Fantasia

How do you anons feel about this film? Fantasia 2000 is welcome as well.
As a kid I watched this surprisingly often. I guess I liked the synchronized music and lack of dialogue.

Also have something to share in my next post.

In the last MEGA thread user asked me to upload an ISO of the first disc of the Fantasia Anthology set from 2000, but I was unable to. As promised, I'll post it here, along with the bonus material I posted before.

I think they're both fantastic films.
Fantasia was something like theatrical work of art brought to cinema and including such a colorful variety of ideas.
Fantasia 2000 was a bit less since most of the in-between moments were celebrities and often comedic, but it also had the value of more stories in the musical numbers and not just lines or mushrooms dancing.

Bought a Blu-ray doublepack of both recently and cherish them both.

Few notes about this version:
>Deems Taylor
Taylor's voice has been dubbed over like on the BD. His voice was intact in the trimmed version seen on VHS and LD, but his voice from the previously cut scenes from the longer roadshow version have been lost and thus Disney decided to dub him over entirely for parity. Here is a comparison:

>Sunflower
Still censored since the late '60s, you will only find her on very old prints. Censored shots are matted instead of cut entirely which preserves the soundtrack unlike VHS/LD versions.

>Video
It's an old transfer and looks a bit tattered in parts, but it does seem to lack DNR unlike the BD version.

>Audio
From what I've heard this is the version most faithful to the original lost Fantasound mix, maybe apart from an earlier LD release.(although that's missing segments from the Pastoral Symphony) Includes a DTS track, Dolby Digital track, commentary track and readings from old Walt Disney interviews.

It's my favorite Disney film. Fantasia 2000 is close but it's a noticeable step down from the original.
I think Disney had a real talent for combining visuals with music in such a way, I know the package films get some slack but I adored them and still do for much the same reasons I love Fantasia.
>His voice was intact in the trimmed version seen on VHS and LD
I have the VHS, the DVD, and a VHS/DVD player, I might pop both in to see the changes to pastoral symphony and more of Deems Taylor, which I never really noticed until the comparison video. Any other changes?

Neat. Is the DVD quality 480p or 720?

The big one is the length. As many of you know, Fantasia wasn't exactly an success so Walt very reluctantly decided to significantly cut the film and replaced the overly expensive to use Fantasound(which was one of the earliest multi-channel sound systems) with your typical '40s monaural sound. Originally it was cut to around 80 minutes, but the common pre-DVD length was 100+ minutes. Modern versions are 126 minutes.
Of Fantasound, only the left and right channels survive today. Modern releases are recreations and none are accurate, but some more than others. Many consider the soundtrack on the BD release to be butchered, which is why I uploaded this.

All links are 480p, the screenshots are what it looks like.

Nice. Thanks again.

Occasional reminder to anyone who likes Fantasia/2000 to watch pic related.
