The Magic of Fantasia 2000

[@Bat-Georgi]

Rhapsody in Blue is a masterpiece. By far my fav segment.

Your re-use of that Stravinsky joke from the og Fantasia was masterful 😂 17:14

Kudos to the strange, beautiful brain of Neil Cicierega!

I don't get why you barely get likes, you deserve more likes!

For some reason, this movie reminds me of Bubble Guppies. Maybe it’s the imagery of some of the songs and the design of the dance stage reminds me of the space concert hall. Sun Beautiful Sun is the song that seems to have the most connections to Fantasia 2000 for me.

i think stravinsky would be very p[eased with the way the firebird segment is presented, its my favourite part of fantasia 2000

I definitely feel like Fantasia 2000 is nicely and ambitiously animated, but lacks the same sincerity and elegence as its predecessor, almost feeling like one of its many parodies over the years. I feel like this was prevailent in this era, where Disney were bringing back a lot of their old faces in sequels, like Bambi and Cinderella. Even the genuinely good ones you could tell were not made with the same artistic direction as the originals, Disney now made 'cartoons', they had a narrative and a frenetic pace. I like the Donald skit, but you could easily put any other piece of soundtrack over it. The live action introductions have a similar problem. I don't have a problem with the celebrities adding a bit more levity and warmth to the whole thing so it's not just dry and 'high brow only', even the original had a few jokes like Leopold meeting Mickey, but they could have cut down on the zaniness a bit to properly establish the music. A middle road between 2000's welcoming but unfocused demeanor and Deems Taylor's drier but earnest commentary basically. I don't mind the mix of animation crafts and styles however, even the CGI stuff, adds to the level of ambition. I'd love another Fantasia that had more of the first's earnest and music driven flow but the second's warmth and more diverse artistic selection. Oh, and add a Goofy segment this time round. XD

27:52 I have to disagree with Stravinsky about what the amount of listeners does for music. Many people learned to love classical music and learned to play thanks to a cartoon rabbit! Everyone starts somewhere, take Neopets as a more modern example. Lots of people with tech/web jobs got started by designing "pet pages" and "user lookups". The same happens with music and all art, without new blood, the art dies.

Fantasia 2000 is actually my favorite Disney movie of all time

[@williammorris89]

The original Fantasia was wonderful, but Fantasia 2000 was a huge disappointment. It assumes the audience has no attention span. For instance, as you say, just 2 minutes of "Carnival of the Animals," and those two minutes are in effect the "returning for bows" part of the piece.
