Every One was a Hit (2000)

To the modern disney fan, the original fantasia could be described as hit and miss. For fantasia 2000, every single section succeeded in creating a powerful emotion to this troper, and not one was forgotten. It started well, choosing to show clips of the explanation from the first one instead of replacing it.

The Tocatta and Fuge in D Minor section was a nice opening, sticking to the abstract theme introduced in the original, get managed to create characters in the butterflies depicted that you could feel sad for.

The Pines of Rome segment was awe inspiring and definitively breathtaking, even if the audience likely found themselves wondering what they had just watched, even if it makes sense after half way.

The Rhapsody in Blue section was a hilarious, yet realistic depiction of every aspect of New York City rarely found in media in general.

The Steadfast Tin Soldier section was an exciting adventure, the villain seeming both comical and imposing while the relationship of the Soldier and the Ballerina appeared genuine.

The Carnival of the Animals was comical from the live action introduction to the final, side splitting payoff at the end. The sorcerers apprentice was good the first time around, and Mickey's conversation with the conductor from the original not only included, but elaborated on was very welcome and very funny.

Pomp and Circumstance was humorous with several witty jokes added (some becoming page images on this wiki), with a simple yet clever romance story arc included with Donald and Daisy.

The firebird suite was nostalgic of The Nutcracker Suite at the beginning, while also intensely terrifying with the firebird destroying everything and sad with the forest spirit in ashes. The placement of this number at the end, having a nightmarish creature attack, then goodness and life triumph, is reminiscent of the ending of the original.
