Fantasia 2000 review

A good movie

already saw this movie but since it was a while back, I was really eager to check it out again. Well, first of all, if there has been one thing that always bothered me with Disney’s animated features, it is their terrible lack of originality. Indeed, basically, most of their movies follow the very same set of rules and even though it was fine when ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ was released, 80 years later, it has become seriously tedious. For this reason, I always had a weak spot for ‘Fantasia’ because, even though it was maybe flawed, it has always been one of their most original productions and, only for this, it should get much more credit. So, when I heard that they were coming back with a sequel, 60 years later, of course, I really had to see the damned thing. Well, eventually, I thought it had basically the same qualities and shortcoming of its predecessor. Indeed, the music was really neat and the animation was fine but not all the segments turned out to be really great though. Furthermore, I wonder if these movies wouldn’t work better without the hosts as they didn’t provide much added value in my opinion. Eventually, after rewatching both ‘Fantasia’, it is difficult to pinpoint what these movies were missing to become truly remarkable. I mean, beside ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’, none of the other segments has become really iconic. However, with this 2nd version, I have to admit that the last segment, which reminded me of Hayao Miyazaki’s work, was quite gorgeous and even rather impressive to behold. Anyway, to conclude, even though it was maybe not a real masterpiece, I still love the concept and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
