Fantasia 2000 (1999)

Where Fantasia 2000 says it takes place, and where it was really shot.

Eight pieces of music, almost no real places: the only city on screen is 1930s New York, and nothing there was filmed on location.

Scenes and places

Butterflies against the bats (1999)

A flock of butterfly-like creatures, each a pair of fluttering triangular wings, drifts through a bright abstract world. Black polygonal creatures that resemble bats attack the flock. The world is thrown into darkness while the music builds.

Set in An abstract world of colour and darkness — A fantasy world with no place on Earth.

An invented abstract world; the film gives it no real-world place.

The flying whales (1999)

A family of humpback whales can fly. The calf is separated from his parents and becomes trapped in an iceberg after a flock of angry seagulls chases him. With his mother's help he finds his way out.

Set in Icy seas and the sky above the clouds — A fantasy sea and sky with no place on Earth.

An invented polar sea and cloud-top sky; the film gives it no real-world place.

1930s New York in Hirschfeld lines (1999)

Four New Yorkers each wish for a better life. Duke, a construction worker, dreams of becoming a jazz drummer, and Joe is an unemployed man who wishes for a job. Little Rachel wants time with her busy parents, and rich husband John longs for a simpler, more fun life; their stories cross without any of them knowing.

The one-legged tin soldier (1999)

Set in A toy room — A storybook toy room with no place on Earth.

A storybook setting based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale; no real-world place.

The flamingo with the yo-yo (1999)

A flock of flamingoes tries to force one slapstick member to join their routines. He would rather play with a yo-yo. The rest of the flock keeps trying to make him conform.

Set in The flamingos' stage — A cartoon stage with no place on Earth.

A cartoon stage; the film gives it no real-world place.

Mickey's borrowed magic (1999)

Mickey Mouse, apprentice to the sorcerer Yen Sid, tries some of his master's magic tricks before knowing how to control them. The segment is the only one that appears in both Fantasia and Fantasia 2000.

A wizard's workshop based on Goethe's 1797 poem; no real-world place.

Donald and the Ark (1999)

Donald Duck, Noah's assistant, is sent to gather the animals to the Ark. In the process he misses, loses, and reunites with Daisy, his loving partner.

Set in Noah's Ark — A Bible story with no fixed place in this film.

Based on the story of Noah's Ark in the Book of Genesis; the film gives it no real-world place.

The Sprite and the volcano (1999)

A sprite is woken by her companion, an elk. She accidentally wakes a fiery spirit of destruction in a nearby volcano, which destroys the forest.

Set in A forest and a volcano — A fantasy forest with no place on Earth.

An invented forest; the idea of destruction and renewal came from seeing Mount St. Helens after its 1980 eruption, but the film does not set it there.
