Buy the Original Release if possible - you will not be disappointed. Very far ahead of the time. He shows ways and means of implementing art. This Disney is so different from all of them that you wonder which way Walt wanted to go with it.

Even though Fantasia 2000 was an attempted reissue, Disney should continue this journey of movies. Art is created in the mind of the maker and the viewer!

Not a bad idea to combine the artists' ideas as cartoons with classical music. I am THRILLED! The steelbook in which this film is presented here is more worthy than any other packaging for this work. So many parents would go to the barricades today that Fantasia is quickly taken off the market.

A lot of skin for a children's transmitter. There is no cover (like in the photo), but I don't care, what I wanted was a numbered version and I got it! If you also take note of the year in which this work was created, this decision is very courageous.

Having had the opportunity to watch both DVD versions of one of first animated classics from Disney and as a former (now retired) member of Disney Management staff, it is strikingly obvious that the charm and production of how we (of a certain age) remember so fondly the animation, and it is somehow lost that in the newer Disney releases, albeit digitally remastered, with the loss of widescreen vision, the over emphasis of sharp lines, etc. Thankfully, that didn't happen. See attached photo.

Fantasia deserves its existence without question. Also unusual are the very courageous representations.

! Unlike the main photograph: - there is no cardboard jacket around the blue box (but I don't need one), - the edge bears the numbered white diamond (collectors will understand), - the corners of the box are rounded at the top and not at right angles.
