Review of Fantasia (2004) by Renzo V — 08 Sep 2014

This movie is a feast for the eyes and ears. Incredibly revolutionary, especially for its time (1940). Even if it was made today for the first time it would be original.

I can only begin to imagine the creative processes that went into making this movie. Just the idea of taking classical music and added surreal scenes to them would have required a large amount of imagination. Then choosing the music and creating scenes around it would have been an incredible task. Stumping up the funding for such a bold project would have taken a huge amount of daring too...

But, thankfully, the movie was made and the end result is wonderful. A beautiful, often sweet and humourous, sensory ride. (This coming from someone who doesn't know much about classical music, though doesn't mind it).

A work of art.
