Sesenta años después de que Walt Disney creara "Fantasía", se rueda "Fantasía 2000", que une la animación más espectacular con una música de ensueño. La obra se divide en ocho partes. Una de ellas es una nueva versión de "El aprendiz de Brujo", de P. Dukas, protagonizada por Mickey Mouse. Pero hay mucho más: desde las divertidas travesuras de unos flamencos a la moderna ciudad en armonioso movimiento, un derroche de imaginación con música de fondo.

This final True-Life Adventure would also appear to be one of the best, as we go into the South American jungle to observe the jaguar. Jungle Cat is more intimate than its kin, allowing individual animal characters to be developed. Central to the cast is a pair of jaguars (one ebony), whose fighting leads to love and, not long after, two babies (one resembling each parent).

This short covers some of the wildlife (predominently birds) on four islands-the Galapagos, Guadelupe, Falklands and an island in the Midway chain. While touching very briefly on the turtles of Galapagos and a bit more in-depth on two varieties of iguana and a species of crab, the documentary focuses primarily on birds, including several species of penguin on at least two of the islands, cormorants, frigate birds and the albatross.

We're off to Australia in the shortest of the short films found on this volume. There's lots of cute little baby animals to be found, but there's a little too much up-close footage of baby kangaroos in their mother's pouch. (It doesn't look so slimy and gooey when Roo does it!) There's also a few glimpses of the giant bat (so large it's nicknamed "the flying fox"), which happens to be the most terrifying animal I've ever known to exist. You'll also see some beautiful footage of a flying squirrel and rare underwater photography of the duck-billed platypus.

Grand Canyon is a 1958 American short documentary film directed by James Algar and produced by Walt Disney Productions. It is a pictorial interpretation of Ferde Grofé's Grand Canyon Suite.

The short won an Oscar at the 31st Academy Awards in 1959 for Best Short Subject (Live Action).

A fabulous new adventure in exciting entertainment.

Part of the "True-Life Adventure Series"; Disney filmmakers take their cameras to Florida, not to document the swamps that would become Walt Disney World, but to capture the lives of creatures in the everglades.

Part of the "True-Life Adventure Series"; The subject of this two-reel are the elk of Washington state's Olympic Peninsula. We see these deer learning to walk, climbing downhill in a herd, and braving local bears. Those, plus some colorful arctic flowers, are the nice bits. We also see the elk engaging in duels (something amusingly observed and "imitated" by marmots), athletic fights with deadlocks said to often end in death by starvation to both participants. If that brutish behavior isn't enough to turn you off, then wait until you see how the polygamous bull males gather up wives and do battle with another (with wives as a wager) before unmelodically announcing the end of their bachelorhood.

The strange and wonderful world that lies beneath our feet, under leaf, log and rock, peopled by millions of weird and fascinating creatures. Released theatrically alongside Alice In Wonderland.

El undécimo clásico Disney fue el último de los llamados filmes-paquete, aquellos que produjo Disney durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y los primeros años de la posguerra. La película narra dos historias míticas de la literatura británica y estadounidense. El primer relato es 'El viento en los sauces', escrito por Kenneth Grahame y que narra la ostentosa vida del señorito J.

En un agradable pueblo de Sleepy Hollow, situado a las afueras del estado de Nueva York, llega el singular profesor Ichabod Crane, que se enamorará perdidamente de la bella Katrina van Tassel. La aparición del fantasma del llamado Jinete sin Cabeza durante la noche de la víspera del día de Todos los Santos convertirá la estancia de Ichabod Crane en una tortura .

This is a unique film in Disney Production's history. This film is essentially a propaganda film selling Major Alexander de Seversky's theories about the practical uses of long range strategic bombing. Using a combination of animation humorously telling about the development of air warfare, the film switches to the Major illustrating his ideas could win the war for the allies.

Con los primeros rayos del sol iluminando la pradera, un nuevo príncipe ha nacido en el bosque. Tan pronto como Bambi aprende a dar sus primeros pasos, comienza a jugar con sus nuevos amigos, Tambor, el conejo juguetón, y Flor, la tímida y adorable mofeta.

Flush riveting is a way of connecting two pieces of sheet metal together, using rivets whose heads do not protrude above the surface of the metal. In aircraft construction, a flush rivet reduces drag, thus increasing aircraft performance. This World War II-era Walt Disney industrial-training film teaches four methods of flush-riveting aircraft aluminum sheet metal: the Countersink method, the Double Dimple method, the Pre-Dimple method, and the Combination Pre-Dimple and Countersink method. The choice of method to use is based upon the thicknesses of the top and bottom metal sheets.

Una colección de interpretaciones animadas de grandes obras de música clásica. En 'El Aprendiz de Brujo' (P. Dukas), Mickey Mouse, discípulo de un mago, se mete en un gran embrollo, pues sus conocimientos de magia son muy limitados.
