Although magnificent and filled with imagination, Fantasia 2000 doesn't hold up as being particularly ground-breaking or innovative.

It provides some fine artists the chance to stretch and frolic, even as it reminds today's audiences of animation's limitless borders.

Whatever its flaws -- from kitschy cupids to racist centaurs -- at least the first Fantasia had a human touch. The sequel seems cold and mechanical by comparison.

Delightful, but may scare more sensitive kids.

balance in animation styles

The rest of these animated sequences depend on gimmickry, cuteness, or facile ideology.

This must be the most belated sequel the movies have produced.

Overall, though, I didn't find it particularly satisfying

A lightweight affair... Despite some momentary flashes of brilliance, this is no successor to the great Fantasia.

It's not that the images aren't pretty, or that great care hasn't gone into them -- it's that the sensibility behind them is so icky, limited in its conception of beauty to picture postcards and the sort of paintings you see in chain hotels.

A worthy successor to the original concept, allowing the next generation of animation talent to cut loose. [Blu-ray]
March 22, 2002
As with the original Fantasia, the new film is a mixture of artistically respectable and mediocre moments, which for overall ambition and range, has no parallel in the world of contemporary animation.
