Review of Fantasia (2004) by Eric R — 31 Dec 2009
THE GOOD.
- Very different: I haven't seen any animated film that stretches the boundaries of imagination like this. It's like everything from your music appreciation class and everything from your art appreciation class got together and eloped.
- Favorite short? Nutcracker Suite. Gorgeously choreographed to the music, and ambitiously produced without any reference to the Nutcracker.
- Night of Bald Mountain stars a demon that has more presence in 5 minutes than most Disney villains have in an hour.
- Other favorites: The classic Sorcerer's Apprentice, Rites of Passage (definitely not Dinosaurs 2000!).
THE BAD.
- The only segments I didn't like were the dancing hippos and centaurs.
- Also didn't like the narrator. He gives away so much in his introductions, I mean, just let the movie play!
THE INTERESTING.
How this movie got a G rating is beyond me. You have nude teen centaurs, nude demon dancers, and T-Rex ripping the flesh off Stegosaurus' carcass. Definitely pushing the G envelope!
