Reader comments: Fantasia 2000

My family and I really enjoyed this movie! We have four children ages 2-10. We got to see it at an IMAX theater out of state and finally locally and liked it both ways. All of our children have always liked the original Fantasia, and I think this one is even better in some ways. The stories are fun, the music is beautiful, and they tightened up the editing. If you felt like the original Fantasia was sort of long-winded, you might want to give this one a try. I didn't care for the Pines of Rome segment as much as the rest, and I think my favorite was Pomp and Circumstance. Donald and Daisy's story is touching (surprise!) and also funny. I don't see how anyone wouldn't enjoy the very clever and visually appealing Rhapsody in Blue section. If you enjoy beautiful music or animation, give this movie a try. If you like both, you're in for a treat!

I think Fantasia 2000 was a dissapointment. The Antimation was good but it didn't carry me away with the music. The Only two exception were the Rhapsody in blue segment, which matched perfectly with George Gershin's musical masterpiece, and of course the wizard's Apprentice, the only segment left from the original Fantasia. I also think that much of the new segments are too scarry for little kids. I would recommend buy a copy of the original Fantasia, if it can be found, and showing it to family menbers. I think they will get more enjoyment out of it than this new version.
