"Fantasia" is a 1940 Disney produced film. This movie is basically a collection of 8 different short animated "stories" that are set to classical music. The idea for this movie came when Walt Disney thought that the iconic character of Mickey Mouse needed a boost. So he made Mickey a character in a short story called The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Then they decided to add other stories with it and made "Fantasia". This is such an adorable movie and it is really interesting how it can grasp your attention even though it's classical music. I really loved all of the little stories but especially the iconic Mickey part. The music is fantastic and the clips are just adorable I saw this movie when I was young probably 8 or 9. I have no idea how this kind of movie kept me entertained at that age but now I consider it a classic children's movie. However, when I told my dad that this movie was on the classic list he said, "God that movie is boring!" I personally love it but everyone has their own opinions! It is a little boring now that I watch it and my attention span is much shorter, but it is such a nice movie! I am not quite sure why it is considered one of the top 100 movies but I think it is because this was such a different type of movie that really prospered. I am not going to write a summary for this movie because it is too complicated and it would require writing down the music and i can't read music notes. I am leaving a clip to the Mickey part so watch it if you would like!
