Fantasia 2000
Doc's Ranking: 23/51
Karo's Ranking: 28/49
A very hit and miss Fantasia sequel that, with two major exceptions, fails to live up to the original.
'Beethoven's 5th Symphony'
A scene featuring abstract butterfly-like creatures. The big attraction here is the music, with the very well known 'dun-dun-dun-DUNNNN' beginning.
'Pines of Rome'
Aka the 'flying whale' scene. A fairly good segment, certainly one of the most original.
'Rhapsody in Blue'
The second best segment here, one of only two that make this film worth watching. The scene is drawn in a retro style, and follows four different characters who are unhappy with their current lot in life, and ends with them all having their dreams fulfilled.
'The Steadfast Tin Soldier'
This is the big turd of the movie. Trashy CGI animation that is some of the worst ever done in a feature film has no business sullying the good name of Fantasia.
'The Carnival of the Animals'
Flamingos with yo-yos. You would think this would be automatically awesome, but sadly, this remains a quite mediocre segment.
'Pomp and Circumstance'
Aka 'Noah's Apprentice'. Donald helps Noah load his ark, and hilarity ensues. Sort of a homage to classic Donald Duck cartoons.
'Firebird Suite'
The original Fantasia saved the best segment for last, and 2000 is no different, as it finishes with a stunning scene where an anime-ish nature sprite clashes with a volcanic firebird spirit. This scene simply has the most beautiful animation you will ever see anywhere.
