MY THOUGHTS:

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.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a 2010 American fantasy adventure film that is based on the Johann Wolfgang von Goethe poem of the same name (also the Paul Dukas symphonic poem as well). It was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, directed by Jon Turteltaub, & stars Jay Baruchel (David "Dave" Stutler), Jake Cherry (Young Dave), and Nicolas Cage (Balthazar Blake). This film has been rated PG (MPAA/USA (certificate #46139) for fantasy action violence, some mild rude humor and brief language, PG (Canadian English), and G (Canadian French).

Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats

Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats is a 1998 made-for-television film version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical that is based on  T. S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. It was produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber (who, BTW, also did the music) & Gary Lucchesi, directed by David Mallet, & stars Bryn Walters (Macavity the Mystery Cat), Jacob Brent (Mr. Mistoffelees), Drew Varley (Mungojerrie), Jo Gibb (Rumpleteazer; spelled Rumpelteazer by T. S. Eliot), John Partridge (The Rum Tum Tugger), & Elaine Paige (Grizabella). This film hasn't really been rated, but I will tell you this: Macavity is THE scariest cat in the entire movie, so it would probably earn a PG rating! I would give this movie 100% of a star.
