Disney animators and filmmakers have again expanded the boundaries of imagination with Fantasia 2000. Fulfilling Walt Disney's original vision of uniquely fusing sight and sound in a full-length motion picture, this film begins where its predecessor, Fantasia left off, with seven completely new segments and the return of the popular "The Sorcerer's Apprentice."

In this fun-filled movie, breathtaking images are coupled with classical music favorites. From Beethoven to Gershwin - from flamingos bobbing yo-yos to a city in bluesy motion - vivid animation brings the music of the masters to colorful life.

Sixty years after the original masterpiece, Roy E. Disney has orchestrated a brilliant collaboration of more than 1,200 artists and technicians - including the animators of The Lion King, Beauty And The Beast and Aladdin - to present Fantasia 2000, a film filled with "dazzling moments" (The New York Times) and arguably the greatest Disney film ever" (KNX-CBS Radio), that is sure to captivate viewers of all ages!
