When Walt Disney created Fantasia in the late 1930s, it was his plan to periodically update the animated feature film with classical music and state-of-the-art animation techniques. But a disappointing box office showing forced him to shelve those plans, until now. Under the auspices of Roy E. Disney, Walts nephew and vice-chairman of The Walt Disney Company, Walts dream will come true when Fantasia is reborn as Fantasia 2000.

Fantasia 2000- As good a book as the movie,
By Alex (Newton, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fantasia 2000 : Visions of Hope (Hardcover)
Fantasia 2000: Visions of Hope was an extremely good book. My entire family enjoyed looking at the photos. The book provides an extensive overview of every segment of the film.It helps you to understand the framework of each segment, and prepares you extremely well for the movie. The book even lets you in on hidden jokes in the movie such as where to spot Mickey and Minnie in "Pomp and Circumstance," or where to spot a hidden Nina in "Rhapsody in Blue". The book is a must have for fans of Fantasia 2000, fans of Disney, or even other people who just love these sorts of coffee table books.

Overjoyed,
By Gordon Hack (Brisbane, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fantasia 2000 : Visions of Hope (Hardcover)
I've been hanging out for this book for the last 6 months and I have definately not been disappointed. It is filled with tons of information on the making of this film plus excellent illustrations of the production process from initial ideas to finished production stills. The chapter on the Sorcerer's Apprentice contains some beautiful animation drawings that I had not seen in print anywhere before plus details on which animators worked on which part of the finished film. Overall an excellent addition to any animation fans library and a must for anyone who loves Fantasia.

This review is from: Fantasia 2000 : Visions of Hope (Hardcover)
Being an artist wanting for an animation career, I remember seeing Fantasia as the actual first Disney movie I was taken to. Now, like Fantasia inspired so many of us to become artists, Fantasia 2000 looks to bring even more people who want to dance act and draw their way onto the screen. This book is a masterpiece, giving detailed descriptions, beautiful conceptual and finshed art, as well as insight into Roy E Disney's plans for Fantasia 2000 and Conductor James Levine's joy in being a part of a tradition. The book has everything, from the abstaract beauty of Beethoven's 5th symphony, the Al Hirschfeld stylings of New York to Rhapsody in BLue, and even Shostakovich's Concerto no 2 to the works of the Steadfast Tin Soldier. If you see this film, or love the soundtrack, I recommend this book for you. who knows, the images may inspire your son, daughter, niece, nephew, etc. to take up an art career.
