Walt Disney and his animated films (1937 -1966)
Re: Walt Disney and his animated films (1937 -1966)
Is there a particular segment that you like in Fantasia? A friend of mine particularly likes Sorceror's Apprentice with Mickey Mouse.

I got to see Fantasia, and Fantasia 2 on an IMAX screen about 10? years ago. The ballet is still my favorite in #1, and the Rhapsody in Blue number in #2.

I like all of Fantasia Konway, but if I had to choose one segment I think it would be "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Gary Cooper- can you only post Twitter links? Personally, I'd prefer reading your opinion & impressions.
I only like Disney movies made while Walt was alive, the corporation seems to have lost it's way after that. I have caught up on the newer releases, but they don't seem to reach me as deeply as the Walt years.
I still haven't seen Beauty & The Beast '91 or Hunchback of Notre Dame '96.I particularly liked the use of color & textures in Frozen, but character & story development, meh.
Any time I watch BAMBI '42, the opening scenes of spring and consequent seasons is incredibly emotional to me-it's like a movie about the celebration of life. Even the song "Drip drop of the rain" that accompanies spring, is just beautiful. Of course, Bambi crying for his Mother is the worst part. But overall, I love this movie.
I also really love the simpler DUMBO '41 even though it contains another tear jerker "Mother" incident with equally great song "Baby Mine". But a succinct story with an important message.
Another favorite would also be Fantasia '40, but the Mickey* scene is my least favorite. I much prefer the Nutcracker segment, again nature but more abstract & fanciful. Nothing beats the Mushroom Dance. OK maybe the hippo ballerinas. What incredible imagination!
*I loathe the corporation so much, my life's a "Mickey Free Zone" with zero Disney purchases.

The Lion King (original animated version, not the recent CGI joke) is breathtakingly beautiful animation.
