Summary - Great 4.0

What an innovative film for its time (1940) — visual cartoon interpretations done by Disney animators of classic musical masterpieces performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Some of the scenes are pretty intense, which I think makes this less of a young child’s film and more of a teen-to-adult film. It is dated, from the quality of the visuals to the narrator himself, but still, this is a very cool film.

Acting - Perfect 5.0

Film - Very Good 3.5

Edge - Tame 1.2

Reality - Surreal 3.0

The orchstra, conductor, and narrator are real people, but the animation is obviously fake.

  Regarding hurwizzle’s Review
  Solid appreciation Hurwizzle.

  I set the genre as Music. Seems a better choice than Children/Family, the other candidate.
