Summary: 5 Stars
DvD was received in excellent condition and in a timely manner. Strongly recommend the seller. Tom WhelanDVD Review: Best approach to classical music?
Summary: 5 Stars
Some 60 years ago my father took me to see the original picture, that changed my perception of Music.
Since then, classical music has been one of my main interests, and also a help in difficult moments.
Disney was a visionary, and his idea of renewed music programmes in cinemas can be now a very positive help to improve the cultural level of any country.
DVD Review: BE PREPARED TO BE DISAPPOINTED!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
As a child, I grew up watching the "almost original" VHS copy of my favorite Disney film of all-time.
Since purchasing the DVD, I was thoroughly disappointed. The redubbing of Deems Taylor's dialogue was blasphemous, and I'm sure that it could be easily restored with the technology we have today. Also, another point of interest is the censored "Black Centaur" scene (talk about 'political correctness'). Hasn't anyone seen the recent "Donald Duck" and WWII cartoon shorts from the "Walt Disney Treasures" series? They can at least have someone come on before the movie to warn those who may be offended by an animated African-American caricature.
All I can say is I hope Disney will have the common sense to faithfully restore the entire "Roadshow" edition on DVD and Blu-Ray next year for their upcoming "Diamond" release in Fall 2010. Oh, I pray that the day will finally come!!!
DVD Review: Too bad it's not Blu-ray
Summary: 3 Stars
I had fond memories of Fantasia on the big screen years ago and wanted to own it when we bought a 60-inch high-definition plasma screen. The movie is still a wonder, but it is not high definition. It loses some of its pizazz because it is standard definition. I enjoyed it, but wish I had waited to see if it makes it to Blu-ray.
Description of Fantasia (Special 60th Anniversary Edition)
Groundbreaking on several counts, not the least of which was an innovative use of animation and stereophonic sound, this ambitious Disney feature has lost nothing to time since its release in 1940. Classical music was interpreted by Disney animators, resulting in surreal fantasy and playful escapism. Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra provided the music for eight segments by the composers Tchaikovsky, Moussorgsky, Stravinsky, Beethoven, Ponchielli, Bach, Dukas, and Schubert. Not all the sequences were created equally, but a few are simply glorious, such as "Night on Bald Mountain," "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," and "The Nutcracker Suite." The animation ranges from subtly delicate to fiercely bold. The screen bursts with color and action as creatures transmute and convention is thrust aside. The painstaking detail and saturated hues are unique to this film, unmatched even by more advanced technology. --Rochelle O'GormanFeature Films DVDs
