  Unfortunately, I gave up and got a Disney+ account. Fortunately, I finally got to watch this and it was beautiful!

  Even though I will have things to say about the film, this will be more an anecdote than anything else, so if that's not your thing, I'd skip it.

  There is one thing I really hate and that is lazy parenting. More often than not I see adults around me who treat their children as a burden and just let them be. By that I mean that the option most often chosen when interacting with their children is that of disinterested consent. Just give them what they want, they'll shut up. These children often grow up thinking that this way of communication and treating each other is normal. Which it isn't, at least that's what I think.

  There is one…

  in a truly perfect economic system we would receive three (3) Fantasias for every one (1) movie that answers the question “What if there was a Tenet?”

  Gather 'round children, for there once was a time when Disney pushed boundaries and explored what the visual medium of animation could do.

  This is a 2 hour visual representation of how music makes you feel. It feels mostly like animators were allowed full freedom of expression, moving from abstract colors, to comprehendible storylines and back to abstract colors. I can't imagine what it was like to see this in theaters in 1940, only a few years after color film

  I think the Mickey Mouse-broom chapter of this is the best visual representation of anxiety I have ever seen. It makes me inexplicably stressed. In fact, this entire movie makes me so emotional.

  The orchestra parts seem quite dull and…

  Mickey Mouse: "Gee, thanks! Hehe! Well, so long! I'll be seeing ya!"

  SYNOPSIS: A collection of animated interpretations of great works of Western classical music.

  Fantasia was to be the crowning achievement of Walt Disney Studios, their magnum opus, a work of art that finally convinced the people that animated films could be more than "mere" children's entertainment. Unfortunately, it was too much too soon. People went in expecting children's entertainment - after all, that's what Disney was known for - and instead were treated to high art. Nothing wrong…

  “What you will see are different things that might pass through the mind if you sat in a concert hall listening to this music.”

  I love film music. It is part and parcel of my love of film generally, I suppose. But something about a well-constructed score is uniquely thrilling. The way the notes can compliment and heighten the imagery is a wonder to behold, not only in the moment but after the fact. I frequently find myself listening to film scores as background music (lyrics distract me with a compulsion to sing along unsuitable to many tasks, such as work or reading or walking down a sidewalk). And I find myself frequently carried away by the power of the…

  Always nice when Satan throws a party for those women out there who are perpetually entombed in fire, like myself.

  This almost felt like the “2001: A Space Odyssey” of animated films. I don’t know if others will agree on that, but it’s none the less a high compliment for the film. 

  Or should I say the other way around since Fantasia is an older movie than the latter.

  And I don’t mean they’re the same movies.
