This movie is a worthy successor to the original Fantasia movie. The artwork in all the pieces was superb (although, you could tell the art from “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” is old). This movie, as with the original, gave me a greater appreciation of classical music, while entertaining me with impressive visual imagery.
The pieces are as follows:
Beethoven, Symphony #5. A classical piece of music (who can’t identify it upon hearing it?) portrayed as a good vs. evil contest.
Respighi, Pines of Rome. Flying whales!! A great piece of music which builds to a fantastic finish. Has some cute moments with a baby whale.
Gershwin, Rhapsody in Blue. Easily the best (and longest) piece in the movie. Done in the drawing style of Al Hirschfeld, a magical tale is told of four people in Depression-era New York. A heartwarming, moving piece.
Shostakovich, Piano Concerto # 2 Allegro Opus 102. A charming piece of music, used to tell the story of the Steadfast Tin Solder. Some of the scenes in this piece may be scary for little kids.
Saint-Saens, Carnival of the Animals, Finale. A (very) short, but very funny piece which answers the age old question: “What happens when you give a flamingo a yo-yo?” I was laughing out loud at this one.
Dukas, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. This is the same piece as from the original 1940 movie. Still worth watching after all these years.
Elgar, Pomp and Circumstance. Donald and Daisy Duck star in this reinactment of the story of Noah’s Ark. Fun to watch and enjoyable.
Stravinsky, Firebird Suite. A wonderful story about life, death and rebirth. The piece builds to a wonderful ending, both in the story and in the music. Some of the younger children may be scared by some of the scenes in this piece as well.
Overall, this movie is a wonderful addition to any home video library.
I was fortunate enough to see this at an IMAX theater. It was an amazing experience, to be surrounded by such wondrous music and imagery. The animation is of the highest quality, seamlessly blending modern and older styles. It will be interesting to see how the film plays out on a more intimate screen.
Although some of the pieces stand out more than others, they all had charm. ” The Pines of Rome” is the most popular segment, featuring lush computer animation of blue whales soaring through the arctic ice until they take off into the sky. Disney really did a job on this one, with just enough of a story to balance out the imagery. Clearly borrowing from the art of Charles Vess, “Firebird Suite” is a pretty fairy piece with a bit of fire and danger. “Rhapsody in Blue” is as close to perfect as you need to get, blending a great Gershwin tune with Al Hersfield’s familiar style. And of course, one can never get enough yo-yoing flamingos.
My personal favorite is “Pomp and Circumstance,” as it made me hear a piece of music, and not just the background track to graduation ceremonies. It really took me by surprise, and this is always a good thing. I also really enjoyed the participation of Donald Duck, who is usually my least favorite Disney character. It is a very heart warming segment.
