WALT DISNEY'S MASTERPIECE |
| |
|
Barclayauctions.com essential video |

Along with Fantasia and Fantasia 2000, the anthology set contains a third disc that examines a segment of both movies in detail. Each segment has an introduction that has experts (including Leonard Maltin), producer Roy E. Disney, or the animators setting up the piece's history. Notes on the music and dozens of design photos are included on all the segments, although others offer more intriguing features. Abandoned animation is shown on many segments, as are a few behind-the-scenes shorts; the most intriguing are experts from Walt Disney's hosted documentaries on how his company made movies. As for the photos, they are awkwardly catalogued and only the most patient of viewers would want to look at all of them. In some segments, though, these images are entertainingly produced as a "story reel," presenting these images--rough animation, sketches, pastel paintings--with the musical accompaniment. For those looking for a more well-rounded view of the films, the two one-hour documentaries on each film's disc lay the groundwork, but none of the anthology looks at how the first film was seen through the years or gives time to anyone who wasn't gung-ho about every element of the films. There is hardly a mention of embarrassing stereotypes that were matted (and still are) out of the "Pastoral" segment, or the intriguing aspect of the film as a '60s icon for the ultimate head-trip. Disney does let their guard down to show sequences that were being readied in 1940 for future editions (including a recently restored short scored to "Clair de Lune"). Most tantalizing is a look at how the special effects were done in the original film. The guide is a scrapbook that one of the technicians kept and was discovered only in 1990. Fans can only hope a reproduction will be made available someday. --Doug Thomas |

broken packaging, ordered through amazon but from another supplier |

This is a great movie for kids though i'm interrested in seeing the newer edition, you can tell that this was dated. I am not giving the movie a poor review i am giving the sender a poor review because when i recieved the dvd the the casing was broken and i had to tape it back together. I did not return it because there was nothing wrong with the disc itself and didnt feel it was worth the effort of sending it back. |

Fantasia |
|
The delivery time was excellent, and I received the package without a scratch. I can now share these DVDs with my grandchildren, to show them the different artists both visual and auditory. I grew up watching the original Fantasia.I saw the 2000 version, being equally delighted at the overall quality. It had music and cartooning in an interesting combination. Thank you. |

Still a Masterpiece |
|
Though a little quaint and antiquated now, Disney's Fantasia continues to enchant and entertain. Watching it, it's also interesting to observe how many groundbreaking graphic and filmmaking innovations it contains. A must for any film buff and just purely enjoyable entertainment. |

Musical perfection, artistically beautiful. |
As an artist, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this movie. I first saw it at age 18, in a summer Disney special at my local theater, and I've loved it ever since. I cannot say enough good things about it. Every household should have this movie. I bought this version years ago and am I glad I did.
** The newer DVD version is supposed to have some original segments that were apparently cut from the theatrical release, though I haven't seen that.
