English Summary:

Fantasia is a 1940 American animated film produced by Walt Disney and released by Walt Disney Productions, with story direction by Joe Grant and Dick Huemer and production supervision by Ben Sharpsteen. The third Disney animated feature film, it consists of eight animated segments set to pieces of classical music conducted by Leopold Stokowski, seven of which are performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Music critic and composer Deems Taylor acts as the film's Master of Ceremonies who introduces each segment in live action.

Disney settled on the film's concept in 1938 as work neared completion on The Sorcerer's Apprentice, originally an elaborate Silly Symphony cartoon designed as a comeback role for Mickey Mouse, who had declined in popularity. As production costs surpassed what the short could earn, Disney decided to include it in a feature-length film of multiple segments set to classical pieces with Stokowski and Taylor as collaborators. The soundtrack was recorded using multiple audio channels and reproduced with Fantasound, a pioneering sound system developed by Disney and RCA that made Fantasia the first commercial film shown in stereo and a precursor to surround sound.

Hungarian Summary:

Egy több részből álló komolyzenei előadás a Disney animátorok által rajzolt animációkkal. A zenét Leopold Stokowsky vezetésével a Philadelphia-i Zenekar adta elő. A "Varázsló Inasa" Mickey egeret mutatja be, mint egy törekvő mágus, aki túl lép saját határain. A "Tavasz Rítusa" az evolúciót mutatja be az egysejtűektől egész a dinoszauruszok kihalásáig. Az "Órák tánca" egy komikus balett struccok, vizilovak, elefántok és aligátorok előadásában. Az "Éjszaka a kopasz hegyen"-ben a fény és a sötétség erőinek közös mulatozása zajlik, melyet a felkelő Nap fénye szakít félbe.
