Connor Macgregor Reviews...Fantasia 2000
Fantasia is a classic no doubt about it , but what about the sequel Fantasia 2000 ? Well here is my review.
In this update of Disney's masterpiece film mixture of animation and music, new interpretations of great works of music are presented. It begins with an abstract battle of light and darkness set to the music of Beethoveen's Fifth Symphony. Then we see the adventures of a Humpback Whale calf and his pod set to "The Pines of Rome." Next is the humourous story of several lives in 1930's New York City, scored with "Rhapsody in Blue." Following is a musical telling of the fairy tale, "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" set to Dmitri Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 2. Then a goofy Flamingo causes havoc in his flock with his yo-yo to the tune of the finale of "Carnival of the Animals." This is followed by the classic sequence from the original film, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" starring Mickey Mouse and followed by "Pomp and Circumstance" starring Donald Duck as a harried assistant to Noah on his Ark...
Where Fantasia stands , Fantasia 2000 stands right next to it as a classic. And an underrated one at that. Symphony No 5 is a great way to start off the show. Pines Of Rome i think was an real beauty to watch on screen. It looked and sounded fantastic especially the end in which i was close to tears. Rhapsody in Blue was my clear favourite as it showed New York in a jazz sense. The Jazz really fit in with the new york animation as well as the characters. The Steadfast Tin Soldier was also beautiful to watch too. Great story and really well animated. I was surprised at how short Carnival Of The Animals was. It was great but i wish i could have extended longer. The Sorcerer's Apprentice was great to watch once again and Pomp & Cicumstance was also really great as well to watch.The Finale The Firebird Suite was amazing and wonderful to watch. Great finale and beautiful animation.
Overall , Fantasia & Fantasia 2000 stand as true classics for Disney. May many more Fantasias be on the way. Fantasia Reborn...nice ring to it.
