==== Later reviews ==== {{Rotten Tomatoes data|prose|consensus=A landmark in animation (and a huge influence on the medium of music video), Disney's ''Fantasia'' is a relentlessly inventive blend of the classics with phantasmagorical images.|ref=yes}} {{Metacritic film prose |score=96 |count=18 |ref=yes |access-date=May 21, 2022}} ''[[TV Guide]]'' awarded the film four stars, calling it "the most ambitious animated feature ever to come out of the Disney studios", noting how the film "integrates famous works of classical music with wildly uneven but extraordinarily imaginative visuals that run the gamut from dancing hippos to the purely abstract".<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.tvguide.com/movies/fantasia/review/2030346787/|title=''Fantasia''|magazine=[[TV Guide]]|access-date=February 28, 2014|archive-date=December 13, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211213183851/https://www.tvguide.com/movies/fantasia/review/2030346787/|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Roger Ebert]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' rated the film four stars out of four, and noted that throughout ''Fantasia'', "Disney pushes the edges of the envelope".<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/fantasia-1990 |title=''Fantasia''|newspaper=[[Chicago Sun-Times]]|first=Roger |last=Ebert|author-link=Roger Ebert|access-date=February 28, 2011 |date=October 5, 1990 |via=[[RogerEbert.com]]}}</ref> However, ''Empire'' magazine only rated it 2 stars out of 5 (poor), concluding "this is a very patchy affair β while some of the animated pieces work, others come across as downright insane".<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.empireonline.com/reviews/review.asp?FID=967|title=''Fantasia''|magazine=[[Empire (magazine)|Empire]]|access-date=February 28, 2014}}</ref> Remarks have also been made about ''Fantasia'' not being a children's film. Religion writer Mark I. Pinsky considers ''Fantasia'' to be one of the more problematic of Disney's animated features in that it was intended as much as for adults as children and not what people had come to expect.{{sfn|Pinsky|2004|p=33}}
