What they share

Both films are directed by Ben Sharpsteen, David Hand, Wilfred Jackson, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Animation / Family / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

playful

What Fantasia is

Disney here gives high art a try, setting music to animation. Leopold Stokowski conducts pieces by Bach, Tchaikovsky, Dukas, Stravinsky, Beethoven, Ponchielli, Mussorgsky and Schubert. It's ambitious, I'll give them that.
