I loved Fantasia when I was a kid, and it was now time to share it with my grandchildren. I was satisfied with the price, quality and availability of this product, but, when my daughter first inserted the DVD into the player, she was disconcerted to find that the language of the speaker and the settings was Korean. She's a clever woman and she managed to fiddle with the controls to find how to switch both the spoken and subtitled portions to English, but there was no indication in the ad on Amazon that this would be necessary, and no instructions accompanying the item as to how to adjust the settings for language.

Great show, but I think that the marketing was unclear at the least, and possibly misleading. I am disappointed in the seller, whose response to my emailed comments was unsatisfactory to me.

Knowing the film is in Korean with the ability of English helped. I would have given it 5 stars except it is not that easy to get the english version up.
It takes a bit of trial and error and guessing the first few times then I wrote the instructions down.
Using the remote was easier than the buttons on my machine. The big problem is the first screen you get is all in Korean and you have to guess what the three choices are. I think it was the middle choice that got you to the language menu.
You have to reset it each time.
Other than that - it is fine.

I was so excited to share this movie with my son. It has great music, and wonderful animation to go along and to spark the imagination. How bitter was my disappointment when I opened the box to find the cover completely in Korean! My son opened the packaging before I could stop him, and so I put it in the DVD player and hoped against all odds it would be in English. I was sorely disappointed again. Luckily the majority of the movie is music and no dialogue, but it is always a blow when you are expecting one thing and get another. Just be warned this is not the English version, it is Korean.

Love Fantasia, after seeing it a zillion times in English, the Korean version is quite unique! It starts in Korean, and the menu is in Korean as well. Here's how to change it to English - go to the pop-up menu, select the third option, and then select the fourth option from that screen, and press play. That's English with English subtitles.

My father was expecting the English Version but it came in Spanish...other than that it is good

Our 25 years of marriage have always included this little mouse as our "mascot". This is my husband's favorite animation movie. The number of "firsts" done in this movie made history, and made moving forward in animation movie-making possible.
We have it in all of the forms it was made. This is truely another of Disney"S Top Hits. There is one in our bank safety deposit box, one in the RV, and two at the house. Only one of those is unwrapped.
The others are for the future!

I read the review by A2900 "A2900" and this is the only reason I purchased this dvd after reading the reviews. Yes, it is in Korean, but there is an option to change it to English speaking. I found a button on my remote that allows me to get to this menu, but another reviewer said to choose the third option and scroll down to the English language option, which I will try also. The seller absolutely should have given instructions on this, and thanks only to some of the reviewers, I am happy with my purchase and can listen to this movie in English.

Perhaps I wasn't careful enough in reviewing my purchase but the DVD was the Korean version. Don't remember seeing that explained on the internet before I purchased.

Most disappointed in the fact that it is not specified ANYWHERE in the item description that it is in Korean default!!!

Produced entirely by hand, with every frame hand painted, this film is a demonstration of Walt Disney's vision, and the skill and commitment of animators and artists long before the advent of computer generated animation.
Even if you don't like classical music or disney characters, this is a piece of history made available to everyone by virtue of digital technology. It should be part of every DVD collection.
