Disney Studio Artists

As part of the Dreamlands film series, a rare screening of Fantasia provides the opportunity to experience Disney’s classic concert film on the big screen with surround sound, immersing the viewer in color and music, and re-visiting the first thirteen presentations of the film using The Walt Disney Studios’ Fantasound, a unique multi-channel sound system specially invented in 1940 for the film.

The screening takes place on December 11, 2016. Learn more.
