Fantasia 2000

1) You can see better animation in an off-the-shelf video game.

2) The Imax sound screeched painfully.

3) The butchered editing of the music? Could it have been intended as an insider joke, do you think? How else to explain Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony in three minutes, or ALL the Pomp and Circumstance marches reduced to one short serving of mush?

4) Leopold Stokowski (in the first Fantasia) had the profile and the physique for those dramatic backlit silhouette shots. James Levine, as ever a tad on the pudgy side, doesn't.
