Dream a Little Deeper: Episode 3 - Fantasia
This week, Alex goes through Fantasia’s production history, the distinctions between American and European animation styles, the sound design woes that plagued the film’s release, and Fantasia’s critical reception. Harrison enters full stan mode, but Alex has questions about why this, of all the Disney films, hits Harrison so hard. Our hosts also dig into the objectionable depictions of race in the Pastoral Symphony and Nutcracker Suite sequences. A lot of this is Harrison just gushing about how good this movie is on all fronts, and how inseparable it is from his feelings on Kingdom Hearts. Alex, however, is less enthusiastic and really concerned about whoever is running the fish animation department over at Disney.
