Tell me your thoughts on fantasia, user

The Nutcracker segment in Fantasia pretty much single handedly rescued the Nutcracker ballet from obscurity and made it into the household name and annual tradition it is today.

Also it weirdly got its own unofficial anime sequel where a kid who plays the oboe moves in with his fairy wife.

I have seen yesterday, and yes it's pretty good, but some parts were a bit weak. The nutcracker was amazing but I found the hippos ballete pretty stupid and the ending of Bald mountain had a several lack in terms of animation.

Some parts are beautifully animated but overall is not really awsome,

>got its own unofficial anime sequel
What? Souce?

>tfw Fantasia 2000 has some amazing segments but don't want to sit through the celebrity hosts again

I bought it on DVD a long time ago because it had an almost mythical reputation and I remembered how difficult it had been to find the movie anywhere earlier.
After seeing so much hype for it I honestly couldn't help feeling kinda disappointed in it, though. It's pretty slow-paced, some of the more abstract segments didn't appeal to me, I didn't care for the live-action segments either, and I've never been much of a fan of classical music in the first place. Also, I was at my teens at the time when I saw the movie, and I don't think I was very patient with slow/old movies during that part of my life.
I did enjoy Fantasia 2000, though. Its segments had art styles and stories that kept me interested.

A Journey Through Fairyland, which was also released under the title of Fairy Florence, is a feature length movie from Sanrio studios that basically takes some pretty damn strong inspiration from Fantasia, stretches it out, and applies it to a fairly coherent story. It’s mostly about flower fairies dancing around to various pieces of classical music and a kid from some music school that visits them.

A lot of the animation was pretty cutting edge for 1940, at least.

Good stuff, makes me wish they did a lot more music animation. I remember reading somewhere that they planned to do one every couple years, but the first wasn't a huge financial hit so they moved on.

At least they still found places for scenic animation in other movies.

Even in 2019, bald mountain, the nutcracker and that one with the colorfull horses still are pretty impresive

I’ve seen people fault the animation at the end of Bald Mountain (by which I assume they mean the Ave Maria segment, which just kinda picks up after Bald Mountain ends with no break in between), but I really don’t get it. The multiplane camera on use in that part was a big deal for its time.

>can't even wish for Fantasia 3 anymore because it'll just be 3D shit that'll inevitably age badly
Fuck Iger for killing off 2D at Disney

As a child I would watch the dinosaur part and sleep through everything else.

Even if they never got to do their plan for more frequent Fantasia sequels, maybe they'll still do another some day again. The first Fantasia was released in 1940 and the second came out in 1999, so the third one might have another decades-long delay like that.
...then again, maybe it won't happen. Another Fantasia movie might be considered too experimental to succeed today, and I'm not sure if it could sell merchandise. Did Fantasia 2000 even get any kind of toys or other merch?

>that second link video
When you grew up Christian and your parents explain the consequences of jerking off

Here's hoping. And no, I don't think Fantasia 2000 had any merch, it was done as a legacy thing I guess.

Probably one of my favorite animated works out there Night on bald baked mountain and ave Maria are some of the best segments ever drawn

I watched it again last year for the first time in years, and still loved it. Fantasia was a favorite of mine as a kid, but yeah, I remember putting this on one birthday and everyone else was bored of it, so we stopped and watched The Simpsons instead.

I’d take a Fantasia 2020 or 2030 anyday

>what is a fast-forward button

The dead rising sequence in Bald Mountain scared the piss out of me as a kid

For its time it was the most ambitious high concept work of sequential art ever made. The combination of visual and audible experience was noble and unprecedented, and it remains as a high water mark for animation the world over. Not actually for children, and certainly not for the modern American audience. Every scene lacks dialogue and must rely on the music and visuals to tell its story, a feat many modern animators would struggle with. I do believe it is the height of what you can do with traditional animation methods.

It is woke and redpilled and insert more buzzwords here.

It’s a chore to sit through but thank god dvd was invented. You can skip the lame ass parts.

There will never be anything made by Disney that will match the maturity, horror, art, and music of Fantasia
The animation still holds up today and Chernabog is a badass

But what do you guys think of this?

As a kid, I found some sections boring, and some really nice.
I need to rewatch it, it's been years since I've seen it.

I would take those over the narrator in Fantasia every single time, and at least there is Penn and Teller so at least that's something.

Have you watched Snow White, Alice, The Jungle Book, Peter Pan, The Sleeping Beauty? Fantasia is good, but it's not like it's Disney's greatest work or something.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

The Bolero of the dinosaurs Is top notch

Pastoral Symphony is dope as hell, especially when Bacchus parties with the centaurettes and Zeus fucks shit up with the lightning bolts

Would take an endless stream of Fantasias over an endless stream of remakes and MCU averageness any day

>fant asia
>not a single anim girl
dropped

>Fun

See and

As a kid I'd watch it all the way through, even the slow parts because that made the parts with dinosaurs and Chernabog even more awesome.

My parents must have loved my attention span if I did that as often as I remember.

It's my favorite Disney movie. I love how seamlessly the art and music go together, plus it was one of Walt's passion projects. I wish we had gotten more.

>I did enjoy Fantasia 2000, though. Its segments had art styles and stories that kept me interested.
I wish they'd do a version with the stupid live action segments.
The Firebird animation is ubelievablle.
