I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

I remember watching this film as a child and thinking it was fantastic, and going back to it almost ten years later still has yet to change my mind. This film is beautiful, in a time when animation was still fairly new, this one upped many films before it. The music included brought back the feeling I got while going back to look at earlier movies that would have orchestration play in-sync with the picture, and just completely immersed me in this world that I had forgotten about. Fantasia continues to be a Disney classic.

There are seven individual parts to this gorgeous film and each of them are beautiful and magnificent in their own way. The greatest thing about Fantasia is how you can just sit back relax and interpret the individual segments anyway you'd like. You can let your imagination run amok with the beautiful colors and sounds that occur throughout this film. The animated sequences and dances match the music that is played throughout each scene beautifully. Giving it this silky smooth and seamless appearance that I don't believe I've ever experienced in another animated film. The freedom and open spirit feel that is presented throughout ever scene really helps to open your eyes and to immerse yourself into this beautifully put together work of art.

Fantasia is the one animated movie I actually appreciate more as as an adult than I did as a boy. It is, quite simply, a masterclass of animation. It didn't do so well on its initial release, perhaps because of its uneven tone. You have the light comedy of a ballet dancing hippo contrasting with a Tyrannosaurus tearing out the throat of a Stegosaurus. You have The Sorcerer's Apprentice (possibly Mickey Mouse's finest hour), but then you have the truly nightmarish Night On Bald Mountain. Disney movies had their fair share of darkness, as I'm sure anyone who saw the donkey scene in Pinocchio will agree, but with Bald Mountain they went all out. I find it creepy to this day.Years ago I had it on video, naturally, but now on DVD with good speakers, it really is a treat. I have lazy days where I lie on the couch and play this.

As a child, I remember seeing this and being blown away by how incredibly creative this film is. Now, as an adult, I can honestly say I feel the same way about it today. I love this movie. The animation style is unlike anything I have seen in films today. No other animated film is as creative and interesting as this one. I wish more people this generation would watch and experience this classic Disney film.
