After re-watching it tonight, I remembered why Fantasia was my favorite animated movie of all time, for a number of reasons.

Every section of the film was shown as much attention to detail as possible, and it really shows. The beautiful textures and colors used bring life to the famous pieces. My personal favorite is “A Night On Bald Mountain,” but “The Rite of Spring” is one of the most original and involved works of animation I’ve seen. Not to …
