“the animation was rather crude”

“Animation”. That must be why I never watched it; I don’t like animation. Another blessing of being childless is that I’ve never had to see an animated Disney movie.

Growing up, we weren’t allowed to go to movies, and when I was an adult I had choices.

On TV, I liked Rocky and Bullwinkle, though. :)

The older Disney animated movies such as the originals Snow White (1937), and Fantasia (1940) are, in my eyes, classics, animation at its best. In particular, Fantasia. It wasn’t a big success back then because what they did was take classical music and create animations to go along with the music.

60 years later, Disney’s studio did Fantasia 2000 and tried to re-create what they did in 1940.

If you like classical music- and even a little jazz (Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue in the 2000 version), I do recommend both.
