This one features a bunch of flying, brightly colored triangles. I don’t have very many deep thoughts on this film, so instead I’m going to give my brief, not-very-deep thoughts on each individual segment. The only difference between this and the first seems to be the liberal blending of computer animation into the traditionally animated scenes, and perhaps a little less racism/sexism. Aside from loyalty to Walt’s legacy, I also found myself wondering whether this version brought enough new to the table to justify its creation. The film seems as if it was tailored to its IMAX release, with sweeping views of oceans and clouds and volcanoes, and I don’t think the small-screen (or even the “smaller” screen of regular theaters) can really do it justice. While I appreciate that this film allowed the studio to pick up on Walt Disney’s initial “vision” of releasing new segments for Fantasia every few years, it does seem like a bit of a folly to recreate one of the studio’s most perplexing features. At any rate, the first Fantasia was not a favorite of mine, and this one is pretty much more of the same. And although my research says it was released for general distribution 6 months later, I don’t remember it ever being at the “regular” theaters. I think I might have gone if I lived near to an IMAX when it was released, but I didn’t. This is one of the few Disney movies that came out in my lifetime that I had never seen before this project.
