The egotistical rift between Roy Disney and Michael Eisner is legendary. Led to some of the best, and semi-best, animated works of the late 80s and through the 90s. Yet Eisner let his ego get away with him, and refused to relinquish leadership of the company. Still, I love my Disney+ subscription, and use it to the hilt. Thanks for the animated history lesson Isaac, I learned a lot from you.

Fantasia 2000, it brings back oh so many memories... I especially love Pomp and Circumstance feat. Donald and Daisy. The ending always makes me cry.

[SirStephenSW]

Now I need to watch Fantasia 2000 again. I love, love this video, Isaac. It didn't even feel like 33 minutes. I'm definitely sharing this. Please do more in the future.

Thanks for giving Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 some love and attention. I really love these films because they enmesh the emotion of music and the exhilaration of visuals. I appreciate you, Isaac!

Fantasia is a classic! I want more Fantasia for Disney+!

[Alejandroigarabide]

Amazing!
Even tho it was a hated idea, I would still love to see that deleted crossover short with Donald using the sorcerer's hat to fight multiple villains trying to crash a wedding, specially with the highest possible animation quality that Fantasia is known for.

Fantasia, great movie with an awesome show at the Disney parks. Disneyland's Fantasmic for the win

[sketchnotes]

I love the Pomp and Circumstance segment, but nothing beats that Firebird Suite for me. That said, I love that there's a moment in Pomp and Circumstance where Donald sees a pair of actual ducks board the boat and looks utterly confused, lol.

I have seen almost 200 films in theatre over the decades and Fantasia 2000 is in the top ten for sure as a memorable and entertaining experience.

[RealBradMiller]

Claire De Lune and Swan Of Tuonela are masterpieces.
The latter made me cry so hard. It is on par with 'Jurassic Bark' episode of Futurama.

I love that art reigned because without it we would not have the beloved animation and stories in this production we enjoy today. I feel it is still innovative because I never seen anything like this today. Firebird will always be a wonderful classic story in my eyes. I will never get tired of seeing the beautiful green spirit that brought life at the end of the story. I would talk more about this, but it will become a speech that is the length of this video.

[RYMAN]

IMO, one of the most underrated Disney sequels ever.

[Coralinepiano]

Thank you for the wonderful video💗I was three years old the first time I watched fantasia 2000 and I fell in love with it right away. My favourite is The Firebird💗

I am a huge Fantasia fan. I've loved Fantasia ever since I was a little kid. Back then, Fantasia 2000 was the first Fantasia film I saw. Then by the age of 9, I tried out the 1940 Masterpiece that is Fantasia. For me, it's no contest. They're both beautifully animated and well composed. My favorite segment from Fantasia 2000 is The Firebird Suite and my favorite segment from the original is A Night On Bald Mountain/Ave Maria. Such glorious and beautiful pieces of music and wonderful animation!

[EChacon]

My favorite segments from Fantasia 2000 were Carnival of the Animals cause it has Flamingos and I love Flamingos, Pines of Rome, Pomp and Circumstance, Rhapsody in Blue and The Firebird Suite, I literally got emotional when hearing the score of Stravinsky's Firebird.

Could you do a video on Oliver & Company?

[johnalvinbelarmino]

Wow this is my first premiere to your channel

[MzNunyaBiznis]

Thanks for giving Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 some love and attention. I really love these films because they enmesh the emotion of music and the exhilaration of visuals. I appreciate you!

[miriamrosemary]

I'm a huge fan of the Fantasia films! Sadly I struggle to find anyone else who's even heard of them 😂
It was really interesting learning about the behind the scenes and history of them. Thanks for the video!

[fuzzyhair]

Firebird suite was just so beautiful I still cry watching it
