Fantasia 2000 and more midnite confessions of dubious cultural tastes

Look, I spelled midnight with ite. Not an auspicious start. It's a bit like showing up for a job interview with a large oversized white bow tie with red polka dots, then someone pulls on your sunflower boutonniere and it makes your pants fall down (actually your suspenders continue to hold a hoop around your waist but oddly your pants are attached to that hoop like a poorly designed chambray window curtain) only to reveal that your boxers match your ugly bowtie and your sock garters match your suspenders.

"William, I thought you were going to talk about the movies, why are you talking about the career services office at Clown College?"

That's clown UNIVERSITY, mind you. Why I got my Spatula of the Arts back in '96.

But seriously folks, I think I prefer Fantasia 2000 to the original Fantasia. Maybe its just that Dakota put fewer finger prints on the former, but I think that the newer movie is just more entertaining and has a better music selection.

"BLASHPHEMY! THE ORIGINAL FANTASIA HAS "PASTORAL""

Yeah, yeah. That, plainting yourself Blue and jumping over mushrooms in the backyard will get you a COLECOVISION.
F2K employes Donald Duck to recapture Elgar's most abused tune in the name of the "Major monotheistic religions of the world" friendly story of Noah and the Ark. I always liked Donald for the -mouthed beligerent sailor that he is. Some people like the mouse, but Mickey is too squeaky-clean (accent on the front). No, underneath that tangled mess of feathers and hostility, Donald Duck has a big heart.

That's why you gotta see "Fantasia 2000." Own it today on DVD.
