Fantasia - AniMat’s Classic Reviews

[@bellametallica]

Fantasia is hands down the greatest Disney movie ever made and no one will ever be able to convince me otherwise. It truly is a masterpiece. I absolutely adored it as a child and I still do as an adult. Night on Bald Mountain and Ave Maria have always been my favorite part. I'm not religious but everything about that segment is so emotional, powerful and beautiful. Also, the Rite of Spring dinosaur segment was slow? Dude, I have little to no patience and/or attention span but even as a child I had absolutely no complaints about watching it all the way through lol. The way the visuals flawlessly matched the tone and coincided with the epic music is perfection. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions though.

[@osirismaximus2787]

Fantasia was incredibly special to me also.. I'm with you on the Rite of Spring section... I was like 3 when I was first saw this movie, and throughout every single second I was completely mesmerized and captivated. I think children can absorb this kind of art better than adults. When we grow up we have too many expectations, distractions, analytical/critical mindsets that keep us from getting lost in the journey. Being 3 or 4, I was able to experience ALL of Fantasia. It was a journey that became part of my soul forever.

[@doraking6107]

I understand why, but I prefer pinocchio.

[@TenorCantusFirmus]

Oh, yes! In my opinion, it's 11/10. It's not even a movie to me, it trascends the boundary and becomes a practical essay about what can be done with the medium of animation.

[@thomashuffman3237]

Fantasia is by far the best Disney movie to have been made by Walt himself.

[@lisanettles2731]

Thomas Huffman, not my personal favorite movie, but I agree with you.

[@maxmantell5009]

I like jungle book and Peter Pan

[@lisanettles2731]

I like Dumbo and Bambi.

[@popcornpopulist7415]

Thomas Huffman correction. It the best Disney movie period

[@m.syauqiabdurahman2798]

@@lisanettles2731 i like nearly all disney film (Except For The Crappy One) But The One That Stayed True On My Heart Are Fantasia And Frozen 2 .

[@amirgarcia547]

I remember being blown away when first seeing this and Fantasia 2000. And to this day I still consider it a cinematic masterpiece.

[@thecinematicmind]

One of my all time favourite films. Besides Spirited Away, the greatest accomplishment in animation history.

[@SillyEwe]

This movie is special to me because my grandfather worked on it.

[@mrjamboree55]

Prepare yourselves. Emoji comes in 2 weeks.

[@joyunicycle]

*Animat getting the Seal of Garbage ready*

[@FanimationXV]

Yep, and I know for sure the movie will be a disaster at the box office, and the critics are going to pan it completely.

[@joyunicycle]

Kobe Marion I have a life thank you. Stop being needlessly cruel over a movie

[@joyunicycle]

Kobe Marion Still wrong to pick on any person who has more feelings than a movie ever will.

[@prfo5554]

Joseph Albano I have already found the jr. novelization of The Emoji Movie a couple of weeks ago at Wallmart so, in theory you could already read how it ends.

[@ludicolo15]

I LOVE this movie so much.

[@jazminsantos8448]

Same

[@osirismaximus2787]

I love that you love this movie!

[@LaneWinn]

Same here

[@TheNightmareRider]

It should be noted that the Rite of Spring Dinosaurs were scientifically accurate *for the time* that it was released. By today's knowledge, they are even more outdated than Jurassic Park.

[@brrgames]

Technically, there was one inaccuracy of which Walt himself was aware, the T-rex having three fingers instead of two. Walt knew that the T-rex only had two fingers but he added a third in order to enhance the horror look to the picture.

[@TrueBlueProd]

The version of Toccata and Feuge in this movie is the best one I've heard

[@aforethegod4669]

Your one of my favorite youtubers!

[@swanpride]

I think the best part about Fantasia that there is something for everyone. Like, Rite of Springs is my least favourite segment, but other people love it and one can't deny the influence it had on later movies, most notable the land before time. I also noticed that I preferred different segments at different moments in my life until I finally settled on (predictably) Night on bald mountain as my fav.

[@hollyp6434]

*irrelevant comment about Emoji Movie here*

[@CheshireCat-cm1si]

Holly P irrelevant comment about a bad movie is as irrelevant as its reply, which is as irrelevant as it is redundant.

[@Thetommyhappy]

it would be cool if many animators on youtube would try to make their own fantasia. I'm not talking about the animation meme where they use EDM music, edgy plot and the same movements in the animation.

[@CatHermit]

Personally I never really noticed the pasing problems with Rite of Spring segment. Probably because it used to mesmerize me every time I watch it. That and Night on Bald Mountain never scared me like it did with other kids weird huh.

[@nostalgiacow700]

before I watched the video I knew animat was going to rate the movie 10/10

[@amanogirl1]

dum cow playz I give it 10/10 also.

[@MrGabeanator]

yes

[@TeaSong1]

It Is His Favorite Movie

[@joyunicycle]

Knew the movie would get 10/10. As a kid I didn't get into it as much, and while it's not my favorite Disney movie, I love the music and the animation. Looking back on it, it truly is a masterpiece.

[@jswatch9270]

he should review the sequel

[@tristansojer4901]

Ayy this is gonna be good. Fantasia will definitely get a REALLY high score. Night on bald mountain always gives me goosebumps. Also prepare for the Emoji Movie review.

[@paladinjones1833]

I wish Disney would re-release films like this in theaters, like they used to before VCRs were commonplace. Something like Fantasia is really worth seeing on the big screen!

[@SomeHarbourBastard]

The greatest Animated film ever made.

[@captainmarvelwilson508]

This is actually my favourite Disney movie of all time.

[@CKprimeval07]

It's not hard to understand why you love this movie so much. It's also one of my favorites. And judging by the music and your description, it sound's like the next animated classic review will be Rock and Rule.This should be interesting considering that the thing people remember the most from this film is the villain, Mok Swagger. Then again I think the villain tournaments had a lot to do with that.

[@Landon11195]

Its kinda funny that Animat is reviewing his favorite movie but in 2 weeks he's going to review soon to be one of his least favorite movies of all time.

[@jamesmoyner7499]

hankmillenium2000 Wait you mean Micah of Renegades React aka Coffee Shop Jesus?

[@CheshireCat-cm1si]

Landon Legate I thought he was already done with cloudy with a chance of this sucks.

[@nario9718]

Landon Legate The Emoji Movie will probably get a 4 so I highly doubt It.

[@FanimationXV]

Although the Rite of Spring segment is good, the only thing that scares me about it is THE EARTHQUAKE sequence at the very end. Everytime I look at it, it gives me fears and nightmares on this happening for reals. Seriously, I once had a nightmare of that as a teen after watching it several times. It almost traumatized me so much, that I always kept aware and make sure nothing threatening will happen to our planet.

[@james-bk2wu]

Sean S I found a typo. Spark should be 2/10

[@Frieowksf1293]

My impressions on the upcoming animated movies: The Emoji Movie: BURN IN HELL!!!!! The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature: Never Cared about the first Leap!: Looks Interesting Animal Crackers: Looks bad, I would not see it The Lego Ninjago Movie: Looks promising My Little Pony: The Movie: I'm hyped The Star: I have no thoughts on it Coco: I'm hyped Ferdinand: Again, at least it's not another Ice Age sequel

[@Garyfan2001]

KoiTheBoi i was predicting before i saw spark that i was gonna dislike it and give it a 2/10 but when i finally saw it i was right about about how i wouldn't like it but however i was wrong about the rating i would give it i think it's bad but the biggest problems with the film is the generic story with an inconsistent concept with the first half about the whole "i want more adventures outside the planet" story then the second half drops that and the film turns into a pirate movie battle and characters that are very bland or one-dimentional characters. it has more of the same problems i have with rock dog and boss baby however the animation with spark makes it slightly worse than the two films i mentioned because as bad as those two films were the animation were atleast decent for the smooth movements, the energetic tone, the music montage and tims imagination with spark on the other hand the best thing i could say about it is Lord Zongs cloud effect in space but the positives end there. the movements are stiff and choppy and the backgrounds often look unfinished especially the parts where the main characters are on the planet full of trash and the part where spark distracts the guards to get into the castle

[@KingCarrot500]

if 4 was subpar every 4/10 film wouldn't get the seal of garbage..

[@dudufridak1145]

As far as i've seen, no animated movie this year's gonna get more than 5/10 from me.

[@jdcman8945]

Hello! I enjoyed your review of my personal favorite Disney animated movie. I believe this movie personifies my preference of 2D hand drawn animation over CGI. Not that CGI is bad, but in my opinion, hand drawn animation appeals to me more like an "art" than CGI.

[@mariajimenafigueroa8311]

I prefer CGI over 2D

[@mariajimenafigueroa8311]

@JDCman894 CGI is better then 2D!!! CGI *IS* the art of animation!! 2D is old news!!

[@freddyrichards878]

A 10/10 on Fantasia, 'I did not see that coming'!!

[@tupandactylushours6928]

I wish this movie got more credit. the animation and character designs are just astounding, and the music is phenomenal. My favorite segment it the right of spring, as the retro dinosaurs and just the evolution cycle in general is something I find very interesting to watch.

[@AaronMeerkat]

Wow, So glad you get to Review to your Favorite movie, although I Thought The Rite Of Spring Segment was pretty Awesome. I love this movie so much, and it would've been explain how you got your Critical Taste of animated movies.

[@undeadrocket101]

We must prepare ourselves, for the shitty nightmares The Emoji Movie and The Nut Job 2 are coming soon.

[@TheComputerNerd20100]

The opening of your video couldn't be more perfect! Great Job! 💯👍

[@kylgrv]

I love how you explained that you can acknowledge flaws in your favorite movie and yet still consider it your favorite. That is a great moral that everyone movie fan should take into consideration. I don't know what the next movie's going to be.

[@HarryThomasPictures]

Why don't Disney make them like this anymore?

[@juanstrong3695]

"Why doesn't Disney make them like this anymore?" - Watch Zootopia.

[@HarryThomasPictures]

[@elikurtz3602]

[@kaitlinlayla]

Why with Zootopia? What about others?

[@jackwilkinson4911]

I've recently seen it for the first time and oh boy, it is a beautiful movie. The segments are very well animated, with "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and "Rite of Spring" being my 2 favourites out of them all. Most importantly, the music is absolutely beautiful too, it's like watching a music concert at home, overall, while I don't think it's the best Disney film in my opinion, it is certainly the best one to be made by Walt Disney himself

[@eviesdrawings1312]

Seriously one of the best Disney animated films...EVER!!!! It is just mind blowing and beautiful

[@iammaybeabro4598]

[@alexismartinez8343]

Wow! Yeah Fantasia! Hooray! Love it!

[@alexismartinez8343]

Benjamin Gavrin What? No way?!

[@Frozen_Death_Knight]

5:02 Have to nitpick here, but the dinosaurs are not really scientifically accurate for the current age. The designs are strictly a product of their time with the knowledge that was available, but nothing I would fault the film for. However, some of these dinosaurs did not even live in the same era of Earth's history, so I don't think they bothered too much with the science when crafting this piece. =P

[@heroldofvortos178]

oh yee boy, Rock N Rule! and how fitting is it while we're on the subject of Music!!!! :D

[@alanoliva2020]

if this was a concert with a crowd. I give it a standing ovations out of 10 instead a score because you know it's great out of everything.

I have never been more excited for a review. And that's saying something

[@nikoproductions123]

This is one of my favorites too! :)

[@RealKyndleNance]

It's almost heartbreaking that he has to go from reviewing a beautiful animated film like Fantasia to a piece of 💩 Emoji Movie in the next two weeks soon. Pray for him people. He'll need it 😔🙏

[@jacobbelow4136]

I know some define a "masterpiece" as something flawless, but I don't really think that. I think "masterpiece" means "one of a kind", something that can only be accomplished by the people who made it, filled with things you wouldn't find elsewhere, even with its flaws. And "Fantasia" is FULL of masterful filmmaking!

[@PixarFan8695]

I have yet to check out this movie along with its sequel, "Fantasia 2000" on DVD. I also have an animated film wishlist for "AniMat's Classic Reviews", and here it is (with each film in order by year): - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937; Walt Disney Animation Studios) - The Brave Little Toaster (1987; The Kushner-Locke Company) - Beauty and the Beast (1992; Walt Disney Animation Studios) - Aladdin (1992; Walt Disney Animation Studios) - The Lion King (1994; Walt Disney Animation Studios) - Toy Story (1995; Pixar Animation Studios) - Mulan (1998; Walt Disney Animation Studios) - Toy Story 2 (1999; Pixar Animation Studios) - Fantasia 2000 (1999; Walt Disney Animation Studios) - Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins (2000; Pixar Animation Studios) - The Emperor's New Groove (2000; Walt Disney Animation Studios) - Shrek (2001; DreamWorks Animation) - Monsters, Inc. (2001; Pixar Animation Studios) - The Powerpuff Girls Movie (2002; Cartoon Network Studios) - Lilo and Stitch (2002; Walt Disney Animation Studios) - Piglet's Big Movie (2003; DisneyToon Studios) - Finding Nemo (2003; Pixar Animation Studios) - Home on the Range (2004; Walt Disney Animation Studios) - Shrek 2 (2004; DreamWorks Animation) - Shark Tale (2004; DreamWorks Animation) - The Incredibles (2004; Pixar Animation Studios) - Robots (2005; Blue Sky Studios) - Kronk's New Groove (2005; DisneyToon Studios) - Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006; Blue Sky Studios) - Cars (2006; Pixar Animation Studios) - Meet the Robinsons (2007; Walt Disney Animation Studios) - Ratatouille (2007; Pixar Animation Studios) - The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie (2008; Big Idea Entertainment) - Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008; Blue Sky Studios) - WALL-E (2008; Pixar Animation Studios) - Up (2009; Pixar Animation Studios) - Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009; Blue Sky Studios)

[@alexanderklepp]

I knew this would get a 10/10 but I was expecting 10s from all 3 categories. That said, your reasoning makes perfect sense. It isn't for everyone and it is good to acknowledge the flaws even in your favorite movies.

[@a.j.medialover]

I have recently watched this film again on my VHS, and I still think it's one of the most breathtaking animated flicks I have ever watched. It's just like another certain KZbinr once said: "It's like visiting an art museum, but with music and moving pictures.". Some of the segments can also be seen as "predictions" of the future, like the scene with the fish in The Nutcracker Suite could have been an inspirational source for the animators/artists who worked on The Little Mermaid, the dinosaur shots in The Rite of Spring have also quite obviously been the same thing to the animators of Don Bluth's The Land Before Time, and the pegasi and unicorns of The Pastoral Symphony are what could have been the original inspiration for the MLP-franchise. About what you said on The Rite of Spring segment, honestly, the only small problem I have with it is that it's not 100% scientifically accurate, but to be fair, that's also a nitpick, keeping in mind that this movie was made at the end of the 1930s, when scientists yet didn't know that certain dinosaurs lived in separate eras and a lot of dinosaurs weren't even discovered yet. It's still an awesome and exciting segment as a whole. As a 5 year old though, I was always scared to watch this movie due to the Night on Bald Mountain part and the T-Rex of The Rite of Spring, but as I reached the age of 11, the movie has really grown on me in later years. To this day, it still holds a number 1 spot on my list of best animated films of all time. It's really a shame though that a lot of people that I know in real life have never heard of this movie. All that come to their minds whenever they think of the best Disney film ever is either The Lion King or Frozen. I really must show 'em this masterpiece then if they want to argue. Lastly, I'm glad I still have Fantasia on VHS (along with a few other Disney movies).

[@brycevo]

The Right of Spring is the Second best part of Fantasia. Number one is Mickey, of course.

[@samy29987]

For me the best the Chernabog at the end, super menacing and then Ave Maria plays, such an amazing transition. Mickey comes in a close 2nd.

[@neilyoungboy]

if Disney ever decides to make a Fantasia 3 here is what I would like to see. At least half the segments must be in traditional animation. Revisit Sorcerers Apprentice and Rhapsody in Blue Pixar and Studio Ghibli should make their own segments. Alen Menken should be the MC.Other hosts to consider (for the other segments) would be Phill Collins, Randy Newman, Sting, and other notable actors from disney past and present musicals such as Susan Egan, Idina Menzel and James Earl jones again. Your thoughts?

[@BlazeHeartPanther]

I agree with you on the Rite of Spring. It is kind of slow for me, but has some amazing parts in it. Though I wonder if you consider Zootopia better than Fantasia since you did give it the PERFECT score of 10, 10, 10, 10/10

[@MrPollitogatito]

My Thoughts Story - 9/10 Animation - 10/10 Characters - 9/10 Overall - 9/10

[@JFtheLOLZOR]

It's weird how he calls this his favorite movie but had a lower score than both Zootopia and Toy Story 3.

[@flylesskyle]

Strange, what is his next movie? Sounds like something I've never heard of.

[@fcv4616]

I loved the "Rite of spring" sequence, it's a beautiful summary of our planet's prehistoric times

[@TheMormonSorceress]

My only nitpick is how inaccurate the dinosaurs are, But to be fair palaeontology was still new at the time and we didn't know much back then. Still love that segment. Edit: Well the Dinosaurs's tail never drags on the ground, recent evidence suggests that it's lifted in the air, the Stegosaurus didn't appear until the late Jurassic period, the Tyrannosaurus didn't arrive till the Cretaceous period, the Stegosaurus's spiked tail should have given the Tyrannosaurus a fatal wound that would of cripple it, and it's believed they may have had primitive feathers on their bodies. And those are just a few. But like I said before, that's my nitpick and this segment still holds a special place in my heart.

[@kirara2516]

Finally! I've been waiting for this review forever since I heard about it that he was going to do it. it's one of my favorite Disney movies of all time and it is back timeless I loved it as a kid and I still love it today.

rite of spring segment are the shown the story of life on earth ,the dinosaur shown this segment are mix period,some of the dinosaur design are long before the modern dinosaur design ever to shown the movie screen,they are using the idea of there time want the dinosaur design such as kangaroo and lizard design.

[@wynonnamareeuy]

[@Gwen1661]

He said it's a mix of 'A Goofy Movie' and Heavy Metal. The only animated feature I can think of with those characteristics is 'Rock & Rule', which would be AWESOME if that's the next Animat's Classic Reviews

Ro Saavedra It is.

[@MarioFreak]

Chill Player 123 Never heard of that movie before. But thanks for the help guys!

[@NovemberRose6]

+Mario Freak I suggest you watch it before the review. Watch the original Canadian version, since it's not censored like the American version. "Rock and Rule" is... trippy... in more ways than one. And I'm glad he's finally reviewing this one. I've been really wanting to hear his thoughts on this movie.

[@MarioFreak]

November Rose Nah. I'll just watch the review instead, but I appreciate the offer. But what's company is it made by, and what do you think of it? Good, bad, or anything else?

[@alexismartinez8343]

I wish I come make animated film something beautiful and kinda like environmental theme and to show new generation filmmakers and audiences the true meaning of animation.

[@WillieManga]

If there is one thing I like better than classic songs, it is musical anthologies. Forte: "The music helps..." I can't help but agree with that! I like rating from worst to best all the shorts within an anthology, but this is more a case of rating from good to stellar instead. 7: Throughout these shorts, you may find yourselves asking how they came up with some of these concepts. I particularly felt that way when watching Dance of the Hours. Ostriches fighting over grapes, elephants blowing bubbles, and scoundrel crocodiles all ballet dancing with hippos to the rhythm. I am not as big a fan of the song and story as I am some of the others, but it is still an impressively creative short. 6: In a couple instances within the movie, the shorts come across as anthologies within anthologies since they consist of multiple songs with different moods. Such is the case for The Nutcracker Suite. Some of the more subtle songs have fish, faeries and mushrooms moving to the measures and some the more energetic songs include flowers and other faeries. While not as strong as some other character driven songs, I still love how perfectly they all are choreographed to them. 5: For how iconic Chernobog has become, it is strange to think that his theme song is this low. And again, that is against some stiff competition. Maybe it's just that it's what you would expect from the devil itself, but Night on Bald Mountain is still one of the darkest moments of Disney history. It introduced boys to nipples! That said, it is also undercut by the Ave Maria part which in my opinion kinda detracts from the darkness. But as finales go, it really does emphasize just how good an anthology this is. 4: Ironic that Rite of Spring, as in the month of life, is such an intense, deadly collection of songs. Even more so as it somehow perfectly fits the struggle for survival with dinosaurs. Really, the strangest part is just how ironic it is, to the point of starting with fire and ending with water. Which do you guys think is better? Land Before Time? Or this? 3: Greek mythology is one of my favorite story devices, and to hear and see it implemented in Fantasia's version of Pastoral is what really makes me enjoy it. While the myths weren't quite as glorious and peaceful as they were in this song, at least it portrayed Zeus somewhat accurately. And besides, not all adaptations have to be one to one with the source material. And with fun animation like that, I am ok with a cute Bacchus. 2: Toccata and Fugue in D Minor is a fantastic first impression, yet is by far the weirdest short. There are absolutely no characters, no story, just abstract animated art synched to the music. It is really gorgeous too. It is like the composer is also direction the animation. And also worth mentioning, there is more a variety of instruments for this rendition than the original, and is quite possibly my favorite as a result. 1: The Sorcerer's Apprentice is so iconic that it couldn't not be included in the 2000 version as well. And for good reason; the music is as magical as it is mischievous, Mickey is a perfect combination of both, and the animation is some of the best in Disney history.

Animat, i would like you to review "Mulan 2". Please?

[@gerrymcgrory1221]

One of my biggest personal beliefs is that there is no such thing as a perfect/flawless movie, and there will never be. No matter how hard filmmakers try, they're not gonna get everything fully spot-on. Even with my favourite movies and video games of all time (for example: Zootopia, which we all know, AniMat gave that movie a perfect 10/10 from story to final verdict), there has to be something either minor or noticeable to criticize about them.

Still not sure how he gave zootopia a 10/10

[@kaitlinlayla]

I don't know either. I watched his review of it and I didn't understand it.

[@commonground2374]

I'm really happy that people still care about this movie

Fantasia starts Pinkie Pie: Well enough of that Hits the fast forward button Fluttershy: uh Pinkie what are you doing Pinkie Pie: I'm fast forwarding to the part where we come in Fluttershy: but you can't go out of order Hits the play button Pinkie Pie: oh contrare my dear Fluttershy I got the remote Fluttershy: but everyone's gonna get confused we gotta go back to the beginning of the story Hits the rewind button Pinkie Pie: We're not in the beginning of the story Hits the fast forward button Fluttershy: Yes we were the whole time Hits the rewind button Pinkie Pie: Yeah but they don't know that Hits the fast forward button Fluttershy: Then why don't we tell them our story Accidentally hits the pause button at Chernabog's face which makes both jump out of their seats Pinkie Pie: hey I got an idea why don't we tell them our story Fluttershy: ooh I like the sound of that Pinkie Pie: a little backstage tour take them behind the scenes for a revealing of the story within the story Fluttershy: because what they don't know is how we really were there even though they didn't know we were there you know Pinkie Pie: Couldn't have said it better myself Hits the rewind button Fluttershy: so does this mean we're going back to the beginning Pinkie Pie: oh no Fluttershy no we're going way back to before the beginning

Rock and Rule or Heavy Metal coming soon to AniMat's Classic Reviews

[@Gwen1661]

I think it's Rock & Rule, given that he said it's A Goofy Movie + heavy metal

[@georgeharvey4226]

Does anyone know what the next classic review will be? I have got literally no idea.

My Rating Story 9/10 Animation 10/10 Charecters 10/10 Overall 10/10 (Seal of Approval)

[@bullmonty764]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Stop thinking the Emoji Movie will get a 1/10 because it's more likely to get a 2/10

[@andrewalderson9768]

Rock and Rule is the Next AniMat Classic if you hear those words "Born to raise hell."

[@ellenmcgoran90]

The ad for this video was for the emoji movie God no.

Who do you think will win Zeus from Fantasia or Zeus from Hercules?

[@lukevankleef4245]

5:02 Well, yeah. Until it turns out they are actually giant chickens. God, I wish we never found that out.
