It took over a decade, but that project became Fantasia 2000 and was released on IMAX screens on January 1st, 2000.
FLAMINGO DANCE FANTASIA YO YO MOVIE
In 1990, the movie was released for its 50th anniversary with some "politically correct" alterations made to some sequences (the Pastoral Symphony for example - more on this in the review), and it was also released on home video.Īround that same time, Roy Disney (the nephew of Walt) began to spearhead a project to continue Walt's dream of having Fantasia be a continuing project - to be updated with new pieces on an ongoing basis. The movie slowly began to catch on with audiences, and was re-released off and on for the next couple decades until in 1982 a new digital soundtrack was recorded (the first ever for a motion picture) and Deems Taylor's introductions were replaced with new ones by Hugh Douglas. Due to that, the movie was cut from the original 125 minutes down to 83 minutes and re-released later in the 1940's to more cities. Since it cost nearly $85,000 in pre-World War 2 dollars to outfit a theater to play the "Fantasound", there were only a couple places across the country where it could actually be shown. The film would later be re-named Fantasia, and would also be one of the first movies to ever be presented in full multi-track stereophonic sound (which Disney called "Fantasound").įantasia was released in 1940 to baffled critics and a very limited "road show" type engagement. Together with composer Leopold Stokowski, Disney made his "Concert Feature" by combining classical music with Disney Animation. In the 1940s, Walt Disney had the idea for a "Concert Feature".
