It's so rare to be swept away by a presentation of this magnitude. By all means, go.

Still a one-of-a-kind mind-blower.

Though not as good or as massively innovative as its predecessor, is still a mountainous undertaking.

What's missing from Fantasia 2000 is the shamelessly pandering Disney cutesy that made the original such a full-blooded nostalgic memory. Read full review

Charles Taylor

There's some sort of gross egotism involved in linking great music to visuals that are so unabashedly kitschy. Read full review

One of the last great Disney films that was inspired to use some evidence of using drawings instead of computers to create the image. Much like its predecessor, it captures the link between sound and sight perfectly and adds humour.

This is a delightful film, a sort of follow up to, or an update of the Fantasia of 1940. I really like how they choreograph the animated sequences so the music matches what happens on screen.

I really like how they choreograph the animated sequences so the music matches what happens on screen. Its quite clever and looks surprisingly pleasing to the eye, or I thought so anyway. There are scenes which are quite cheery and optimistic in tone but not all of them are. There's a good range of animals depicted and different classical music played and there's an update, of sorts, to perhaps the most famous sequence or segment from the original film - the Sorceror's Apprentice. It was nice watching this, as I had seen the original film but not in quite some time. I enjoyed this very much. I was surprised to see some of the people who feature in the non animated segments, people including Steve Martin and Bette Midler, I believe. This is a film with lots of enjoyable classical/orchestral pieces, a good variety of 2D animation and some interesting trivia provided by people inbetween the individual pieces. I liked this very much and so I'd recommend it, yes.… Expand

Like the original, this move combines beautiful music with Disney-approved, beautiful visuals, in the forms of mini-stories.

So a sequel to one of my favorite movies of all time? And it is.... good enough.

And it is.... good enough. While it doesn't capture the pure magic that is the first one, I can safely say that Fantasia 2000 is a very nice second part, and apart from the first segment (5th symphony) it is generally good, with Rhapsody in blue probably being the best and the last one (Fire Bird) being the best and closest to the original. By all means, this is one orchestra that the whole family can enjoy.… Expand

Es prácticamente un refrito sin inspiración alguna de la original Fantasía de 1940, la animación está OK, pero carece de magia.
