Disney's Fantasia is a true marvel - beautiful and exciting to watch and brings back so many memories from childhood, Disneyland / Disneyworld, and the great Disney characters of old. Of course eBay has become the home for classic Disneyana and Disney DVDs - and Fantasia is an essentially addition to any DVD collection - children or not! Below are some great stats on Fantasia - if you're not already looking to buy, I'm sure you'll get a copy after reading this!
* FANTASIA is number 58 on the American Film Institute's list of America's 100 Greatest Movies.
* FANTASIA was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1990.
* The film won two special Academy Awards in 1941 for the "Advancement of the Use of Sound," and for the "Creation of a New Form of Visualized Music."
"...One of the landmarks of American animation, as well as a key document in the popularization of classical music..." New York Times - p.C4 - John Rockwell
I just couldn't see the point of the movie when I was a kid...
Whenever it was shown I would pass on it, except maybe to watch the Mickey Mouse sequence, Mickey Mouse in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" that is.
Most anthologies just don't get rave reviews, as a person may like one or two of the stories or sequences, but not all of them, so the book or movie is downgraded in reviews.
Additionally this film was se to lengthy classical music pieces, which doesn't go over so well the first time when watching/listening.
But now with DVDs, you can go back easily and rewatch the sequence to get a second chance to figure out what was going on!
Walt Disney took a chance on this film, it didn't pan out when first released, but now with this DVD you can get what he was trying to present a whole lot easier!!
I bought this dvd as my 4 year old daughter fell in love with it when we rented it from the library. I like it because of fact that both by children really enjoy it! The only thing I dislike it about it is that the dvd is kind of finicky about what type of dvd player it wants to play in! Only NEWER dvd players seem to play this dvd.
Good movie for classical music lovers!!! It gives children an opportunity to hear this great music and see the story unfold. The only thing I'm not completely happy about is that there a few scenes that are a little risque for younger children...the devil, lost souls, demons being thrown into the fiery depths below, naked female demons, YES I SAID NAKED!!! there was definitely some "nipple" and "breast" action going on...We got the unedited 60th anniversary edition and now I see why it was edited!!! but other than that, good movie...great colors, special effects, and yes, the music!!!
I decided to purchase this for our Disney DVD collection I just recently started. Seeing that it is in the vault and you cannot purchase it through Disney, I chose EBAY.
I've loved this movie ever since I first saw it. I had it on VHS, and was thrilled to find out it was on DVD. The seller was very polite and efficient.
This is an all time classic. For anyone who loves Disney, or classical music, this is one of the best. I for one, like the Sorcerers Apprentice the most. This movie combines the best of animation available at the time, and combines it with some of the most beautiful classical music of all time. I loved this movie as a child, and I love it still. Highly recommend this for the whole family.
This really is the perfect movie for the whole family. The colors, music, and animations are the best. Everyone should own this movie, no matter what age!
awesome patient seller!! promt shimpment.. great product.. exactly as described .. recommend 1000%% thanks dude!! sync fantasia up to siamese dream.. it's unbeleivable
I loved this when I was a kid, the music brings me back. Now I get to share this experience with my 3 year old son. He loves the classical music and has asked to dance with mommy! I love that it is on DVD because there are certain clips/chapters he prefers and very easily and quickly I can get to his favorites. It is lots of fun for both of us-Daddy too!
This has been my favorite animation since I was a child. I've watched it with my children, while they were growing up. And was thrilled to get it on DVD. Now I am able to enjoy with my grandchildren as they grow up.
I love this movie, always have so I thought my kids would as well. The seller was great, it took a while to get the DVD but it is in excellent condition and was well worth the $$
Fantasia is a beautifully crafted piece of art work. The disney artists took several pieces of classical music and animated them. Some of the pieces are thought-provoking and deeply meaningful, while some of the pieces are amusing and light-hearted. It is a significant piece of movie history that everyone should see at least once.
I have always loved Disney Classics growing up and this one of my favorites. Althought my Father has the VHS version Im a little more modern so I finally decided to break down and get the DVD version. Now I can share this classic Disney animation with my Daughter who is fasicnated with all the bright colors and sounds.
THE DVD WS AS ADVERTISED. I HAVE A LARGE DVD COLLECTION AND THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SHOWS. IT WAS SHIPPED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I GAVE THEM FAVORABLE FEED BACK, HOWEVER I HAVE AS YET TO RECIEVE ANY FROM THEM.
I never even got my movie that i paid for, I got screwed big time. I want my money back from the person that I bought it from. I wish that I left the person I bought Fantasia from feedback, to say how unhappy I am with the transaction. And that no one should ever buy from that person again. the seller is just to unreliable. So I am very angry with that person. I would like to punch the seller right in the face.
I would strongly recommend buying from this awesome seller. The item arrived in perfect mint condition, it was securely packaged when delivered, and the delivery was lightning fast.
A pure classic! My son is studying classical music and just thouroughly enjoyed this timeless materpeice. Of course, the music just can't be beat with the conglomeration of genius talent rolled up into a Disney Spectacular chain of entertaining events. This was highly enjoyed as it always is and was when I was entertained by it decades ago. Everyone should experience "Fantasia" at least one time or another in their lives.
