Classical music was interpreted by Disney animators, resulting in surreal fantasy and playful escapism. Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra provided the music for eight segments by the composers Tchaikovsky, Moussorgsky, Stravinsky, Beethoven, Ponchielli, Bach, Dukas, and Schubert. Not all the sequences were created equally, but a few are simply glorious, such as 'Night on Bald Mountain,' 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice,' and 'The Nutcracker Suite.' The animation ranges from subtly delicate to fiercely bold. The screen bursts with color and action as creatures transmute and convention is thrust aside. The painstaking detail and saturated hues are unique to this film, unmatched even by more advanced technology. --Rochelle O'Gorman Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - DO NOT BUY THIS DVD!! this is not the original version on vhs or laser disc, you will be diasppointed Rating: - Disney's Greatest Film I have to admit, I'm an avid listener of classical music.

Nutcracker Suite by Peter Illich Tchaikovsky ... Read More Rating: - Great DVD but Bad Price This is a great dvd but the price is nothing I would pay again for a musical that old. Rating: - beachhut I never received the CD of FANTASIA and cannot make a review on this item, but would like to say that I would to hear from Beachhut if they plan to send it or cancel it???? Waiting this long to hear anything is unsatisfactory. Rating: - first exposure to classical music I think I have loved this film since I can remember, from my parent's old video tape to my current DVD. I'm a little sad that it never became truly the evolving work Disney dreamed, but this is still a wondrous collection of music and artwork--all done without the aid of computers. I think this was also my first dive into fantasy, what with the fairies and centaurs and all. Therefore, this is certainly a favorite I cannot do without, whether I'm truly studying it or just slipping it in to play in ...
