    My favorite Disney movie. You can just tune out and watch so next to no thought is required. Not that that's the case with most Disney movies of the era, but still. Watching it again after not seeing Fantasia in several years tells me it's not as great as I'd originally surmised,...( read more) but its 40s eye candy through a medium which at the time was new and exciting. Damn great stuff regardless. I wish Disney did more of this back in the day.

    It's a disney world dream of the children fantasy to meet all these kinds of character cartoons.

    Impossível não dar nota máxima para essa grande obra dos estúdios Disney. Fantasia é um grande marco na história das animações, um desenho quase que artístico todo feito a mão e com uma trilha sonora espetacular orquestrada de grandes compositores. Simplesmente divino.

    Overrated.

    Muitos trechos chatos e inapropriado para crianças.

    Mas vale notar que o segmento do Tchaikovsky, com O Quebra-Nozes (The Nutcracker), é muito bom, em música e imagens. Especialmente a Dança da Fada Açucarada (Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy) e a Valsa das Flores (Walt...( read more)z of the Flowers).

    E a abertura, omg, é BACH.
