Saw Fantasia 2000 at the local IMAX last night. Animation was not as "edge of the art" as it could have been, but it was entertaining (unlike some of the music introductions by Steve Martin, etc.). They included Mickey's Sorcerer's Apprentice piece from the original (what, no dancing hippos?). New music pieces include Beethoven's 5th (probably the most abstract animation piece), Rhapsody in Blue, Carnival of the Animals, the 1919 Firebird, Shostakovich's Piano #2, and Pomp and Circumstance (first time I've heard a soprano singing the last bars). A safe bet as kids and adults will be entertained and anything that supports classical music listening can't be that bad.
The sound, while more natural and less painful than typical IMAX effects, still pales in comparison with a decent home high end system.
