The movie "Fantasia 2000" is a 1999 American animated film that serves as a sequel to Disney's 1940 classic "Fantasia". It is a collection of eight animated segments, each set to a different classical musical piece and conducted by James Levine.
The film opens with the orchestra tuning up, followed by a host (played by actor Steve Martin) welcoming the audience to the show. The first segment is called "Symphony No. 5" by Ludwig van Beethoven, featuring colorful, geometric shapes dancing and morphing into various creatures, such as butterflies and whales.
Next is "Pines of Rome" by Ottorino Respighi, in which a family of humpback whales swims through the ocean and fly through the air with the help of a magical comet. The third segment, "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin, tells the story of four New Yorkers in the 1930s who pursue their dreams in the bustling city.
"Concerto in C for Two Trumpets" by Antonio Vivaldi is the fourth segment, featuring a duel between two yoyo-ing flamingos over the affections of a lady flamingo. Following that is "The Carnival of the Animals, Finale" by Camille Saint-Saens, with a group of animals putting on a musical performance.
Next is "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" by Paul Dukas, which was also featured in the original "Fantasia". It tells the story of Mickey Mouse as the apprentice of a sorcerer, who creates chaos when he attempts to use his master's magic to do his chores for him.
The seventh segment is "Pomp and Circumstance – Marches 1, 2, 3 and 4" by Edward Elgar, featuring Donald Duck as a Noah’s Ark assistant who must shepherd a menagerie of animals aboard a giant ship. Lastly, "Firebird Suite – 1919 Version" by Igor Stravinsky features the powerful and mythical Firebird, bringing life back to a scorched forest.
In conclusion, "Fantasia 2000" is a beautifully animated and musically enchanting film that continues the legacy of the original "Fantasia". It combines classic compositions with vivid imagery to create a truly magical cinematic experience.
