Fantasia is a 1940 American animated film, produced by Walt Disney Productions and given a wide release by RKO Radio Pictures. With story direction by Joe Grant and Dick Huemer and production supervision by Ben Sharpsteen, it is the third feature in the Disney Animated Canon. The film consists of eight animated segments set to pieces of classical music conducted by Leopold Stokowski; seven of which are performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Music critic and composer Deems Taylor acts as the film's Master of Ceremonies, who introduces each segment in live action interstitial scenes.

Disney settled on the film's concept as work neared completion on The Sorcerer's Apprentice, an elaborate Silly Symphonies short designed as a comeback role for Mickey Mouse (who had declined in popularity during that time). As production costs grew higher and the project getting pushed back, he decided to make a feature-length film with other segments set to classical pieces. The soundtrack was recorded using multiple audio channels and reproduced with Fantasound, a pioneering sound reproduction system that made Fantasia the first commercial film shown in stereophonic sound. Mickey was redesigned by Fred Mooreinto his current design starting in The Pointer;, here, though, he is dressed in a red sorcerer robe and, to complete the look, he dons his master's Sorcerer Hat. The energy absorbs into his blood, whereupon he performs magical feats not unlike those of his mentor.
