90	TNT RoughCut Christopher Brandon Walt would be proud.
88	New York Post Lou Lumenick More than lives up to its clever positioning as the first movie of the new millennium.
75	Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt Although it's less novel and feisty than the original "Fantasia" of 1940, this collection of music-filled animations is highly entertaining at times.
75	San Francisco Chronicle Bob Graham A millennial medley to the max.
67	Entertainment Weekly Bruce Fretts Oh well, back to the drawing board.
67	Mr. Showbiz F. X. Feeney The good news is that they've resurrected a franchise with wonderful potential and may eventually grow bored enough of recapping past triumphs to take it in more daring directions.
63	New York Daily News Jack Mathews Whether it's any good depends on your expectations.
50	L.A. Weekly Ella Taylor What's missing from Fantasia 2000 is the shamelessly pandering Disney cutesy that made the original such a full-blooded nostalgic memory.
50	Philadelphia Inquirer Desmond Ryan It musters both the merits and the drawbacks of the landmark original.
40	Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector The rest of these animated sequences...depend on gimmickry, cuteness, or facile ideology, and don't come close to demonstrating the complex relationship between sound and image found in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice."
