5. The Sorcerers Apprentice From Fantasia
Ill always remember Fantasia being something of an outsider to the other Disney films I loved growing up. While today theyre still cranking out hits in Wreck-It Ralph and Tangled, its close to a metaphysical certainty than anyone who grew up watching films has seen Bambi, presumably being every parents first dip into the sea of scarring your children intentionally. When youre used to lovable characters and Peter Pan flying around playing pranks on Captain Hook, an all-out animated collection of classical music seemed very overwhelming to me at a young age. I mean, did it happen to feature an appearance from the Devil himself as he summons evil spirits to the works of Mussorgsky and Schubert but a special Blu-ray release (as well as a little help from Father Time) really sharpens up what is a spectacularly visual film, perfectly matched to classic music. Comprised of eight short animated films to create a feature length outing, the most well known of these is where Mickey Mouse dons a magic hat and makes a broomstick come to life to help him fetch water down from a well to The Sorcerers Apprentice by Paul Dukas. If you havent checked out Fantasia, get ready for quite an experience.
