Review of Fantasia

Fantasia (1940)
1/10
I think I am in the minority, but this is painful
30 May 2011
I know I will be called a troll, but I don't get this. Feel free to check out my other posts, I am not a troll and I apologize if people find me to be one.

I watched it because it was the only movie in the AFI top 100 I had not seen. Everyone I talked to about this told me it was terrible. I have never heard an actual person say anything good about this. I looked at the threads and really don't see anyone ripping the movie. I have never heard a negative review. So I had hopes as I have liked many movies my friends and family have hated.

I watched it thinking my friends and family were wrong, but I found them to be correct. I can't put in to context what was bad, except I just felt like it was nothing more than a series of meaningless cartoons meant for someone on heavy drugs.

The closest I can compare to anything I have ever seen is some psychedelic (spelling is wrong) hippee movies that I would never have forced my self to sit through. It was like a bad Pink Floyd album like Atom Heart Mother Suite, Saucerful of Secrets or Ummagumma or the Beatles song Revolution Number 9. Only this lasted 2 painful hours.

It seems to be pretentious tripe that everyone who is "anyone" has to say is good. But it seems average people hate it. I truly want to find an actual person who likes this so they can explain to me why.

Maybe I lack class. Always a possibility. Maybe I am not smart enough. Always a possibility.

Out of over 3200 movies ranked I have only given 10 other rankings of 1. I feel I am being unfair to the other 1's by giving this a 1. It is so much worse
