Update of the 1940 Disney milestone suffers from the fact that marrying music and images is no longer a novel idea; TV-style host intros don't help. But there are a number of entertaining segments, including "The Pines of Rome", "Rhapsody in Blue", "Pomp and Circumstance", and "Firebird Suite".

Rhapsody In Blue and The Firebird (and Sorceror, duh, which stuck out like a sore thumb) were the only ones I enjoyed. Carnival of the Animals and Pomp and Circumstance felt thoroughly uninspired, and the rest was lifeless CG. Could have done without the guest stars, although it's nice that most were actually musicians. As a whole the film seems cold and insincere, and mounting a production like this is certainly not the massive feat that Fantasia was sixty years earlier.

Some animation is just horrible, most doesn't work with the musical pieces. Rhapsody in Blue is the only bit I would consider watching again.

This had some good stuff in it, but overall it was a disappointment compared to the original. First of all, it was too short. Secondly, flying whales? Come on!

Misguided and dull.

Some of it is nice, but too many dull parts where the music alone would have been better.
