Ah, memories... ^___^ I once browbeat a visiting friend into (re-)watching Fantasia with me and she got bored halfway through and hung out with my mother while I finished watching. I was not a typical 15-year old. :D
Actually I rewatched it again a couple of months ago. It couldn't really compare to my nostalgic memories, but what hadn't changed was which numbers I liked and which I didn't. I always hated the Mickey one. It was just so... stupid, for some reason. Slapstick just doesn't appeal to me, and that's basically what it is. Plus, I'm not a fan of Mickey to begin with.
My favourite is hands down the Nutcracker suite. The Toccata and the Pastoral come in 2nd and 3rd place, also because the Toccata made a lot of sense to me long before I even knew what synestesia was. Night on Bald Mountain is also very cool, I espcially love the transformation from mountain to demon and back. The Ave Maria is just pretty, even if nothing much happens. Depending on my mood I'll feel it is either a good end after the raucous goings-on in NoBM, or a bit of a deflated afterthought. But either way I love the colours in that one. I think I have an icon of it somewhere. ...Er, or maybe not. :(
Oh, yeah, and the intros are indeed boring. I didn't know the guy was a radio presenter not used to being on camera, but the.. awkwardness makes more sense now. Oh, and I also skipped over the soundtrack character bit, that just never made sense to me at all.
