A masterpiece of the art of animation. The concept and some of the episodes are tainted with kitsch, but there's no other animated film with its scope and ambition—it is, in Otis Ferguson's words, “one of the strange and beautiful things that have happened in the world.”

Throughout Fantasia, Disney pushes the edges of the envelope.

This is a very patchy affair - while some of the animated pieces work, others come across as downright insane.
