Comments:

"Fantasia 2000" is the sequel to Disney's third classic animation "Fantasia". "Fantasia" is a classical music non-fiction film launched by Disney in 1940. As a plot cartoon, Walt Disney originally planned to re-release a new version of "Fantasia" every few years, adding or removing some paragraphs each time. However, due to many factors, this plan was not implemented. Until recent years, " The sequel to "Fantasia" has just been officially started. Just like Walt's original idea, the sequel retains some parts of the 1940 version and adds some new tracks.

However, after the film was completed, Disney conducted an internal test screening of the film, but the response was generally that it felt too long and too slow from the perspective of today's movies, and the film was too slow. There is an IMAX version. If an IMAX movie is too long, the audience may be dizzy and overwhelmed, so Disney decided to delete some old passages from the 1940 version and only keep the old version of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" ( The Sorcerer's Apprentice). As a result, the length of "Fantasia 2000" is only 75 minutes. Compared with the 124 minutes of "Fantasia" in 1940, it is really a terrible reduction!

However, Disney is considering the current market orientation. For a non-drama classical music animated film, this length may be a more acceptable length. However, this film is also the same as the old version. The main style is just to express the pure audio-visual enjoyment of the combination of pictures and music. Disney animation techniques have improved a lot in the past sixty years. In some passages of the film, Disney's latest animation in recent years is also used. Proud of computer animation technology. In addition, in terms of content, not only "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" starring Mickey Mouse is retained, but also a segment starring Donald Duck.

This film is also the first animated film produced using IMAX technology. The so-called "IMAX movie" is commonly known as a super-large-screen movie, which requires viewing in a theater with special equipment to see the effect.

Disney produced the film into a regular theater version and an IMAX version at the same time. The IMAX version was first released in the United States on January 1, 2000. It was only released in some theaters with special equipment, so it was not included in all theaters across the United States. It was not until March 20, 2000 that the ordinary version of "Fantasia 2000" was released in other general theaters in the United States.

"Fantasia 2000" uses the most advanced technology to integrate classic music and animation art, including seven new Disney animated musical film clips and a revisited "Fantasia" Classic piece "The Sorcerer's Apprentice". "Fantasia 2000" combines music and animation superbly. It was re-created by Disney's new generation animators according to the ups and downs of the melody. It is like a fairy tale of dreams and reality. It is also a wonderful audio-visual feast that takes you into This fantastic fantasy world!

When the works of Beethoven, Saint-Sa?ns, Gershwin and other music masters are heard in the ears, a series of dizzying stories unfold one after another, the dance of light and shadow of geometric shapes, the whales swimming around the sea, The naughty firebird, the toy soldier pursuing true love... Masterful classical music and Disney's classic animation complement each other and interweave into another Disney legend in "Fantasia 2000".
