Fantasia 2000 (DVD, 2000)

Hello
Over the past ten years I have slowly watched this unprecedented influx of unauthorized Disney products mainly out of print and vaulted Disney dvds.
This has happened because of the large amount of money that can be made on the fakes. I receive emails everyday trying to sell me cheap Disney imports for between $4.25 and $5.85 a copy. When they will bring upwards of $40.00 to $100.00 when represented as authentic. You can clearly see where the trouble starts.
I would like to attempt to help you spot a fake Disney dvd and advise you to report all the items you buy on ebay to PayPal and Ebay regardless of the negative retaliatory feedback or threats you receive from these kind of sellers.
PayPal and Ebay move slowly on these matters but I can assure you they do not want these kind of sellers on their sites and will take steps to remove them.
Things to look for
No Buena Vista stamp on the back of the dvd. Please note if the dvd was bought through a major retail outlet Sears, Wallmart, BestBuy and so forth this stamp may not be on it. However it will have security seals.
The weight of a 2-disc copy will be almost 4 ounces less than an authentic 2-disc Disney dvd.
Cheap cardboard slip covers.
How long has this seller been on Ebay?
Does this seller have over 500 positive feedbacks on Disney products?
Are they selling a dvd for much less than a reliable Disney seller.
No inserts inside dvd case.
Seller with a large number of this rare dvd.
These are a few things you can look for on Disney dvds.
With that said I can tell you that the majority of all Disney dvd buyers do not know the difference between a fake and a real Disney dvd.
The fact that you have a 100% lifetime replacement guarantee on authentic Disney dvds direct from Disney is more than enough reason to invest in authentic instead of cheap copies.
There are many honest Disney sellers on Ebay and the quickest way to find them is run a search on whatever Disney dvd you are looking for and then go to highest price buy it now. They are all within the top 10 of that list.
The following is a list of the top ten out of print Disney dvds that might be pirated.
Lion King
The Nightmare before Christmas
Beauty and the Beast
Snow White
Sleeping Beauty
101 Dalmatians
Fantasia 60th
The Original Jungle Book
Cinderella II
Lady and the Tramp
The bottom line folks is, you are not going to find a $100.00 or more Disney out of print dvd for $25.00 to $30.00. I hope this will help those of you who want and expect to get what they pay for.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this report.

Too bad I was scammed and never received it. eBay has allowed the seller to cancel their account, and has not contacted the seller per the eBay dispute resolution policy. I will now be using Amazon instead of eBay for online purchases.

This is a realy great movie,That for some reason was very overlooked by many people.If you have seen the first fantasia Please under stand, The original was TERRIBLE! fantasia 2000 is 2000 times better! The story telling is tremendous in its many vinettes as well as the musical choices.Great for just putting in and watching a little at a time or sitting through the whole thing.

I bought Fantasia 2000 because I loved the original Fantasia so much. This full length feature Disney classic does not have any one particular story line, or words for that matter. This would not be a good movie to hold a four year old's attention, however it IS a great movie for babies because it's so visually stimulating. I also love to put this movie on as a background for parties. I would easily rate this movie 5 out of 5 stars because of the utter beauty of the scenes and the classical music.

I decided to buy Fantasia because I use it as a way to teach visualizing to my second grade students. The students listen to the music before seeing the picture and draw what they see in their minds. It's always suprising how close they are to the movie.

I really like my dvd. I am a music teacher. I teach music pre-k through 8th grade. I use Fantasia as a fun way to learn about classical music and composers. I was very frustrated with the VHS form of Fantasia because I could never que it up to the right composer and or theme. With the dvd, however, the music and subject is readily available. This saves me a lot of time and preserves interest of my students.

I really appreciated the information that was enclosed in the dvd. It has added to the presentations for my classes. So thank you.

This movie is like the original Fantasia movie, but a hundred times better. Each song has a cartoon that tells a story, unlike the original Fantasia that had a lot of abstract colors & drawings flying around the screen. There is one piece to the movie that has a bunch of flying whales-- that scene gets a little long, but the others are fantastic. I bought it for my little girl, & I love to watch it with her. I find myself forgetting that there are no words in the movie. They tell the story so well with music that that's all you need to feel like you're there.

The movie was just as described. It did play in my American DVD player. The only issue I encountered was that the DVD was a little scratched because the disk had fallen out during shipping. I would suggest that, in the future, you use a small amount of tape to secure the item during the shipping process.

I was very impressed with the fast shipping. I would highly recommend this vendor. A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

While nothing can touch the iconic original Fantasia, this lovely sequel captures the joy of the classical music and the beauty of some really extraordinary animation. I purchased this DVD to ensure that my grandchildren would have a copy that they could watch as they are in love with some of the similar though not as elaborate Baby videos that utilize the same premise. These pieces of cinema art are a welcome change from videos that sell characters and frantic activity. What better way to introduce children to the world of great music. The DVD also incorporates the Sorcerer's Apprentice from the original. Well worth having and enjoying with the next generation.

Exactly what I was looking for. In great shape and was at a great price! Came quickly in the mail, I couldn't wait to pop this into the DVD player!

fantasia is a plesant treat for the eyes and ears and while im cooking or clean it keeps my 1 year old occupied i decided to buy it b/c i want to start collecting disney classics

I got this movie for myself, to kind of remember my childhood lol. I couldnt believe how quickly I got this movie sent to me. I felt as tho i got it within a week

Its a great film, always fun to watch. Great to relax to.

I recommend this to anyone who enjoys great music, and classic animations.

II have a friend that has never seen Fantasia or Fantasia 2000.
So I thought the Fantasia 2000 would be a great present for her.

I played the CD before I send it to her and I was completely satisfied. The other thing was I had a question for the seller and he responded immediately. I definitely would buy from this seller again.

Can move more imagine, bring life not monotone, feel that life not only life, and hope dysney make more,more film like this.

GREAT PRICE,GOOD PRODUCT, FAST DELIVERY....PRODUCT WHAT DESCRIBED THE WAY IT WAS, WOULD BUY FROM THIS PERSON AGAIN....

Never recived this movie, or heard from the seller again. I tried to contact the seller but got no responce. Most of the things I have bought on e-bay have been very good. I mostly buy model trains, thats my ture hobby. The movies are for my children.

I love the music and the scenes, especially the Socerer's Apprentice and the Noah's Ark ones. My son loves it too.

Great DVD with timeless music and images. It was in excellent shape, as advertized. Will buy from this seller again.

This is Disney at its best! It's educational in its use of classical music, but blends it with a sort of cartoon-musical to keep the viewer's attention. Lets face it...a lot of people would otherwise never hear this music if it wasn't part of a cartoon. Disney is the best at combining fun and learning, and this is a great example of that technique.

even for a relative newbie like me, all suspicious and naive and dumb, this seller was so very willing to explain everything to me, and be completely above board and honest and helpful!

Thanks Ebayer A++++ PLUS +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
