Product description

Product Description

Ambitious animated epic from Disney studios, which includes sequences set to music by - amongst others - Bach, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Mussorgsky, Schubert and Beethoven. Also featured is the famous 'Sorcerer's Apprentice' routine, in which Mickey Mouse (voiced by Walt himself for the last time) creates magical mayhem when he tries to get his chores done with the aid of a spell or two.

Amazon.co.uk Review

Groundbreaking on several counts, not the least of which was an innovative use of animation and stereophonic sound, this ambitious Disney feature has lost nothing to time since its release in 1940. Classical music was interpreted by Disney animators, resulting in surreal fantasy and playful escapism. Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra provided the music for eight segments by the composers Tchaikovsky, Moussorgsky, Stravinsky, Beethoven, Ponchielli, Bach, Dukas, and Schubert. Not all the sequences were created equally, but a few are simply glorious, such as "Night on Bald Mountain", "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", and "The Nutcracker Suite". The animation ranges from subtly delicate to fiercely bold. The screen bursts with color and action as creatures transmute and convention is thrust aside. The painstaking detail and saturated hues are unique to this film, unmatched even by more advanced technology. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Disney is so much part of popular culture now that it's easy to forget how strange his world is (e.g., having little kitsch pink centaurs to represent the music of Beethoven's pastoral symphony, or weirdly eyelashed ostriches and 'Hyacinth Hippo' dancing to Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours - reminders of the extraordinary bathos of Disney sometimes). And his anthropomorphism is particularly potent: what is distinctive about his 'humanised' nature is that it always tends to be from a child's perspective - mischievous, cute, frustrated. In fact it's not really anthropomorphic but pedamorphic - in the form of a child. And a specific sort of child at that - both an idealised or stylised 1940s American kid, full of wants and "blind frustrated rages" (as Noël Coward memorably summed up Donald Duck's appeal), but also one growing up in a very maternalised world, one both curiously sexualised and sexless (coy). There's also a notable absence of fathers in Disney films: from Bambi and Dumbo to The Lion King and Toy Story, dads are either absent or killed off - here we have foals being brought up and going to sleep in largely single-unicorned families. I imagine that this may have something to do with Walt's own childhood (perhaps reflecting the "deep feelings of distance and distrust that he had for his father" according to biographer Marc Eliot), but it seems inadvertently to have had a profound influence on twentieth century children's culture, through the Disney ethos. Or perhaps his animations simply reflected these wider social dynamics and dissociated family dimensions.

Where Fantasia excels is in its ambition, forging a new status for animation in the early decades of the twentieth century. Whilst it received mixed critical reaction and failed to make a profit on its release, it established animation (and Disney animation in particular) as something of an art form: the vision of the demonic god Chernabog summoning the souls of the dead from their graves, to the music of Mussorgsky, is both terrifying and electrifying (and largely the work of the astonishing Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen), but there are touches of extraordinary technical and aesthetic brilliance throughout the film. Steamboat Willie seems a lifetime a way - or would do, were it not for the reappearance of MM here as the 'Sorcerer's Apprentice', showing Disney's occasional deftness at mixing high art (Goethe, Paul Dukas) with popular and comic lightness (and giving plenty of fodder for later critics on the look out for 'illuminati' symbolism in Disney's work). Disney was a fascinating and influential figure: for someone whose vision has extensively permeated the last eight or nine decades of culture, his work remains strangely unstudied and unexplored. That he aspired to having an enormous impact on culture, and in particular on the imagination of children, is evident - not only in the ground-breaking, hugely influential animations but also in the plethora of other extensions into popular culture that the Disney studios have reached out into - everything from films such as Mary Poppins and Pirates of the Caribbean to The Mickey Mouse Club (launching the careers of Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears), Disneyland and EPCOT. Fantasia is a useful glimpse into some of the big ideas that formed a major part of the early Disney ethos and 'world': the animation revolves around the core idea of "order and harmony being brought out of chaos", as the useful audio commentary by Brian Sibley (on this DVD) observes. "Order" is a crucial concern for Walt (hence his collaboration with the FBI, his distasteful involvement in the 'anti-communism' trials of the 1940s and so on), and it is everywhere here linked with his worship of "light", from the bathos of the Dance of the Hours sequence (where "the hours of darkness are overcome by the hours of light") to the the rays of the rising Sun which conclude the animation, and which will be an obvious symbolism in Disney's "illuminati" context. This easy 'light defeating darkness' ideology is pathological (an inability to engage with the complex contraries of life, and one that has had a baleful effect on children's culture in the twentieth-century, excepting Philip Pullman's wonderful and challenging confrontation of this religion), as is the narcissistic and infantile world of Walt Disney generally, but it is also part of his appeal: much of the charm and effect of cinema, and Disney animation in particular, resides simply in its use of light and colour in motion, and Fantasia is a wonderful playground for Disney and his animators to mesmerise and enthral us with their craftsmanship. If only Disney had gone down this track more - daringly and brilliantly bringing Stravinsky, Bach and Mussorgsky into mainstream cinemas and children's imaginations - instead of its subsequent series of rather lame Tinkerbells and charmless CGIs. Fantasia remains a beguiling testament to the potential of cinema, a breathtaking synaesthetic experience, and a landmark in animation and what was later to become music video.

A classic remastered, beautifully.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 December 2014
Verified Purchase
This is obviously remastered from the original and it truly is amazing.

I imagine there are very few who don't know what Fantasia is, but for those unlucky few, this is a series of animations written the as animators interpretations of pieces of classical music. Including amongst others works, Night on Bald Mountain, The Nutcracker Suite and The Sorcerers Apprentice.

The first thing that surprised me was the quality of the film. I used to own the DVD version and the difference is definitely noticeable. Before each piece the conductor gives a short introduction, the thing that surprised me was even though this is a 70+ year old film you could easily imagine it was only shot yesterday, there is no graining of the film, or if there is I couldn't notice it.

The animations are beautiful, bear in mind this was at a time when there was no computer imagery, every single frame was hand drawn and painted, it really helps you appreciate the work the animators put into this film.

The audio quality is cleaner and crisper, again improved over the past releases.

All round this is a beautiful release, and while perhaps not to everyone's taste, I think any home that is missing this film is missing out on a classic.
