Various pointless animated sequences.

Oh my God it's so boring. If they had given any of the segments other than "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" a story of some sort, it could have been a great movie. Instead we've got two hours of Characterless Things dancing around.

Walt Disney's timeless masterpiece is an extravaganza of sight and sound! See the music come to life, hear the pictures burst into song and experience the excitement that is Fantasia over and over again.
