 A fantastic and captivating movie for all ages October 31, 2001
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The quick and at times slow pace of the music and animation grabs, and holds the attention of even very active children unlike anything I have ever seen. The vast array of emotions expressed and portrayed by the boy illustrates reality. It shows children that it is OK to not have "pink days" 24-7. The interactive games teach about the animation, music and instruments used in the production and promotes interest in these topics in all ages. The games also promote excellent observation and comprehension skills. It will be a family favorite.
 Unfortunate portrayal of the book August 4, 2001
3 out of 8 found this review helpful
Like other concerned parents, we own only a handful of videos for my daughter. I bought this one specifically because I think very highly of the book of the same name. I am a musician, and I was drawn to the use of a real (not synthesized) orchestra. The original classical music is wonderful! However, the animation and overall "look" of the video is quite disappointing. It bears no relation to the beautiful illustrations in the book (other than the colors!), and has a very "computerized" look to it. I find the face of the boy to be harsh and expressionless, and there is nothing about the animated characters that is warm or appealing. The art in the book is an integral part of its appeal, so it is unfortunate that the art in the video does not do it justice.
A children's video that a Parent can watch AND enjoy. March 18, 2001

My toddlers are rarely allowed to watch TV or videos. This video is one of the few that I have found to be entertaining and educational. The combination of classical music and poetry is just fabulous. I only wish more videos were of this caliber.
Educational, Artistic, Creative Video! February 20, 2001

RECOMMENDED FOR AGES 2 TO 102!Great video to watch with your kids over and over! Beautifully animated to keep kids interested! Teaches children of the arts -from animation/graphic arts, to classical music and the ability to express how they feel by way of color and the emotions and mood of the music. The Minnesota Orchestra performed this piece brilliantly. Instruments were introduced with each color and expressed boldly by drums or softly with violins. Involvement of the orchestra demonstrated clapping, stomping and smiles among the musicians. Narration by actress, Holly Hunter was a treat! She explains the way each color reflects a 'mood' or emotion from gloomy blacks, and browns to happy pink and sunny yellow. The compilation of this video is creative, intelligent, and fun! 'Fantasia' eat your heart out.
