| Filmcritic.comChristopher Nullevery bit is weird, experimental, and vaguely inappropriate as you would expect. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeA reminder of a time not that long ago when movies seemed fresher, braver and just generally more exciting than they are now. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumIt's not only a hilarious send-up of Disney's excesses but a splendid cartoon feature in its own right -- funny and imaginative and lively. |
| CinePassionFernando F. CroceBozzetto's satire serves both Darwin and Genesis. |
| User ReviewKyle Vi think i got alot more out of this movie thanks to the fact i watched this while i was sick and drugged up on medication. Wow, that's all i can say about my experience watching this. If i was sober, the rating would be so much less....but since i wasn't the experience was how it was intended to be watched......and it was amazing. |
| User ReviewRocco MSimply genial, with many funny pieces, not similar to Fantasia: maybe a subtile parody... |
| User ReviewSusan MWhat a fun movie! It's vaguely similar to Fantasia, but more intelligent. It's a fun way to listen to classical music and watch animation from the 70s. I still have Ravel's Bolero running through my head. |
| User ReviewAlex YFantasia est bien bas comparé à cette expérience de dessin animé muet mélangé avec de la musique classique. Thèmes très forts, critique sociale plus poussé et humour burlesque !... |
| User ReviewSarah CThis is stark, colourful, beautiful, horrible, poignant, funny and simply the best fun. I watch it again and again and force everyone who stays over to watch it too. |
