Review Because of everything involved, the music, the effects, the animation, Fantasia, has to be at the pinnacle. It s a great package. It is really timeless, and it was made well enough to stand the test of time. --Diane Disney-Miller, eldest daughter of Walt Disney The Blu-ray picture for Fantasia was the most important thing for the studio to get right, and they passed with flying colors. It stands apart, it s so different, it s so unique. I think everyone at the studio knew they were on to something special and unique, but it was years later that it was looked at as a classic. --Walter Disney-Miller, Walt Disney s grandson Set Contains: This multi-disc set comes laden with extras, accessible through needlessly fussy menus. The most interesting of the extras is the short documentary "The Schultheis Notebook." Herman Schultheis was an artist-engineer-cameraman who worked at the Walt Disney Studio in the early '40s. During his free time, he kept a meticulous notebook on the experimental processes used to create effects in Fantasia, from the whirling galaxies in "The Rite of Spring" to the spinning snowflakes in "The Waltz of the Flowers." An interactive display of the notebook can be seen in the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco, and several animation historians (including this reviewer) discuss its significance. Fantasia 2000 offers Destino, the Walt Disney-Salvador Dali creation that took more than 50 years to complete, and an overproduced film about the making of it. The best of the supplemental pieces features artists Eric and Susan Goldberg and Al Hirschfeld discussing "Rhapsody in Blue," the film's most successful sequence. --Charles Solomon
