the music.
Since
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice was in the
original Fantasia, I will concentrate
on the new stuff. Donald and Daisy Duck were a fun and cute pair in their
version of Noah’s Ark. Again, there were lots of “sidekicks” in the movie
(flamingos, whales, a spring sprite, and an elk), but my favorites were the
ballerina and the tin soldier. Their story was romantic and sweet. There were
two villains in the movie: a firebird and a jack-in-the-box ... both creepy and
terrifying.
Like
the original, this movie is also big with its musical stars: Beethoven, Dukas,
Elgar, Gershwin, Respighi, Saint-Saens, Shostakovich, and Stravinsky. I think I
like Fantasia better, because, well,
it’s the original. But this one is a lot of fun with something for everyone. It
might do well in the bracket, just not as good as the original.
