Description of this Fantasia 1940 Poster
Fantasia is a 1940 American animated musical anthology film produced and released by Walt Disney Productions, with story direction by Joe Grant and Dick Huemer and production supervision by Walt Disney and Ben Sharpsteen. Disney's third animated feature film, it consists of eight animated segments set to pieces of classical music conducted by Leopold Stokowski, seven of which are performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Music critic and composer Deems Taylor serves as the film's emcee and introduces each segment live.
Disney settled on the film concept in 1938, as it was nearing completion of The Sorcerer's Apprentice, originally an elaborate Silly Symphony-style cartoon designed to enable Mickey Mouse, whose popularity had declined, to return to service. As production costs exceeded what the short could make, Disney decided to include it in a feature film consisting of several segments set to classic pieces, with Stokowski and Taylor as collaborators. The soundtrack was recorded using multiple audio channels and reproduced with Fantasound, a pioneering sound system developed by Disney and RCA that made Fantasia the first commercial film projected in stereo and a precursor to surround sound.
Fantasia was first toured to 13 cities in the United States between 1940 and 1941; the premiere took place at the Broadway Theater in New York on November 13, 1940. Although critically acclaimed, the film was unprofitable due to distribution in the European market being interrupted by World War II , high production costs of the film and expenses related to the construction of Fantasound equipment and the rental of rooms for traveling presentations. Since 1942, the film has been re-released several times by RKO Radio Pictures and Buena Vista Distribution, with the original footage and sound removed, altered, or restored in each release. After adjusting for inflation, Fantasia is the 23rd highest-grossing film of all time in the United States.
