MCT:July 29, 2008No vision at all. Some of the animations don't even go with the music. The only scene to watch is "Rhapsody in Blue". That's what the one star is for.
-
Hated the first Fantasia. Got up and walked out of the cinema is was so crappy. So I won't be watching this any time soon.
-
MCT:July 11, 2008I think they should have left it alone, but I admire the effort and still feel it is a stand-alone masterpiece. Perhaps the best animated Disney film of all time.
-
MCT:July 8, 2008Sixty years have passed, and ambitions modern animators try again to make the experiment with music and animation, only this time it is lacking chemisty, harmony, and all the fun of the original. More of a money grab than an actual attept to create something magical again. Sort of like what the sorcerer's apprentice would have made without his master. (Ha, they even used the old apprentice piece to make it look better, but it doesn't fit).

while I applaud the valiant effort to recreate a classic for the modern era, this just didn't quite live up to the standard. while the animation was once again impressive, it just didn't have the same charm and intrigue. Rhapsody in Blue and the whales were probably my favorite. also like Pomp & Circumstance, though Donald Duck as Noah didn't do much for me. good, but not the original.

Enthralling in parts and boring in others, it's a "must-see" for any "Sorcerer's Apprentice" fans out there.
-
MCT:May 29, 2008I love the original Fantasia and this one didn't disappoint me at all. The animations were beautiful and tied perfectly to the music as it should. Disney needs to do more of these.

omg! this is like the ultimate movie ever. i remember when i saw it. i was like so little. i looked like a cute little british boy that would one day gow up to rock the world. anyways.... and i was watching it. and there was like a lot of musik and thats it. but like i remember mickey mouse. and of course, back in the day, and now too, mickey mouse was my idol. and kinda still is. and it brings back the light and buzz. i meant, i remember buzzlightyear. hah. i want to be an astronaut.

MCT:March 10, 2008Hmmm.. Dont like music much. Try harder for kids as well, not many people apart from OAP's actually like this kinda stuff.
-
MCT:February 19, 2008These movies really are amazing, and I think we need more of these types of films for our children. They inspire a new perspective on classic forms of music and ignite interest in, among other things, history, classic composers, creative expression, and imagination. Both this film and the original are great creations that really help stimulate the mind and creativity of children of all ages. Wonderful premise, and enjoyable even for adults.

"It was good especially the last half of the movie". The best musical movie i've seen so far, even though i hate musical movies, tihs one was good".

Plot: 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. A family of whales swimming and soaring to Respighi's The Pines of Rome is magical to watch, but ends all too soon; a forest sprite's dance of life, death, and rebirth to Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring too clearly echoes the original Fantasia's Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria sequence. But when it's on target, Fantasia 2000 is glorious enough to make you giddy. Hans Christian Andersen's "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" is a perfect narrative set to Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 2, and Donald Duck's guest appearance as the assistant to Noah (of ark fame) set to Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance marches is a welcome companion piece (though not an equal) to The Sorcerer's Apprentice, the one original Fantasia piece included here. The high point of Fantasia 2000, though, is a fantastic day-in-the-life sequence of 1930s New York City set to Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and animated in the _disabled of cartoonist Al Hirschfeld; it's a perfect melding of music, story, and animation. Let's hope future Fantasias (reportedly in the works) take a cue from the best of this compilation. The music is provided by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conducted by James Levine, interspersed with negligible intros by Steve Martin, Bette Midler, Itzhak Perlman, James Earl Jones, and others

I can be quick with my verdict on this animation movie. Beautiful, entertaining and excellent soundtrack!!!
Highly recommended to see!!! -
MCT:November 29, 2007
If would have patronized the film if only I was still 7 when I last saw it. The concept of transforming classical pieces into MTV-like formats is just genius.

The closing section featuring Stravinsky's Firebird Suite & illustrating the rebirth of nature brought tears to my eyes in all its Imax glory back when it came out.
-
MCT:November 4, 2007
i like the whales. obviously the artwork is more advanced here due to technology upgrade. but it's true to the original.

Almost sixty years later, the long awaited sequel arrives (in IMAX!) The animation is stunningly beautiful and the choices of music are brilliant. The synchronisation of The Toy Soldier is a marvel and the Beethoven segment is a stunner. However, the showstoppers are The Pines of Rome and most spectacularly of all, The Firebird Suite.

The music was still great, and so was the artistry, but the pictures didn't flow with the music as well.
-
MCT:September 23, 2007
Quite simply the last great conventionally animated Disney film. All the segments are gorgeous and lots of fun but my personal favorite is the Al Hirschfield-esque interpretation of Rhapsody in Blue. Perfect.
-
MCT:August 25, 2007
This is basically a rating for the new segments which are good but not in the caliber of the original.
-
MCT:August 4, 2007
Saw it in an IMAX theatre and it really is beautiful. Yes, we all have a place in our hearts for the first one, this was never meant to replace the first one, just compliment it.
-
MCT:July 29, 2007
There should have been a piece based on "Ride of the Valkyries" instead of "Rapsody in Blue". Best part: The animation.
-
MCT:July 27, 2007
lets face it, there was no way it was going to be as good as the original, but there were still some cool things about it
