"Disney animators and filmmakers have again expanded the boundaries of imagination with Fantasia 2000. Fulfilling Walt Disney's original vision of uniquely fusing sight and sound in a full-length motion picture, this film begins where its predecessor, Fantasia left off, with seven completely new segments and the return of the popular 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice.' In this fun-filled movie, breathtaking images are coupled with classical music favorites. From Beethoven to Gershwin -- from flamingos bobbing yo-yos to a city in bluesy motion -- vivid animation brings the music of the masters to colorful life. Sixty years after the original masterpiece, Roy E. Disney has orchestrated a brilliant collaboration of more than 1,200 artists and technicians -- including the animators of The Lion King, Beauty And The Beast and Aladdin -- to present Fantasia 2000, a film filled with 'dazzling moments' (The New York Times) and 'arguably the greatest Disney film ever' (KNX-CBS Radio), that is sure to captivate viewers of all ages!"--Container.
