Fearless mix of classical music and animation, the one movie to satisfy that oft-misused adjective ''unique.'' [01 Nov 1991, p.3D]
This is a bold work that seeks to educate its young audience about classical music. But it is also playful and delightfully imaginative.

Fantasia is a true masterpiece of animation and music that has stood the test of time. This groundbreaking film, released by Disney in 1940, is a visual and auditory feast that captures the imagination and transports the viewer to a world of magic and wonder. The film features a series of animated vignettes set to classical music, each one more mesmerizing than the last. From the playful antics of Mickey Mouse in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" to the sweeping grandeur of "The Rite of Spring," the animation is stunning and perfectly choreographed to the music. But what truly sets Fantasia apart is its use of sound. The film was one of the first to feature stereophonic sound, and the result is an immersive auditory experience that is simply breathtaking. The music comes alive in a way that is both thrilling and emotional, making the film a true feast for the senses. Even 80 years after its release, Fantasia remains a timeless masterpiece that has influenced generations of animators and musicians. It is a film that deserves to be seen and appreciated by all, and its impact on the world of animation and film is immeasurable. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and experience the magic of Fantasia for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

It is icon, uplift, art of the future, nostalgia, psychedelic journey, Americana, technological triumph, classic.
By Henry Allen FULL REVIEW
A masterpiece of the art of animation. The concept and some of the episodes are tainted with kitsch, but there's no other animated film with its scope and ambition—it is, in Otis Ferguson's words, “one of the strange and beautiful things that have happened in the world.”
Fantasia best can be described as a successful experiment to life the relationship from the plane of popular, mass entertainment to the higher strata of appeal to lovers of classical music.
By John C. Flinn Sr. FULL REVIEW
This is a very patchy affair - while some of the animated pieces work, others come across as downright insane.
