Walt Disney's Fantasia is a 1940 American animated film & Walt Disney's 3rd animated film. It was produced by Walt Disney, written by Joe Grant & Dick Huemer, narrated by Deems Taylor, & stars Leopold Stokowski (Irwin Kostal does the 1982 digital re-recording) & the Philadelphia Orchestra. This film has been rated G (PCA #5920) USA, G Canada, although this should've been rated PG for scary images. I would give this movie 100% of a star.

I think that this is a great film because seeing what the music shows is excellent!

WALT DISNEY'S THOUGHTS:

Yes even Disney had his own thoughts about Fantasia. This is what he said;

Fantasia is timeless. It may run 10, 20, or 30 years. It may run after I'm gone. Fantasia is an idea in itself. I can never build another Fantasia. I can improve. I can elaborate. That's all.
