Fantasia 2000
Walt Disney Pictures
Directed by Gaetan Brizzi
Rated G
Fantasia 2000 is pure animation bliss. 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+).

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. The escapes, particularly the tins
nel escape, are similar to classic prison-break filmssei!
as Stalag 17 and The Great Escape, right down to tin I ond-guessed. Wit!
underground system of improvised railways.
This movie's strength is not its spoofs, but its mel
drama. This is taken to the extreme because the chicket 1 soon become a rea
are not turning out enough eggs to suffice the ev
money-driven Tweedys, and Mrs. Tweedy turns theeglnocence. Yes, a coi
farm into chicken pie headquarters by purchasing tli I ready been found
chicken equivalent of a gas chamber.
Overcoming the evil Tweedys is the chickens' ill
mate mission as they fight against time before they ms
their fate as individually wrapped chicken pies.
Hope comes when Rocky Rooster (Gibson) flies ini
the coop and promises to teach the gullible hens hov
fly out of their fateful doom. Gibson plays his role aril
American hunk come to rescue the dapper English hi
to the hilt. Gibson and Sawalha play the lead roles,h
Babs (Horrocks) steals the show as the slapstick cob
relief character. Her "Three Stooges"-style antics playd
the melodrama to create a laugh-out-loud classic.
Chicken Run combines an ingenious storyline wit
enough wit and humor to entertain audiences of all age
