Fantasia (1940) -- Co-directed with Walt Disney, James
Algar, Samuel Armstrong, Ford I. Beebe, Jim Handley, Albert Heath, T.
Hee, Graham Heid, Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske, Bianca Majolie, Bill Roberts, Paul Satterfield, Ben Sharpsteen, and Norman Wright. Probably the best thing Walt Disney
ever did, though you can't really compare this movie to the others, since it's
not really a traditional movie at all. There's something really magic about this
movie, and it's truly
"something else." Every segment (including some of the goofier
interstitials) are great (the one with the hippos is my least favorite, but I
still like it), but the standouts are the Nutcracker Suite with its lazy
imagery, the creation of the world and the dinosaurs, and the best of all, the
"Night On Bald Mountain." The Mickey one was good too. A movie way
ahead of its time, if it had been a success, you might have seen a more artistic
Disney for the next several decades. Unique. (See Eric
Goldberg for the sequel, Fantasia 2000.)
