Disney’s ‘Fantasia’ turns 75 and will be re-released in theaters this November
“Fantasia” is turning 75 years old and Disney is working with BY Experience to release the film in more than 1,400 screens nationwide starting Nov. 8, 2015 for a limited time.
The movie, released in 1940, has been honored by the National Board of Review as one of its Top Ten Films of all time, and the American Film Institute on its list of Greatest American Films.
The screenings will include never-before-seen introduction and performance with the Philadelphia Orchestra, led by Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin, BY Experience announced.
“The legacy of this wonderful film and its music is an important part of The Philadelphia Orchestra’s past, its present, and its future. After 75 years it is still so relevant for today’s audiences,” Nézet-Séguin said in a press release.
“‘Fantasia’ was a groundbreaking film in so many ways, and we are thrilled to have it back on big screens in its original form for new generations of moviegoers to experience,” Julie Borchard-Young, co-president of BY Experience, said.
