Fantasia
Animated classical showcase
Fantasia is Disney's landmark 1940 animated film that paired classical music with imaginative visual sequences.
The film introduced many viewers to works by Bach, Beethoven, and Stravinsky through scenes like Mickey Mouse as the Sorcerer's Apprentice.
We watched Fantasia on a school field trip. (Lowercase fantasia is a musical composition.)
