Fantasia (1940) - Original Theatrical Trailer

[WizardOfHumor1989]

Through some 1930s-1940s technicolor film trailers, the technicolor shows blurry, crappy, poor dodged-and-burnt moving pictures, in which you can hardly see a thing and a color in most areas (almost like max fleischer's animated shorts). The trailer is in some way beautiful, but seeing the dinosaur part (w/ the crappy technicolor) of this trailer is SOOOO F(beeeeeeeep)ING TERRIFYING!!!

[Ashfangirl22]

Boy, this trailer gave way too much awayXD I loved this film though, the music and storys, wow! I have it on VHS as well.

[CCthebat]

This movie's a masterpiece!

[FulanoConPsicosis]

I had in VHS : D

[bogercs]

tales of fantasia!

[KriegDerSterne77]

I have heard, that a few seconds of the cut out centaurette SUNFLOWER are in this trailer, but sadly they are not :/

GREAT MOVIE!

[TheSara12525]

beautiful movie!

[Marbles471]

Don't let this trailer fool you, folks. Fantasia was a big disappointment at first. Lost a ton of money. And the distributor had such little faith in it that it played on the lower half of double bills. Ouch.

It wasn't really until the 1969 re-release that Fantasia finally gained widespread respect. Ironically, even though Walt Disney's faith in the movie was finally vindicated, he wouldn't have liked the reason why---the company decided to market it to hippies as the ultimate head trip.

This film, so far, has been sold better in stores than it's original theatrical box-office total, both in the USA, and, the rest of the world.

[MilknPopcorn]

Boasts it has the longest run in talking pictures at the time. Even though only the beggining has dialogue.

[WackdProductions]

Dear lord. Hate to say it, but after watching this trailer I can see why the film bombed. That has got to be the crappiest trailer I've ever seen. Love the film, though.

[bluethunder25]

@WackdProductions This was from the 1940's. Lots of trailers back then were crappy. Take a look at the original Cinderella theatrical trailer or the 101 dalmations one.

BEST FUCKING DISNEY FILM EVER!!!

[jzjess23]

i hope u all know that in the 1940 version they had a black girl with big lips and thats all racist catering to a pretty girl so they took it out and say she never existed.. -_- i want to see the old one now..

jess

[Ahturos]

It´s so sad that this film was a big fall for Disney when it was released! Apperentely the new thriling experience of fantastic music illustrating fantastic drawings and films was off becuse it was not really a film more like short storys that did´t hang togheter and did in total not tell a story like Disneys films earlier! People was disscust! But maybe allso this film was never like any movie Disney had ever made he was to early!

[Nsanity96]

@Ahturos Oh I'll tell you the reason the filmed bombed: HITLER!

[mnnmateo101]

this is one of the best movies of all time =D thank you for uploading this fablous trailer dude!!!

[spiritjd33]

Really great music and art combined as has been for many years

[CaptainConnorsaurus]

Just got a copy of this on VHS in great shape at my local flea market, and for only 3 bucks. That's like basically throwing it away. Who throws away something as classic as Fantasia?

[nicki446]

it's amazing to think that this film was made 70 years ago! so timeless and so classic.

[MargaretRomaoToigo]

i think fantasia has taken films like Aladdin Hercules The little Mermaid

Bambi Toy Story Beauty and the Beast Mulan Tarzan & The Lion King

[cutie912100]

Great Film Cheesy Trailer

[pixargod]

@cutie912100

This trailer was made in the 1940s, they did a lot of them like that back then.

[NeptunII]

And Mickey and his Magic Broom.

[iFroot]

The butterflies one always had me exited. The Mickey and brooms one made me happiii

The whale one made me cry

All of these were amazing

[thebigJM92]

My grandma had it on video. What beauty, what majesty! What a way to get young people interested in the music!

[92af]

i love Fantasia so much

[RyuichixCMZ]

Me too! Fantasia is probaby one of my favorite Disney films! I became obsessed with it back in May this year! :)

[92af]

anyway do you know what music it is from 0:00-0:50?

[RyuichixCMZ]

The Russian Dance from Peter (or Pyotr) Llylich Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite.

[92af]

thanks

[92af]

anyway today it is 69 years ago Fantasia was Released

[TheManny4511]

@92af yes!

russian dance from peter (or pyotr) llyich tchaikovsky's nutcracker suite.

and that's what the music is from 00:00-00:50

[looneywoman]

0:42 -- "The 'Dopey' of the Mushrooms." I'm sure that was an unintentional ha-ha, but it just looks funny now, especially after the psychedelic associations with the 1960s rerelease.

[xxtreehugerxx]

what is fantasia about?

[ziggyvs]

is a old movie from 1940

[xxtreehugerxx]

thanks!!!!

[TheManny4511]

@ziggyvs YES, BUT I HAVEN'T SAW IT YET.

I WAS GOING TO! BUT NO WORRIES!

[TheCGIMaster]

music...and thats it its just about music and im not sure about story :D

[xxtreehugerxx]

oh ok, well thanks anyways!!!

[BizzarreProductions]

For some reason, I still really like the asian mushrooms and the little guy who just can't keep up. They're so dang cute!

[centipeeds4always]

Where did you find this trailer?

[pinheadraiser]

on american "Deluxe CAV LaserDisc Edition" Box Set

[centipeeds4always]

Thanks

[cookieshopgirl]

it was ahead of it's time

[yvett91]

people should still make movies like that...I miss these beautiful movies.

[BPanther]

Amazing !!!!!!! Thank you for Posting ! This is one of my Favorite Movies !

[tiggercat500]

To be honest with you this movie wasn't great, it was just ok. They had way too much music, and why would they make a platnuim edition? Definitely not one of Disney's best.

[dsneybuf]

For one thing, it was the first American movie with surround sound.

[tiggercat500]

Yeah but don't u agree that it was too different, and had too much music.

[dsneybuf]

Since my favorite Pixar movie is "WALL-E", you shouldn't assume that I don't accept movies that are too different.

[tiggercat500]

What do u mean too diferent.

[dsneybuf]

You said it first!

[tiggercat500]

Huh, u mean fantasia was too different?

[dsneybuf]

YOU'RE the one who said "Fantasia" was too different! Not me! Why is that so damn hard for you to understand?!?

[tiggercat500]

I know it is too different.

[dsneybuf]

In response to earlier, some say "WALL-E" is too different because the first 40 minutes clearly have minimal dialogue. On a relevant note, I could give or take "Fantasia".

[MissKyr]

How can something have too much music? In my opinion there's no such thing as too much music..

[tiggercat500]

Uh all it has is straight music, and like no or hardley any talking.

[MissKyr]

Yes, but some people say the movie has to much music... And I think there is no such thing as too much music..

[brermeerkat]

I saw dinosaurs in 1:27.

[darthkurland]

Is this trailer going to be on a future DVD release of "Fantasia?"

[dsneybuf]

I assume it is, since it was on the 3-disc boxset of both "Fantasia" movies.
