Now we were sceptical. What we did remember wasn't great. However dear reader, we were convinced by many close to us that we were in for a treat. "Oh that's my favourite" and "I love that film" filled us with excitement. Maybe we were wrong about this one. Maybe we'd be unearthing a new favourite.
Every single one of the people that recommended it to us was wrong. We didn't even finish it. Despite the best will in the world to finish the film, it was just an absolute bore. With no real story and for the majority, not even an actual picture in front of you, it was impossible to get into and we found ourselves distracted and eager to finish.
The Sorcerers Apprentice, or as it should be called; Mickey and his dancing brooms, was a brief break from the insane monotony of the other 'stories' within this amalgamation of boredom but overall, it just lacked the Disney magic that we have become accustomed to. Even this classic scene became annoying with hindsight. Lazy bugger. Just do your job and carry the water yourself.
Now, I must say, there will be people out there that love classical music and enjoy a man waving a stick at a blue blob bouncing around a television screen but I can assure you that all of these people are wrong. The film is terrible. It may well have gone down well in the early 1940s but a young couple of 2016 were just not enthralled. If we wanted to watch some 1940s classical concert, we'd probably just live in 1940 now wouldn't we. Come on Fantasia, get with the times!
Three films in and we are yet to find one that is 'classic' or, to be totally honest, any good at all.
Next stop: Dumbo.
