Fantasia 2000
Although a critical success, Walt Disney’s original [Fantasia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasia(1940film) was a box office flop when it was released in 1940. This killed Walt’s idea of releasing the movie every few years with new animated sequences replacing older ones with each release. However, in the decades since, Fantasia became one of the studios most beloved features. Roy E. Disney, the nephew of Walt, wanted to revive the concept of Fantasia, and using money from the company’s new home video endeavors, he funded the project that became Fantasia 2000. Unfortunately, history repeated itself and the move flopped. While it’s probably still a lesser film than the original, there’s still some beautiful animation on display that’s combined with some great music. “Pines of Rome” and ‘Rhapsody in Blue” are excellent and worth seeing, even if it means sitting through other less exciting sequences.
