Fantasia

    One would be surprised to consider a movie with no spoken dialogue to be exciting. However, Fantasia is an exception, On May 20 and 21, the New York Philharmonic reintroduced their enthralling orchestra to the original animation and merged it with the 2000 version's animation.
     The orchestra seemed to reverberate the most when scenes were most meaningful, and seemed to be the jolliest at its most playful moments. For instance, there were segments of the movie when pastel colored centaurs frolicked across the screen and the orchestra successfully portrayed an emotion of impending doom with a loud slap of the drum, then the blaring horn of the trumpet, and predictably, a rain cloud surged across the screen.
      Fantasia is a movie whose music continues to introduce people of all ages to the basis of all music, instrumentals, The New York Philharmonic stimulates the imaginations of many with unexpected and drastic changes in volume in pieces like Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Bach, and The Rite of Spring by Beethoven with scenes so vibrant in color, that it simply amplified the music, and made it that much more meaningful.
      With a skilled orchestra, and feathery style of animation, Fantasia remains to be an emblem of creativity captured through sparkling screens.
