The concept: the world’s greatest music, presented according to the highest acoustic standard, and illustrated by the brilliance of the Disney studio at the height of its powers. The journey of how Fantasia came to be, beset with almost insurmountable challenges, is one of the most breathtaking in movie history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eIn 1940, Walt Disney released his third feature film: Fantasia, consisting of eight animated segments set to music by Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra. The film was groundbreaking: it was the first to be presented with multiple audio channels in a process called Fantasound, the precursor to surround sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eApart from its technical achievements, Fantasia broadened the scope of Disney’s appeal.
