United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Some of the animation is powerful (...) 'Fantasia/2000' is splendid entertainment (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"[It is] too breezy and lightweight (...) 'Fantasia/2000' is like a light buffet of tasty morsels rather than a full and satisfying meal"	NEU
United States	Joshua Klein AV Club	"The movie stands on its own pretty well (...) 'Fantasia 2000' is short enough to captivate the kids and mature enough to draw in adults"	POS
United Kingdom	David Parkinson Empire	"The sequel is a curate's egg, with moments of hilarity and beauty alternating with the pompous and the banal (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	R.L. Shaffer IGN	"An enormously enjoyable experience and a perfect complement to the first film."	POS
United States	Eric Henderson Slant	"A worthy successor (...) 'Fantasia 2000' incorporates a wider range of orchestral styles, matched up with much looser and freer animated modes (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"The overall quality of 'Fantasia 2000' is considerably more variable than that of 'Fantasia' (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Paul Tatara CNN	"Groundbreaking"	POS
United Kingdom	Tom Charity Time Out	"It's still not clear who the audience might be, except perhaps the hopeful parents of potential musical prodigies"	NEU
