The rest of these animated sequences depend on gimmickry, cuteness, or facile ideology.

It provides some fine artists the chance to stretch and frolic, even as it reminds today's audiences of animation's limitless borders.
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine
Fresh
As with the original Fantasia, the new film is a mixture of artistically respectable and mediocre moments, which for overall ambition and range, has no parallel in the world of contemporary animation.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Rotten
It's not that the images aren't pretty, or that great care hasn't gone into them -- it's that the sensibility behind them is so icky, limited in its conception of beauty to picture postcards and the sort of paintings you see in chain hotels.
Charles Taylor, Salon.com
Rotten
Whatever its flaws -- from kitschy cupids to racist centaurs -- at least the first Fantasia had a human touch. The sequel seems cold and mechanical by comparison.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
