Though this does not top the original, it's on the same level for me. The original Fantasia ran at 2 hours long, while this runs at a mere 75 minutes, but it's a really breathtaking 75 minutes. It features all new animated sequences to Bethoveen's Fifth Symphony, The Pines of Rome, Rhapsody in Blue, Dmitri Shostakovich's Piano Concerto 2, Carnival of the Animals, Pomp and Circumstance and The Firebird, along with the original Fantasia animated sequence The Sorceror's Apprentice.
All in all, a wonderful experience, and a must see for anyone who loves the old "Fantasia", classical music, and/or animation at its finest! Oh, and wait until you see the "Firebird Suite" finale.... it will blow you away!
