The Fantasia Collection 幻想曲 DVD

Code : 987884862276

animated film produced by Walt Disney, and is the third film in the Disney animated features canon. Fantasia is an experiment in animation and music, consisting of classical music presented against the backdrop of animation and does not feature any dialogue. The music is recorded under the direction of Leopold Stokowski; seven of the eight pieces were performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Animated artwork of varying degrees of abstraction or literalism is used to illustrate or accompany the concert in various ways. The film also includes live-action segments featuring Stokowski, the orchestra, and American composer and music critic Deems Taylor, who serves as the host for the film. Besides its avant-garde qualities, Fantasia was notable for being the first major film released in stereophonic sound, using a process dubbed "Fantasound". Fantasia was originally released by Walt Disney Productions itself without then-distributor RKO Radio Pictures, and exhibited as a two-hour roadshow film with booked engagements. The film opened to mixed critical reaction and failed to generate a large commercial audience, which left Walt Disney in financial straits.[1][2] Fantasia was eventually picked up by RKO for release in 1941 and edited drastically to a running time of 81 minutes in 1942. Five subsequent rereleases of Fantasia between 1946 and 1977 restored various amounts of the deleted footage, with the most common version being the 1946 rerelease edit, which ran nine minutes shorter than the original 124 minute roadshow version. A 1982 reissue featured a newly recorded digital soundtrack conducted by composer Irwin Kostal, but was taken out of circulation in 1990 after a restored version of the original Stokowski-conducted soundtrack was prepared. The original version of Fantasia was never released again after 1941, and although some of the original audio elements no longer exist, a 2000 DVD release version attempted to restore as much of the original version of the film as possible. Fantasia, despite its initial commercial failure, is today considered a classic film. 幻想曲是華特迪士尼公司1940年拍摄的一部音乐动画片，这部影片主要由七部古典音乐组成，演奏的乐团是费城交响乐团，指挥是列奥波德·斯托科夫斯基。配合音乐的动画的内容有的是抽象性的图像，有的是故事性的。影片中还包括了乐团和斯托科夫斯基的实像图面。迪姆斯·泰勒在影片中充当主持人。
