July 8, 2011I loved Fantasia but when I saw Fantasia 2000 on IMAX. Oh my gosh! What a great job. My favorites are The firebird suite, Rhapsody in Blue and Pines of Rome. Outstanding animation in all the three. Disney will never stop amazing you.

December 23, 2010Nothing will ever top the original Fantasia, but 2000 makes a very bold attempt and is not only a worthy continuation, but a great film in its own right. Tight, fast-paced and marvelously beautiful to behold, it should entertain audiences for years to come. My personal favorite... read more

August 5, 2010Once again classical music brought magically alive in Disney's sequel to the great Fantasia. While not as good as the original, does not fail to impress

July 10, 2007Fantasia 2000 was more enjoyable to watch than the original. They were smart to make it shorter and snappier.
Each piece was enjoyable. Some of the segments attempted to parallel some from the original.
"Beethoven's 5th Symphony" was a flutter of colorful abstract shapes wh... read more -

It provides some fine artists the chance to stretch and frolic, even as it reminds today's audiences of animation's limitless borders. Full Review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
As with the original Fantasia, the new film is a mixture of artistically respectable and mediocre moments, which for overall ambition and range, has no parallel in the world of contemporary animation. Full Review

It's not that the images aren't pretty, or that great care hasn't gone into them -- it's that the sensibility behind them is so icky, limited in its conception of beauty to picture postcards and the s... Full Review

Whatever its flaws -- from kitschy cupids to racist centaurs -- at least the first Fantasia had a human touch. The sequel seems cold and mechanical by comparison. Full Review

Sixty years after Walt Disney's animators first set cartoons to classical music, they've conjured up seven new sequences for Fantasia 2000. Judging from the often Mickey Mouse results, they may have b... Full Review

Compared to how visually and narratively imaginative Disney-released animated films have been in the 1990s, this one seems at a loss for purpose. Full Review

Jan Stuart, Newsday
For introducing children to the joys of classical music, the Warner Bros. Bugs Bunny cartoon shorts were far wittier and much less condescending.

Jessica Winter, Village Voice
Doesn't play like a celebration. In its sentimental yearning for a golden age when another one's upon us, it feels a little like a rebuke. Full Review

Where else can you see Perlman's hair in such stunning details, find Donald Duck as a major character in a Bible story and experience the distinctive mixture of comfort and grandeur that Disney excels... Full Review
