Is it my imagination or does nobody really talk about Fantasia 2000 anymore?I loved Disney's millennium-based follow-up to Walt Disney's 1940 crowning achievement. I found it to be a brilliant film, consistently beautiful and in many places awe-inspiring. But not unlike its predecessor, it seems it might take quite a number of years for it to receive the acclaim and appreciation it so richly deserves.
My favorite sequence by far is the Noah's Ark-inspired Pomp and Circumstance, a bittersweet comedy of errors that serves as Donald Duck's counterpoint to Mickey's iconic Sorcerer's Apprentice. And two particular scenes in the story showcase wonderful gags worthy of Freeze Frame status.
First there is Donald's momentary identity crisis when confronted with ducks of a slightly more realistic nature . . .
. . . and then the quick shot of a trio of mythical creatures mocking the proceedings.
Wonderful moments from a great, great movie.
