Disney's Fantasia films are a series of animated shorts in which a short film is produced to match a particular musical piece.
A celebration of sight and sound, featuring eight sequences marrying classical music with the most innovative animation of its day. See dancing fairies, fish, flowers, mushrooms and leaves in the "Nutcracker Suite"; follow Mickey Mouse in his iconic role as "The Sorcerer's Apprentice"; laugh along with a comic ballet starring hippos, elephants, alligators and ostriches in "Dance of the Hours"; and hold on to your seat when the evil Chernabog summons restless souls in "Night on Bald Mountain." Watch the music come to life, hear the pictures burst into song and experience the excitement that is Fantasia.
Inspired by Walt Disney's vision of the original Fantasia as a work-in-progress, Fantasia 2000 continues that vision in a creative blend of classical music and the latest animated imagery, featuring "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and seven new sequences. See whales soar through clouds and into space in "Pines of Rome"; laugh with a flock of flamingos as they try to persuade one of their own to behave in "The Carnival of the Animals"; urge Donald Duck, as Noah's assistant, trying to get animals into the ark in "Pomp and Circumstance"; and root for four 1930s New Yorkers wishing for a better life in "Rhapsody in Blue." With technological tools and innovations that blend traditional animation with modern flair, this is a feast for your eyes, ears and heart.
