FANTASIA
1940, Disney, 125 min, USA,
One of the greatest animated films ever made! What was intended as Mickey Mouse's comeback short grew in scope and ambition to become Walt Disney's third feature, a collection of eight segments introduced by music critic Deems Taylor and set to classical pieces conducted by Leopold Stokowski. Choreographed to the strains of Stravinsky, Beethoven, Ponchielli and others, FANTASIA's dancing mushrooms and hippos, Bald Mountain demons and sorcerer's apprentice are among the most iconic images in cinema history.

Screening format to be announced. | Ticket prices: $30 pre-sale; $40 after January 15. Proceeds benefit the Aero Theatre's programming and restoration fund. No vouchers accepted for this or any other specially-priced program. MEMBERS MAY PURCHASE ONLY 2 TICKETS PER MEMBERSHIP DURING THIS PREFERENTIAL WINDOW.
