Description
Walt Disney took a big chance with this ambitious anthology of animated fantasies. First, he set them to lengthy classical music pieces, and then he boldly experimented with different forms of animation, sometimes jettisoning any sort of narrative altogether. The result is a sometimes mesmerizing, sometimes hilarious, sometimes frightening, but always beautiful moviegoing experience. A box-office failure when first released, it's now considered a timeless treasure. Highlights include: Mickey Mouse in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," the leaping hippos and alligators in "Dance of the Hours," the rise and fall of the dinosaurs set to Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring," the dancing mushrooms of Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite," and Mussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain," with its fearsome winged demon raging at the heavens. <BR>One of Walt Disney's ambitions for the project was to rerelease the film periodically over the years with new sequences. Though the film was regularly rereleased, it wasn't until 1999 that his intention was finally realized with the premiere of FANTASIA 2000, a lavish follow-up that included a digitally restored "Sorcerer's Apprentice" and a host of new material. The original FANTASIA, however, remains a one-of-a-kind auditory and visual experience that is still, in many ways, far ahead of its time.

  Fantasia - pirated?

I bought it for my grand-daughter, but was disappointed to find that the DVD supplied was almost certainly a pirate copy. I wish that E Bay would act in such cases.

Amazing what you discover on Ebay. You can buy a a conterfeited DVD, made by criminals, sold by criminals - and no one cares! Both Ebay and Paypal won't talk to you in person. Their contact proformas do not allow you to tell them it's a fake, or to register police numbers etc. They just keep telling you to send it back to the crinimal you bought it from. They even let them sell more goods on auction, to other suckers like you. Paypal have no systems to repay you unless you send it back to the crinimal and Ebay ask you to write a review of an illegal DVD! How cute.

Think buying on Ebay through Paypal protects you against fraud? Think again.

Oh, and it was a very bad fake!
