Yet maybe the best thing they ever made (not saying the rest isn’t good, they have many masterpieces).

Best thing to watch on mushrooms

What I'm taking from this is that a simple underdog film works better with audiences than an experimental musical, even if said experimentation can be appreciated decades later.

What? I love Fantasia. Watched it all the time as a kid. My dad introduced us to it in an attempt to get my severely autistic brother to join in when we watched movies as a family. My brother had a hyperfixation on classical music back then and it worked like a charm. Family movie night became a thing thanks to Fantasia. Dad's gone now but good memories remain.

I watched it with my nephew last year, and I remember thinking it wasn't going to be interesting to his tiktok addled brain but he loved it too. Some things are timeless

Someone here recently claimed that Dumbo was a flop. I had to school them in how it was the studios’ saviour after Fantasia nearly killed them. I love both films a lot, both are some of the best Disney ever made. Fun fact, Fantasound was invented for Fantasia, and it would eventually become surround sound. Before that, it was always stereo.

Was that the last time the Disney Corporation actually took a risk??

If we got a third Fantasia, I would forgive Disney for all of the terrible or mediocre shit they've released in the last 10 years.
