A flock of colorful butterflies must meet a group of bats, a colony of blue whales begins to migrate to the stars, a New York construction worker dreams of becoming a jazz drummer, a little tin soldier falls in love with a ballerina, a pink flamingo. He discovers Yoyo, the wizard’s servant tries to get him a broom, the duck has to count the animals at the entrance to Noah’s Ark, the majestic creature gets a little closer to an apparently extinct volcano…
Infused with a masterful symphony of prestigious musical works, animation by Disney artists takes us on 8 unforgettable journeys.
Heir of fantasy
60 years after the original Fantasia, which aimed to combine the brushes of Disney artists with prestigious conductors, the enchanted studios decide to mix animation and classical music once again to offer a second part to one of their most famous films.
This new feature film, unfortunately quite often forgotten, still deserves your full attention.
Except that The Sorcerer’s Apprentice By Paul Ducasse, carried by Mickey himself and common to both fancies, these are the new musical monuments that Disney’s craftsmen struggle with at the dawn of the 2000s, we find new interpretations in this new show program 5th symphony by Beethoven, by Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin Carnival of animals by Camille Saint-Saëns or even A Piano concert by Dmitri Shostakovich.
Apotheosis of the movie
But the beautiful work of this live concert is without the slightest doubt the last to be visited again in splendor and majesty. Firebird by Igor Stravinsky. This roughly ten-minute segment, too little-known and exceptionally powerful, nevertheless holds its place among the most beautiful sequences in Disney history (and every word of that sentence counts).
At times overwhelming for the youngest viewers, this scene in any case offers Fantasia 2000 an echo of eternity and a sumptuous final note.
What will you like…
- The Noah’s Ark segment, simply because the duck responsible for getting the animals into the boat… is Donald!
- A very short and very funny segment Carnival of animalsIn which Yoyo comes to sow discord in a colony of pink flamingos.
What could be bothering them…
- Heavy witch The Sorcerer’s Apprentice And his evil gaze.
- A monstrous creature awakened by the heroine FirebirdAnd it causes cataclysms. But rest assured that he will not have the last word.
