Delightful, but may scare more sensitive kids.

A worthy successor to the original concept, allowing the next generation of animation talent to cut loose. [Blu-ray]

A lightweight affair... Despite some momentary flashes of brilliance, this is no successor to the great Fantasia.

Overall, though, I didn't find it particularly satisfying
March 22, 2002
As with the original Fantasia, the new film is a mixture of artistically respectable and mediocre moments, which for overall ambition and range, has no parallel in the world of contemporary animation.

balance in animation styles

It's not that the images aren't pretty, or that great care hasn't gone into them -- it's that the sensibility behind them is so icky, limited in its conception of beauty to picture postcards and the sort of paintings you see in chain hotels.

It provides some fine artists the chance to stretch and frolic, even as it reminds today's audiences of animation's limitless borders.
December 25, 2010
Although magnificent and filled with imagination, Fantasia 2000 doesn't hold up as being particularly ground-breaking or innovative.
January 26, 2006
This must be the most belated sequel the movies have produced.
March 21, 2001
Whatever its flaws -- from kitschy cupids to racist centaurs -- at least the first Fantasia had a human touch. The sequel seems cold and mechanical by comparison.
November 16, 2009
The rest of these animated sequences depend on gimmickry, cuteness, or facile ideology.
