Fantasia/2000 in 35mm
Fantasia/2000 in 35mm
Six decades after the release of the classic Fantasia (1940), Walt Disney Studios assembled a top team of visual artists to create a new assortment of animated vignettes inspired by classic works of music. Decades in development, Fantasia/2000 features an eclectic variety of music, including Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” Stravinski’s “Firebird Suite,” and Saint-Saëns’s “Carnival of the Animals,” with the majority of the film’s score performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the direction of James Levine. Seldom screened, this ambitious and visually dazzling effort is a worthy successor to the groundbreaking classic.
