Fantasia -- A groundbreaking Disney film featuring eight classical music pieces, accompanied by animation, to create a unique blend of sound and pictures.

AU REVOIR LES ENFANTS tells a heartbreaking story of friendship and devastating loss between two boys living in Nazi-occupied France. At a provincial Catholic boarding school, the precocious youths enjoy true camaraderie-until a secret is revealed. Based on events from writer-director Malle's own childhood, the film is a subtle, precisely observed tale of courage, cowardice, and tragic awakening.

Building upon Walt Disney's bold 1940 experiment in sight and sound, 'Fantasia/2000' offers an exciting showcase for the talents of a new generation of Disney animators and filmmakers as they visually interpret classical compositions. Originally conceived as a 'repertoire program' with changing musical selections, the film returns in time for the millennium with seven new selections and one returning favorite from the 1940 classic. World renowned conductor James Levine takes up the baton this time out as he leads the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Like its pioneering predecessor, 'Fantasia/2000' embraces all the latest technological tools and innovations to tell its stories and create breathtaking imagery
