The idea for Fantasia first came along in the mid-1930s where Walt wanted to do a Mickey Mouse short in the style of the Silly Symphonies with the story of the The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. At one night in a Hollywood restaurant, he ran into Leopold Stokowski famous for conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra among being in movies like “The Big Broadcast” and “100 Men and a Girl”.

There comes a time in every critic's life, in which they have to give a negative review to a well known and loved classic. Unfortunately, I am in the situation of giving a negative review to one of the best known and best received animated films of all time; Fantasia.

Fantasia really doesn't have a plot of any kind. Instead, it boasts a unique premise. We are introduced at the begi... read more

This film was really bizzare because there wasnt really a story to it. It was a mixture of different collections of stories. It is one of those films that a lot of people love because of its beauty and inspiring music but there are a lot of people that hate it because it is boring. I didnt hate it I just didnt like it that much. I think that it is a mixture of shorts that Disney thought of and he ... read more

"Nobody can ever forgot Disney's choice to create a film without words; using nothing other than classical music by various composers. This film tells a magnificent fantasy, and is definitely worth watching. It is quite lengthy."

" The Ups: Great animation synchronized to classic music. I felt that "Fantasia" has memorable moments but it's rhythm is problematic since there is a lot of the short films that are too long and boring. My favorite was the somber "Night on the Bald Mountain" and probably the first one that is a more abstract short movie. The Downs: Boring animals, mythic creatures, crocodile and hippos all dancing to some music at one point or another becomes pretty much the same after a while. It is a very ove"
