This joy of a film takes its audience into a dream world filled with excite ment and adventure and accented by humor and clever story lines. The movie, like Disney's 1940 Fantasia, is a medley of separate stories placed one after another, creating a solid movie with smooth transitions. Disney's creative team developed seven new animat ed tales for this artistic epic. However, the film's biggest highlight was “The Sorcerer's Apprentice," starring a magical and curious Mickey Mouse, from the original Fantasia. No words are spoken by any of the characters in the film. Rather, the music of Beethoven and Gershwin and the sounds of brass, string and percussion serve as the script. Disney's concept of mixing imaginative visuals with classical and jazz music was a brilliant innovation in film- making in 1940 and works again today. In one tale, Donald Duck stars in a unique rendition of the biblical story of Noah's Arc. Another tale expresses the hues of the Northern Lights and the habits of imaginary flying whales. One highlight of Disney's latest achievement is its ability to hold onto a smart story throughout the entire film. Each animated tale is independent of the next, but all are equally clever. Directors of other cartoon movies, including the cre ators of Poketnon: The First Movie and Titan: A.E., often fail to create a strong storyline, and instead count on high- tech animation to draw in audiences. Pretty pictures do not equal quality filmmaking if the movie has a weak script. No other animated movie this year compares to the splendid art direction, amazing graphics and top-notch storytelling of Fantasia 2000. The original Fantasia was a mere prelude to this mod ern-day masterpiece. (Grade A+). Dewey Badeaux CHICKEN BUN Chicken Run Starring the voices of Mel Gibson, Julia Sawalha and Jane Horrocks Rated G Chicken Run, a full-length film featuring a coop of clay- mation chickens and their Nazi-like farmer captors, is an excellent spoof of emotionally charged prison dramas like Shawshank Redemption and The Great Escape. Tweedy's Egg Farm takes on a concentration-cami environment for its chicken prisoners, and ’numerous escapes led by ringleader Ginger (Sawalha) give thecaf tives their only hope to break free from the shackles prison life and into the greener grass of their dreams However, the freedom-minded fowl are continual: thwarted by the fence-patrolling Mr. Tweedy and Is ferocious guard dogs.
