Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This movie is really a testament to Walt Disney. I can't believe it was created almost 80 years ago! From the beginning it has a very beautiful style and unique one. I was happy to see color not a black and white movie. Not just any color, lots of beautiful vibrant colors and sounds. The soundtrack to this is awesome and I recognize some of the tunes, it is presented in such a unique way I cannot begin to emphasize that. The way the conductor of the band will speak to the camera, audience and cleverly it will cut to the next scene, a psychedelic field of mushrooms dancing to a timeless masterpiece. I counted 7 different scenes or different music videos. All were unique in their own way and kept me interested. I now know why this is claimed as Walt Disney's Masterpiece! This was created for the purpose of testing the imagination and creating an experience that truly immerses the audience into a work of art.

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.

This film was not what I expected to be at all, well I really didn't know what to expect before watching it but I am a huge Disney fan. I liked Fantasia a lot though, even though there was no plot, it was very relaxing to watch. I am very impressed that this film was created in 1940's. I am very curious as to how they had all of the technology to put the animations together like that... A very colorful, musical film full of different creations. Definitely interesting, impressive, and fun!

I grew up with the 2000's fantasia, which I have seen many times over. Maybe that's why I was so partial to it when I would hear that the first fantasia was so much better than the one I already knew. It turns out those people had a point. Nothing feels forced as the conductor and the musicians around him actually stop to breathe in between the pieces they're playing. In addition, many of the musical bits with their animation; (which I have inevitably come across on the Internet) are really so much more impact-full in context. More time and attention seems to be given to each piece, which leads to numbers that can slowly fade in or out at the musics' pace-unhurried. There are a lot of moments throughout that will make someone familiar with the 40's and some of its ideas laugh for sure. I also feel as if the orchestra is more connected to what they are playing; rather than being swept aside by the animation. Though, the animation is stunning. When you consider that computers and just technology surrounding film, (let alone that in everyday life,) was nowhere near it is today; it's hard not to appreciate the time and skill that it really took to create an animation: let alone a Disney Animation. So glad I watched this! Though I still recommend seeing the later 200's version as well, because there are a few breathtaking numbers to be seen within; just know that the atmosphere of the two films do differ some.
