Fantasia

85 Years

Fantasia is my personal favorite film of all time. I truly have no idea how Walt Disney thought it was a good idea to make a two hour animated movie mostly free of dialogue set to classical music, but I’m sure glad he did. I’ve had the joy of seeing Fantasia twice in theaters now, and even when I watch it at home I’m awestruck by its beauty and creativity in every single thing it attempts. If you asked me to only preserve one film from the history of Disney, I wouldn’t even blink in picking Fantasia. It is by far the most artistically ambitious film in its entire history, even 85 years later.
