproduced with Fantasound, a pioneering sound reproduction system that made Fantasia the first commercial film shown in stereophonic sound."

Walt Disney films are always great but when I went into Fantasia I knew it would be more artsy and metaphoric then let's say Snow White or The Lion King. But this movie is much more than that, it is a spectacle and a site, the animation is gorgeous and even creepy at certain times. I had originally only seen Fantasia 2000 but after seeing the near Masterpiece that this animation is" that movie is honestly garbage and this has much more meaning and the animation is much more Gothic and artsy. It is great
