There are plenty of pieces out there - "Take Five," "Blue Train," "Take the A Train" - that would be highly digestible for the mainstream if presented through animated film.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739833215220853127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-66240612822582409312015-01-08T17:14:41.253-05:002015-01-08T17:14:41.253-05:00Commercially disappointing, yes.

There was an effort to put together a Fantasia 2006 but it didn't pan out, apart from a few individual segments that were released separately.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739833215220853127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-39480789257031806322015-01-08T17:11:04.600-05:002015-01-08T17:11:04.600-05:00I agree!I agree!The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739833215220853127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-35112961650611927042015-01-06T21:28:00.003-05:002015-01-06T21:28:00.003-05:00I don't think I've ever seen it!

I have a copy on VHS which is probably why I haven't watched it in so long. I doubt whether I'll ever update with a DVD copy. It's a great vehicle to introduce great music to those who might not otherwise pursue listening to it and the animation is pretty cool, but these days I'd rather just listen to the music.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-15101338931905917492015-01-06T16:35:16.521-05:002015-01-06T16:35:16.521-05:00This movie is wonderful and I haven't seen it ...This movie is wonderful and I haven't seen it in years, but "Russian Dance" is very memorable.Maurice Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338165486757095191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-38651127600526618612015-01-06T09:18:11.451-05:002015-01-06T09:18:11.451-05:00This is one of the Disney movies I haven't see...This is one of the Disney movies I haven't seen.
