WALT DISNEY’S FANTASIA - 1940, Walt Disney Productions, 126 min, Producer: Walt Disney

Walt Disney’s timeless masterpiece is a celebration of sight and sound, featuring eight sequences marrying classical music with the most innovative animation of its day. See dancing fairies, fish, flowers, mushrooms and leaves in the “Nutcracker Suite”; follow Mickey Mouse in his iconic role as “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”; laugh along with a comic ballet starring hippos, elephants, alligators and ostriches in “Dance of the Hours”; and hold on to your seat when the evil Chernabog summons restless souls in “Night on Bald Mountain.” Watch the music come to life, hear the pictures burst into song and experience the excitement that is Walt Disney’s Fantasia.

Conducted by the incomparable Leopold Stokowski, the Philadelphia Orchestra performs the musical score for what is today recognized as one of the most elaborate and lavishly produced animated feature films ever created. The New York Times proclaimed Fantasia to be “…a creation so thoroughly delightful and exciting in its novelty that one’s senses are captivated by it.”

The subject of two Academy Honorary Awards, Fantasia is featured in three lists that rank the greatest American films as determined by the American Film Institute, and in 1990 was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” Come see this remarkable marriage of music and animation in a historic theater which would have featured this film picture at the time of its 1940 debut.
