Fantasia 2000 – Special Edition
A semi-sequel to Disney's 1940 classic Fantasia which features the original film's most famous sequence – the Mickey Mouse adventure ‘The Sorcerer's Apprentice’ – plus seven other all-new animated interpretations of classical music.
Highlights include the interwoven stories of a group of 1930s New Yorkers accompanied by Gershwin's ‘Rhapsody in Blue’, the volcanic eruptions which illustrate Stravinsky's ‘Firebird Suite’, and the story of Noah, his ark, and his assistant Donald Duck, played out to the strains of Elgar's ‘Pomp and Circumstance’

- " While this update is still a masterful achievement of sound in animation, it doesn't quite match the power of the first feature. " – Mike Massie
