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, it consists of eight animated segments set to 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 master of ceremonies and introduces each segment live. Disney chose the concept for the film in 1938, as he was nearing completion of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, originally an elaborate Silly Symphony-style cartoon designed to revive Mickey Mouse, whose popularity had declined. With production costs exceeding what the short could earn, Disney decided to include it in a feature-length film consisting of several segments set to classical pieces, with Stokowski and Taylor collaborating. 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 motion picture projected in stereo and a precursor to surround sound. Fantasia first toured 13 cities in the United States between 1940 and 1941; it premiered at the Broadway Theatre in New York City on November 13, 1940. Although critically acclaimed, the film was not profitable due to the interruption of distribution in the European market by World War II, the film’s high production costs, and the expense of building Fantasound equipment and renting theaters for traveling presentations. Since 1942, the film has been reissued several times by RKO Radio Pictures and Buena Vista Distribution, with original footage and sound deleted, altered, or restored in each version. After adjusting for inflation, Fantasia is the 23rd highest-grossing film of all time in the United States.
