100It's so rare to be swept away by a presentation of this magnitude. By all means, go.
-
90Walt would be proud.
-
88More than lives up to its clever positioning as the first movie of the new millennium.
-
88Still a one-of-a-kind mind-blower.
-
75Movies like this renew my faith that the future of the cinema lies not in the compromises of digital projection, but by leaping over the limitations of digital into the next generation of film technology.
-
75Though not as good or as massively innovative as its predecessor, is still a mountainous undertaking.
-
75Although it's less novel and feisty than the original "Fantasia" of 1940, this collection of music-filled animations is highly entertaining at times.
-
75A millennial medley to the max.
-
75A solid two-bagger, not a home run.
-
75State-of-the-art.
-
75Lacks the cohesive flow of "Fantasia" and suffers from an attention deficit that seems to mark and flaw our current fast-paced technological era.
-
70Like the original "Fantasia's" eight segments, the results are a mixed bag.
-
70Expertly done, and a real joy to watch.
-
67The good news is that they've resurrected a franchise with wonderful potential and may eventually grow bored enough of recapping past triumphs to take it in more daring directions.
-
67Better in theory than in practice.
-
67Oh well, back to the drawing board.
-
63Whether it's any good depends on your expectations.
-
60For all its flaws, Fantasia 2000 is certainly something to see.
-
60Grainy as it looks in its massive Imax blowup, Mickey's misadventures with water and a broom still have the kind of magic even modern technology can't always manage.
-
50It musters both the merits and the drawbacks of the landmark original.
-
50What's missing from Fantasia 2000 is the shamelessly pandering Disney cutesy that made the original such a full-blooded nostalgic memory.
-
50Not especially innovative in its look or subject matter.
-
50Like a light buffet of tasty morsels rather than a full and satisfying meal; all the episodes are more or less agreeable, but as a whole it lacks a knockout punch, one dynamite sequence that will galvanize viewers.
-
50Then as now, visually pleasant and (of course) musically wonderful but, all-in-all, a mixed bag.
-
40Arriving just after the best year for animated film in recent memory, Fantasia 2000 doesn't play like a celebration. In its sentimental yearning for a golden age when another one's upon us, it feels a little like a rebuke.
-
40The rest of these animated sequences...depend on gimmickry, cuteness, or facile ideology, and don't come close to demonstrating the complex relationship between sound and image found in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice."
-
30There's some sort of gross egotism involved in linking great music to visuals that are so unabashedly kitschy.

JJH.7The movie had good animation, I think they shoudn't of had to make a sequel of the original Fantasia movie.
