Review: Fantasia is one of the time-honored classic Disney films.  Not only as a Disney film, but as an extraordinary feat of animation.

Now, Disney has released the original Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 in one blu-ray + DVD combo pack!  There is a blu-ray and a DVD of each of the two films.  One of the greatest treasures of this Fantasia release is the inclusion of the Disney animated short Destino.  Destino was a collaboration between Walt Disney and Salvador Dali from the 1940s.  Unfortunately, due to the financial constraints placed on the company by WWII, the production never finished.  In 1999 Roy Disney discovered some footage and the storyboards and worked to complete the short.  Now, you can own it for the first time!  And its absolutely stunning.  This alone is worth the cost of this set, but include the fact that two feats of animation, Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 are here in high-definition for the first time?!   There is no question that this is one of the best Disney releases in awhile!  The films both look stunning in high-definition, so pick this bonus feature-packed set up today!
