Delightful, but may scare more sensitive kids.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 24, 2010

The rest of these animated sequences depend on gimmickry, cuteness, or facile ideology.

Fantasia/2000 will no doubt become a Disney perennial, but that does not by definition make it a classic.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 18, 2008

It provides some fine artists the chance to stretch and frolic, even as it reminds today's audiences of animation's limitless borders.

This must be the most belated sequel the movies have produced.

It is a reminder that, after all these years, memories of the first Fantasia can still conjure magic in the mind.

This stuffy sequel features seven new 'movements' and 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice,' the buzz clip from the 1940 original.

As with the original Fantasia, the new film is a mixture of artistically respectable and mediocre moments, which for overall ambition and range, has no parallel in the world of contemporary animation.

It's not that the images aren't pretty, or that great care hasn't gone into them -- it's that the sensibility behind them is so icky, limited in its conception of beauty to picture postcards and the sort of paintings you see in chain hotels.

Whatever its flaws -- from kitschy cupids to racist centaurs -- at least the first Fantasia had a human touch. The sequel seems cold and mechanical by comparison.

Sixty years after Walt Disney's animators first set cartoons to classical music, they've conjured up seven new sequences for Fantasia 2000. Judging from the often Mickey Mouse results, they may have been too hasty.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 16, 2000

As exactly what it is, Fantasia/2000 is splendid entertainment, and the IMAX system is an impressive co-star.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Ideally the music and imagery should fuse into something larger than either. It has rarely worked out that way.

Beautifully designed and presented.

For introducing children to the joys of classical music, the Warner Bros. Bugs Bunny cartoon shorts were far wittier and much less condescending.

A labor of love.

An exhilarating animation concert.

Firmly re-establishes that studio's leadership in animation at the dawn of the new century.

As the first theatrical release designed exclusively for IMAX screens, it fills the eyes of the audience with splendor.

Not only music made visible. It is a millennial medley to the max.
