Fun Facts
The films premiere was held at Carnegie Hall in New York on December 15, 1999.
It was the first full length animated feature film to be shown in IMAX.
The soundtrack is provided by The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conducted by James Levine.
"Rhapsody in Blue" is the longest of the segments, at 12 minutes.
The rain seen in "Pomp and Circumstance" is the same that was used in the "Rites of Spring" sequence in the original Fantasia.
It was the fastest-grossing big-screen release ever, reaping $64.4 million during its four-month engagement.
In "Pomp and Circumstance," when the animals step out onto the deck after the rain stops, Mickey and Minnie can be seen standing on the roof.
Quotes
Bette Middler: Hi. You may not know this, but over the years the Disney artists have cooked up dozens of ideas for new Fantasia segments. Some made it to the big screen this time, but others - lots of others - how can I put this politely?... didn't.
Steve Martin: You know what's amazing is that many of these musicians are playing for the very first time. Thanks to Steve Martin's "Master Musician Home Study Course". More about that later.
