Reviews

Develiker terrible... so disappointed.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
justinmethe There are seven individual parts to this gorgeous film and each of them are beautiful and magnificent in their own way. The greatest thing about Fantasia is how you can just sit back relax and interpret the individual segments anyway you'd like. You can let your imagination run amok with the beautiful colors and sounds that occur throughout this film. The animated sequences and dances match the music that is played throughout each scene beautifully. Giving it this silky smooth and seamless appearance that I don't believe I've ever experienced in another animated film. The freedom and open spirit feel that is presented throughout ever scene really helps to open your eyes and to immerse yourself into this beautifully put together work of art.
k-howell-77914 I had never seen the original Fantasia before, and dove into this unsure of what exactly to expect. However, for a very well known Walt Disney original movie, I went in with high expectations. Not only were those expectations met, but they were greatly exceeded. I had always been fond of the idea of translating sound and music into art, and Walt Disney mastered it. The animation was nostalgic to watch, as it had become a lost art in the current world of CGI, and it was relieving. The scenes were creative and represented the music to each and every instrument. It was exciting and relaxing, the music flowed, and the animation flowed with it. The music burst, and the animation burst as well. Both the music and the animation had the magic touch of Walt Disney and it was phenomenal to see again.
ashleyrosencrans This film was not what I expected to be at all, well I really didn't know what to expect before watching it but I am a huge Disney fan. I liked Fantasia a lot though, even though there was no plot, it was very relaxing to watch. I am very impressed that this film was created in 1940's. I am very curious as to how they had all of the technology to put the animations together like that... A very colorful, musical film full of different creations. Definitely interesting, impressive, and fun!
sethsholtes 2017 is a year of technical marvel. Looking at movies of today, we see massive, stunning works of animation. We can now achieve computer generated images that look nearly indistinguishable from reality, and at the forefront of movie making today is Disney. Through Marvel, Disney creates multiple action packed superhero blockbusters a year. Star Wars, after it's 2015 revival, has new movies being released annually. Pixar, after creating several successful franchises, is now resting on its laurels, creating sequels like Finding Dory, Toy Story 4, Cars 3 and Incredibles 2. Even Disney's in house animation team is finding success, bringing back the Disney princess formula with movies like Frozen and Moana. However, amidst all this success, we have lost the truly human touch. Fantasia perfectly captures all that was lost in today's Disney movies. The movie has a very personal and human feel to every aspect of it. The orchestra, a very tangible presence in the movie, feels alive. They laugh, play their own little tunes during the intermission, but most importantly, they make mistakes. The animation is the same way, It's very rough at times and sometimes lacking, with some animations being reused, however every shot is filled with passion. You can tell that people worked on this, people with ambition, though they were not perfect. In modern movies, this beautiful animation that looks so real lacks the touch of individualism that Fantasia has in spades. The scene of the Sorcerer's apprentice dancing around the broom is burned into our collective memory for a reason. In all its flaws, its rough edges, it feels real to us. We can see all the raw effort and energy that the animator's put into each of Mickey's footsteps and that resonates with us. Fantasia speaks to the viewer not because it's perfect, but because it's flawed.
