I remember being blown away when first seeing this and Fantasia 2000. And to this day I still consider it a cinematic masterpiece.
Fantasia is hands down the greatest Disney movie ever made and no one will ever be able to convince me otherwise. It truly is a masterpiece. I absolutely adored it as a child and I still do as an adult. Night on Bald Mountain and Ave Maria have always been my favorite part. I'm not religious but everything about that segment is so emotional, powerful and beautiful.
Also, the Rite of Spring dinosaur segment was slow? Dude, I have little to no patience and/or attention span but even as a child I had absolutely no complaints about watching it all the way through lol. The way the visuals flawlessly matched the tone and coincided with the epic music is perfection. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions though.
Fantasia was incredibly special to me also.. I'm with you on the Rite of Spring section...
I was like 3 when I was first saw this movie, and throughout every single second I was completely mesmerized and captivated.
I think children can absorb this kind of art better than adults. When we grow up we have too many expectations, distractions, analytical/critical mindsets that keep us from getting lost in the journey.
Being 3 or 4, I was able to experience ALL of Fantasia. It was a journey that became part of my soul forever.
I understand why, but I prefer pinocchio.
Fantasia is by far the best Disney movie to have been made by Walt himself.
Thomas Huffman, not my personal favorite movie, but I agree with you.
I like jungle book and Peter Pan
I like Dumbo and Bambi.
Thomas Huffman correction. It the best Disney movie period
@@lisanettles2731 i like nearly all disney film (Except For The Crappy One) But The One That Stayed True On My Heart Are Fantasia And Frozen 2 .
One of my all time favourite films. Besides Spirited Away, the greatest accomplishment in animation history.
I LOVE this movie so much.
Same
I love that you love this movie!
Same here
Prepare yourselves. Emoji comes in 2 weeks.
*Animat getting the Seal of Garbage ready*
Yep, and I know for sure the movie will be a disaster at the box office, and the critics are going to pan it completely.
Kobe Marion I have a life thank you. Stop being needlessly cruel over a movie
Kobe Marion Still wrong to pick on any person who has more feelings than a movie ever will.
Joseph Albano I have already found the jr. novelization of The Emoji Movie a couple of weeks ago at Wallmart so, in theory you could already read how it ends.
This movie is special to me because my grandfather worked on it.
Your one of my favorite youtubers!
*irrelevant comment about Emoji Movie here*
Holly P irrelevant comment about a bad movie is as irrelevant as its reply, which is as irrelevant as it is redundant.
The version of Toccata and Feuge in this movie is the best one I've heard
I think the best part about Fantasia that there is something for everyone. Like, Rite of Springs is my least favourite segment, but other people love it and one can't deny the influence it had on later movies, most notable the land before time. I also noticed that I preferred different segments at different moments in my life until I finally settled on (predictably) Night on bald mountain as my fav.
It should be noted that the Rite of Spring Dinosaurs were scientifically accurate *for the time* that it was released. By today's knowledge, they are even more outdated than Jurassic Park.
Technically, there was one inaccuracy of which Walt himself was aware, the T-rex having three fingers instead of two. Walt knew that the T-rex only had two fingers but he added a third in order to enhance the horror look to the picture.
before I watched the video I knew animat was going to rate the movie 10/10
dum cow playz I give it 10/10 also.
yes
It Is His Favorite Movie
The greatest Animated film ever made.
This is actually my favourite Disney movie of all time.
Personally I never really noticed the pasing problems with Rite of Spring segment. Probably because it used to mesmerize me every time I watch it. That and Night on Bald Mountain never scared me like it did with other kids weird huh.
The opening of your video couldn't be more perfect! Great Job! 💯👍
I wish this movie got more credit. the animation and character designs are just astounding, and the music is phenomenal. My favorite segment it the right of spring, as the retro dinosaurs and just the evolution cycle in general is something I find very interesting to watch.
Its kinda funny that Animat is reviewing his favorite movie but in 2 weeks he's going to review soon to be one of his least favorite movies of all time.
hankmillenium2000 Wait you mean Micah of Renegades React aka Coffee Shop Jesus?
Landon Legate I thought he was already done with cloudy with a chance of this sucks.
Landon Legate The Emoji Movie will probably get a 4 so I highly doubt It.
Another great video from Animat
Knew the movie would get 10/10. As a kid I didn't get into it as much, and while it's not my favorite Disney movie, I love the music and the animation. Looking back on it, it truly is a masterpiece.
he should review the sequel
I have never been more excited for a review.
And that's saying something
Happy 80th anniversary Fantasia
Ayy this is gonna be good. Fantasia will definitely get a REALLY high score. Night on bald mountain always gives me goosebumps.
Also prepare for the Emoji Movie review.
best review ever, animat!
Thanks for reviewing one of my all time favorite movies!!
A 10/10 on Fantasia, 'I did not see that coming'!!
I love how you explained that you can acknowledge flaws in your favorite movie and yet still consider it your favorite. That is a great moral that everyone movie fan should take into consideration.
I don't know what the next movie's going to be.
Seriously one of the best Disney animated films...EVER!!!! It is just mind blowing and beautiful
Finally! I've been waiting for this review forever since I heard about it that he was going to do it. it's one of my favorite Disney movies of all time and it is back timeless I loved it as a kid and I still love it today. Night on Bald Mountain is one of the greatest animation pieces I have ever seen! 😍
I wish Disney would re-release films like this in theaters, like they used to before VCRs were commonplace. Something like Fantasia is really worth seeing on the big screen!
Wow, So glad you get to Review to your Favorite movie, although I Thought The Rite Of Spring Segment was pretty Awesome. I love this movie so much, and it would've been explain how you got your Critical Taste of animated movies.
It's not hard to understand why you love this movie so much. It's also one of my favorites.
And judging by the music and your description, it sound's like the next animated classic review will be Rock and Rule.This should be interesting considering that the thing people remember the most from this film is the villain, Mok Swagger. Then again I think the villain tournaments had a lot to do with that.
Wow! Yeah Fantasia! Hooray! Love it!
Benjamin Gavrin What? No way?!
if this was a concert with a crowd. I give it a standing ovations out of 10 instead a score because you know it's great out of everything.
this is just my favorite animated movie probably for all time
great it is yours too :)
animation is art and that makes me a disney fan
therefore i love disneys golden age where they show how much art animation is
This is one of my favorites too! :)
This film is so special to me its impossible to describe. Saw this when I was 3 or 4 and it became part of my soul.
Although the Rite of Spring segment is good, the only thing that scares me about it is THE EARTHQUAKE sequence at the very end. Everytime I look at it, it gives me fears and nightmares on this happening for reals. Seriously, I once had a nightmare of that as a teen after watching it several times. It almost traumatized me so much, that I always kept aware and make sure nothing threatening will happen to our planet.
8:12 PWN'd!
We must prepare ourselves, for the shitty nightmares The Emoji Movie and The Nut Job 2 are coming soon.

KoiTheBoi i was predicting before i saw spark that i was gonna dislike it and give it a 2/10 but when i finally saw it i was right about about how i wouldn't like it but however i was wrong about the rating i would give it i think it's bad but the biggest problems with the film is the generic story with an inconsistent concept with the first half about the whole "i want more adventures outside the planet" story then the second half drops that and the film turns into a pirate movie battle and characters that are very bland or one-dimentional characters. it has more of the same problems i have with rock dog and boss baby however the animation with spark makes it slightly worse than the two films i mentioned because as bad as those two films were the animation were atleast decent for the smooth movements, the energetic tone, the music montage and tims imagination with spark on the other hand the best thing i could say about it is Lord Zongs cloud effect in space but the positives end there. the movements are stiff and choppy and the backgrounds often look unfinished especially the parts where the main characters are on the planet full of trash and the part where spark distracts the guards to get into the castle
if 4 was subpar every 4/10 film wouldn't get the seal of garbage..
As far as i've seen, no animated movie this year's gonna get more than 5/10 from me.
I got to see the rerelease of the road show in the 90s and was enthralled
oh yee boy, Rock N Rule! and how fitting is it while we're on the subject of Music!!!! :D
I've recently seen it for the first time and oh boy, it is a beautiful movie. The segments are very well animated, with "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and "Rite of Spring" being my 2 favourites out of them all. Most importantly, the music is absolutely beautiful too, it's like watching a music concert at home, overall, while I don't think it's the best Disney film in my opinion, it is certainly the best one to be made by Walt Disney himself
I love Fantasia so much, so happy you got to talk about it!
Hmm, is Rock and Rule next? Not a good film but still very enjoyable in its own way.
Hell yeah Rock and Rule is next!
Yes! Rock & Rule is next!
Why don't Disney make them like this anymore?
"Why doesn't Disney make them like this anymore?" - Watch Zootopia.
Katie Lewis Yeah that era is timeless. My favourite is the Renaissance era!
Juan Strong Yeah Zootopia is a classic😉!
*doesn't*
Why with Zootopia? What about others?
My second favourite movie of all time and the movie that reignited my love for animation at age 13!
A GriffinTV What's your favorite Movie?
Toy Story
Best review of All time
By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes. In 2 weeks.
August 4 2017 will be the day when Animat will review the emoji movie and he will be at his computer crying
It's almost heartbreaking that he has to go from reviewing a beautiful animated film like Fantasia to a piece of 💩 Emoji Movie in the next two weeks soon. Pray for him people. He'll need it 😔🙏
5:02 Have to nitpick here, but the dinosaurs are not really scientifically accurate for the current age. The designs are strictly a product of their time with the knowledge that was available, but nothing I would fault the film for. However, some of these dinosaurs did not even live in the same era of Earth's history, so I don't think they bothered too much with the science when crafting this piece. =P
I have recently watched this film again on my VHS, and I still think it's one of the most breathtaking animated flicks I have ever watched. It's just like another certain CZcamsr once said: "It's like visiting an art museum, but with music and moving pictures.".
Some of the segments can also be seen as "predictions" of the future, like the scene with the fish in The Nutcracker Suite could have been an inspirational source for the animators/artists who worked on The Little Mermaid, the dinosaur shots in The Rite of Spring have also quite obviously been the same thing to the animators of Don Bluth's The Land Before Time, and the pegasi and unicorns of The Pastoral Symphony are what could have been the original inspiration for the MLP-franchise.
About what you said on The Rite of Spring segment, honestly, the only small problem I have with it is that it's not 100% scientifically accurate, but to be fair, that's also a nitpick, keeping in mind that this movie was made at the end of the 1930s, when scientists yet didn't know that certain dinosaurs lived in separate eras and a lot of dinosaurs weren't even discovered yet. It's still an awesome and exciting segment as a whole.
As a 5 year old though, I was always scared to watch this movie due to the Night on Bald Mountain part and the T-Rex of The Rite of Spring, but as I reached the age of 11, the movie has really grown on me in later years. To this day, it still holds a number 1 spot on my list of best animated films of all time.
It's really a shame though that a lot of people that I know in real life have never heard of this movie. All that come to their minds whenever they think of the best Disney film ever is either The Lion King or Frozen. I really must show 'em this masterpiece then if they want to argue.
Lastly, I'm glad I still have Fantasia on VHS (along with a few other Disney movies).
This was basically the Song Remains the Same before a Concert Film was a thing.
good news this my favourite movie ever.I like to watch again and again,there the real classic is all about the each segment there are very well made.
rite of spring segment are the shown the story of life on earth ,the dinosaur shown this segment are mix period,some of the dinosaur design are long before the modern dinosaur design ever to shown the movie screen,they are using the idea of there time want the dinosaur design such as kangaroo and lizard design.
Rock and Rule is next
I know some define a "masterpiece" as something flawless, but I don't really think that. I think "masterpiece" means "one of a kind", something that can only be accomplished by the people who made it, filled with things you wouldn't find elsewhere, even with its flaws. And "Fantasia" is FULL of masterful filmmaking!
ROCK AND RULE!!!
My Thoughts
Story - 9/10
Animation - 10/10
Characters - 9/10
Overall - 9/10
Going from that hint, I can tell that it's Rock & Rule as the next classic review.
The Right of Spring is the Second best part of Fantasia. Number one is Mickey, of course.
For me the best the Chernabog at the end, super menacing and then Ave Maria plays, such an amazing transition. Mickey comes in a close 2nd.
Strange, what is his next movie? Sounds like something I've never heard of.
You know something? If you replace the last 4 words of Fantasia. Put 4 and stic. You get Fant4stic! One of the biggest summer blockbuster failure of all time!
great

i love your in depth review i used to be scared of this movie due to chernabog the devil but now i kinda like it more thank you dragon505
If anyone's still wondering, I think the next one's Rock & Rule.
I saw Fantasia when I was less of ten, on VHS, and a couple of years ago, I watched it in Theatre, and oh my, the experience was totally different.
Rock and Rule or Heavy Metal coming soon to AniMat's Classic Reviews
I think it's Rock & Rule, given that he said it's A Goofy Movie + heavy metal
Hello! I enjoyed your review of my personal favorite Disney animated movie. I believe this movie personifies my preference of 2D hand drawn animation over CGI. Not that CGI is bad, but in my opinion, hand drawn animation appeals to me more like an "art" than CGI.
I prefer CGI over 2D
@JDCman894 CGI is better then 2D!!! CGI *IS* the art of animation!! 2D is old news!!
I agree with you on the Rite of Spring. It is kind of slow for me, but has some amazing parts in it. Though I wonder if you consider Zootopia better than Fantasia since you did give it the PERFECT score of 10, 10, 10, 10/10
BlazeHeartPanther Blaze he also did that with Toy Story 3, but then again, that was one of his first reviews ever
I knew this would get a 10/10 but I was expecting 10s from all 3 categories. That said, your reasoning makes perfect sense. It isn't for everyone and it is good to acknowledge the flaws even in your favorite movies.
once me & my sister were bored & so had a movie marathon (mostly disney).When we reached fantasia my sister fell asleep, when she woke up fantasia was still playing. fantasia's a loooong movie but something that everyone should watch though at least once it their lives
I'm really happy that people still care about this movie
I loved the "Rite of spring" sequence, it's a beautiful summary of our planet's prehistoric times
Gotta take a look at Fantasia 2000.
Rock n' Rule is the next classic review!!!
Maybe I'm biased because this is my 2nd favorite film of all time, but this is probably my favorite review of yours yet.
the one major thing that really bothers me about this film that there's nudity, racism, and violence in it but still a kids movie for all ages to enjoy.
He should review beauty and the beast
I think you just picked out Rock and Rule, which has a lot of well-known 80's singers performing the singing voices of the characters there.
I wish I come make animated film something beautiful and kinda like environmental theme and to show new generation filmmakers and audiences the true meaning of animation.
Fantasia is my second favourite movie of all time
and my favourite Disney movie of all time
8:13 PWN!
And again at 8:30 PWN!🦏💨
🐊
My favorite Disney movie is The Lion King, but this has gotta be a #1 tie in my list
it would be cool if many animators on youtube would try to make their own fantasia. I'm not talking about the animation meme where they use EDM music, edgy plot and the same movements in the animation.
If there is one thing I like better than classic songs, it is musical anthologies.
Forte: "The music helps..."
I can't help but agree with that! I like rating from worst to best all the shorts within an anthology, but this is more a case of rating from good to stellar instead.
7: Throughout these shorts, you may find yourselves asking how they came up with some of these concepts. I particularly felt that way when watching Dance of the Hours. Ostriches fighting over grapes, elephants blowing bubbles, and scoundrel crocodiles all ballet dancing with hippos to the rhythm. I am not as big a fan of the song and story as I am some of the others, but it is still an impressively creative short.
6: In a couple instances within the movie, the shorts come across as anthologies within anthologies since they consist of multiple songs with different moods. Such is the case for The Nutcracker Suite. Some of the more subtle songs have fish, faeries and mushrooms moving to the measures and some the more energetic songs include flowers and other faeries. While not as strong as some other character driven songs, I still love how perfectly they all are choreographed to them.
5: For how iconic Chernobog has become, it is strange to think that his theme song is this low. And again, that is against some stiff competition. Maybe it's just that it's what you would expect from the devil itself, but Night on Bald Mountain is still one of the darkest moments of Disney history. It introduced boys to nipples! That said, it is also undercut by the Ave Maria part which in my opinion kinda detracts from the darkness. But as finales go, it really does emphasize just how good an anthology this is.
4: Ironic that Rite of Spring, as in the month of life, is such an intense, deadly collection of songs. Even more so as it somehow perfectly fits the struggle for survival with dinosaurs. Really, the strangest part is just how ironic it is, to the point of starting with fire and ending with water. Which do you guys think is better? Land Before Time? Or this?
3: Greek mythology is one of my favorite story devices, and to hear and see it implemented in Fantasia's version of Pastoral is what really makes me enjoy it. While the myths weren't quite as glorious and peaceful as they were in this song, at least it portrayed Zeus somewhat accurately. And besides, not all adaptations have to be one to one with the source material. And with fun animation like that, I am ok with a cute Bacchus.
2: Toccata and Fugue in D Minor is a fantastic first impression, yet is by far the weirdest short. There are absolutely no characters, no story, just abstract animated art synched to the music. It is really gorgeous too. It is like the composer is also direction the animation. And also worth mentioning, there is more a variety of instruments for this rendition than the original, and is quite possibly my favorite as a result.
1: The Sorcerer's Apprentice is so iconic that it couldn't not be included in the 2000 version as well. And for good reason; the music is as magical as it is mischievous, Mickey is a perfect combination of both, and the animation is some of the best in Disney history.
best animated movie ever
It's weird how he calls this his favorite movie but had a lower score than both Zootopia and Toy Story 3.
I Have a Crossover Idea For a Dreamworks Version of Fantasia Trolls:The Nutcracker Suite The Croods:The Rite of Spring Madagascar:Dance of the Hours Shrek:Pines of Rome Kung Fu Panda: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
The Seal of Approval. Was there ever any doubt?
This is my favorite Disney movie.
So his next review is Rock and Rule.
I love this movie, too, AniMat! It's one of my favorite movies of all time!
I find it coincidental that you uploaded this while I'm at D23
Hey MegaSoulHero, can you say what they did show of Wreck-It Ralph 2?
Chill Player 123 They showed a very hilarious clip in which Ralph and Vanellope enter ohmydisney.com. Vanellope meets all of the Disney princesses. The original voice actresses of those princesses are reprising their roles. They even made an appearance at the panel.
My only nitpick is how inaccurate the dinosaurs are, But to be fair palaeontology was still new at the time and we didn't know much back then. Still love that segment
Well the Dinosaurs's tail never drags on the ground, recent evidence suggests that it's lifted in the air, the Stegosaurus didn't appear until the late Jurassic period, the Tyrannosaurus didn't arrive till the Cretaceous period, the Stegosaurus's spiked tail should have given the Tyrannosaurus a fatal wound that would of cripple it, and it's believed they may have had primitive feathers on their bodies. And those are just a few. But like I said before, that's my nitpick and this segment still holds a special place in my heart.
You just made Fantasia the most classical music of all time and now you're going to Rock and Rule a rock music
