In the time where CGI or computers were present, this was purely crafted out of hard work. The animation, hand drawn, inked and sketched to perfection with skilled editing for the musical accompaniment. A landmark for animated films since the iconic figure holds the baton and manages the picture. Fantasia is a work of art which may not be for everyone, but is considered one of the landmark classics for this genre, even for Disney. |

This is a fascinating blend of music and animation. For those who haven't seen it, it's a great introduction to a variety of influential composers, as well as an example of how music and art can blend so well together. |

Visually Marvelous, But Not Much Else |

There comes a time in every critic's life, in which they have to give a negative review to a well known and loved classic. Unfortunately, I am in the situation of giving a negative review to one of the best known and best received animated films of all time; Fantasia.
Fantasia really doesn't have a plot of any kind. Instead, it boasts a unique premise. We are introduced at the beginning to a new kind of entertainment called Fantasia. This is a combination of music and visuals. There are three different varieties of this: The first being music that tells a story. The second being music with no particular plot, and the third being music that exists just for music's sake.
After seeing the introduction explaining this, I grew quite excited. I was certainly intrigued, and I was sure th... |

Review - Fantasia (1940) |
|
In Walt Disney’s most artistic project, several animated interpretations of classical compositions are displayed. The project is known as “Fantasia.”
Disney was the first person to prove that animation could in fact be an art form. The project, which originally started with the short “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” and grew to something bigger, is still known today as one of the most original and epic of Disney films, and even animated films.
Every section of the film was shown as much attention to detail as possible, and it really shows. The beautiful textures and colors used bring life to the famous pieces. My personal favorite is “A Night On Bald Mountain,” but “The Rite of Spring” is one of the most original and involved works of animation I’ve seen. Not to say the other sections ar... |
