Movie #197 - Fantasia / 2000

Fantasia / 2000
1999 - Rated G - 1 hr 14 min
Director: James Algar, Gaetan Brizzi, et al.
Starring: James Levine, Steve Martin, Leopold Stokowski, Bette Midler, James Earl Jones

This movie came in a two-pack with Fantasia, so now we own it.  I'd never seen it before, but it's more of the same.  Animated classical pieces, a bit more modern and a bit more enhanced.  They do include the Sorceror's Apprentice here as well, but it's the exact same version.  I guess this is only irritating if you watch both Fantasia movies back to back.

It's a nice tribute to the "revolutionary" idea of Leopold Stokowski and Walt Disney back in 1940, but I'm glad they're not making more of these.  It's a nice way to get kids to listen to classical music, though.  Ellie had a blast with these.
