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 adapted them into one film. I just didnt understand the stories that much and I didnt really understand the point in the live action introduction at the beginning by Walt Disney himself. This was an introduction to how imaginitive Walt Disney really was and his development of different styles of characters.
His actions within this film seemed quite serious to Walt because he wanted Mickey Mouse and other characters in the film to be well known and to make other animated filmmakers develop powerful and beautiful characters together. Also, because Walt wanted this film to earn more than family pleasure but mostly because of the beauty in this world. This film was made during WWII so it sort of brought beauty into the world for people to sort of forget about WWII.
The direction was really good by all of Walt Disneys organization. It barely has any script at all but of some of the words that are said seem peaceful words. Mickey Mouse is the same sort of character as he always has been in every film and show he has ever been involved in. I have always been so puzzled about Mickeys voice in the past and in the present days. This film brought the bizarreness to animation because of the mixed stories and also because of the different types of characters. The twists were when the stories switched around. Fantasia had absolutely outstanding music that is a delight to listen to. Music is what Disney always used to be and still is really good at. It is a delight that Walt brings to all of his films. This film didnt earn any Academy Awards at all.
This is one of my least favourite Walt Disney films. I know that my review sounds like a good review but it isnt really because I found this film very boring and very strange because I didnt really understand what was going on between the characters. I thought it was just like a random film that is just a collection of shorts that Disney thought of in his past works before Fantasia. This film was quite a weird one after his two previous and first two films Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio. That is why I have to rate it 2.5 because it was weird, confusing and quite complex for little kids. I simply loooove Disneys classics but this is one of those that I wasnt really keen on. It did have awesome music and that is about it. Wish I liked it more but dont I am afraid.
