Fantasia: The 1940 Disney Animated Classic: Original Roadshow Edition, uncut and unedited with a new high-definition transfer utilizing the best film elements and pressed to DVD in the highest bitrate possible.
*NOTE: This version, in keeping true to editions of the film from the 1940 roadshow exhibition through 1963, includes the uncensored segments of "The Pastoral Symphony" and the original narrations by Deems Taylor. AND the title card will appear twice, once at the beginning (seen only on the 50th anniversary theatrical and 1991 VHS releases) and once midway through during the intermission and there will be the end credits at the end (also seen only on the 50th anniversary release and '91 VHS), which means we will see the orchestra leaving TWICE.
