Blu-Ray Trailer For Fantasia, Fantasia 2000 And Fantasia World By Brendon Connelly/Jan. 4, 2010 7:59 am EST Though nothing now could live up to the excitement of seeing Fantasia on it’s original release, when it was a real big event with allocated seating, a dress code, programme booklets and the first ever stereophonic sound in cinema, I’m still getting pretty sparky over the film’s imminent Blu-ray edition.
