Movie Name: Fantasia 2000 “An updated sequel that is stunning and approachable but Fantasia 2000 feels more like an homage than being creative like Fantasia.” SharpRatings: 7 - #Good I was hoping to see a #Fantasia film to be released every decade or so however it took almost 60 years for #Disney to create another Fantasia film, #Fantasia2000. The sequel is more or less an update on the previous movie. With newer technology in both animation, sound, and other technical departments. Disney sought to be very different. Hired comedians and big names like #JamesEarlJones, #SteveMartin, and #QuincyJones. The film was also cut down from a 2-hour long runtime to safer runtime we are used to for an animated movie even though Fantasia 2000 has one extra segment raising the count to 8. All segments are new and refreshing however one is exactly the same as the original Fantasia, Sorcerer’s Apprentice. My favorite would be #PinesOfRome and #PianoConvertoNo2AllegroOpus102. The stories aren’t really great here and not as exciting or interesting as the original film. I think they added human characters and that mostly took away the charm. The first Fantasia was not only original in its conception but also daring and experimental in its visuals and the stories told. Creativity was overflowing. That cannot be said about Fantasia 2000, although the contrary could be expected. This movie is more a good homage and revival of the first, than a daring experimental movie. This film has technological updates which make it more visually impressive than the original. The music was rousing as always. Overall, while this update is still a masterful achievement of sound in animation, it doesn't quite match the power of the first feature.
