SYNOPSIS

The third animated feature released by Disney is still considered the studio’s most experimental work. In Fantasia, a series of eight vignettes set to classical music demonstrate the remarkable potential of feature film animation. The segments range from the lighthearted antics of Mickey Mouse in “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” to the sinister, epic imagery of “Night on Bald Mountain.” Experimental filmmaker Oskar Fischinger’s contributions to the film’s look and feel were tremendously significant, particularly his concept of a visual symphony. The film received two Special Awards from the Academy, both in recognition of its groundbreaking approach to the use of sound and music as a visualized form in motion pictures.
