For (he young at heart. Fantasia is like a walk down memo
ry lane. With its brilliant images and classical music, one of
Disney’s greatest comes back to life after 50 years.
Re-released (again) this fall. Fantasia offers touched up
frames and a reconstructed soundtrack that are bound to
please most any viewer, young or old.
A mix of animation and music, this classic demonstrates a
level of creativity from Disney's animators that hasn't been
seen for quite some time.
Designed as an artistic exercise. Fantasia does what no oth
er film before or after has achieved. A group of animators
take the classics from the likes of Bach and Tchaikovsky and
make images from sound.
What makes this film fun. however, is the craftsmanship of
the animators, who give scrutiny to every detail.
Obviously, the animation in this film could never rival the
care and detail Disney first presented in Snow White, but
Fantasia is certainly better crafted than any of Disney's more
recent releases.
Unlike most films. Fantasia challenges both sight and
sound as each segment attempts to grab the viewers' imagi
nations and pull them in one direction. And for the most
part, this attempt is very successful.
Igor Stravinsky's ballet "Rite of Spring" transforms from
tribal dances into the story of Earth's beginnings, as the ani
mator guides viewers through eons of evolution.
While Stravinsky may never have imagined sucb an inter
pretation, the images are perfectly suited for this primitive
and forceful piece.
On the lighter side. Disney takes Amilcare Ponchielii's
"Dance of the Hours" and places dancing hippos, elephants
and alligators in the midst of a frivolous and romantic scene.
But the most dramatic segment is the ending, where Mod
est Mussorgsky's "A Night on Bald Mountain" features de
mons reveling in the night and is contrasted by Franz Shu
bert's angelic "Ave Maria."
