This entry states that Fantasia 2000 was shown exclusively in IMAX theaters. However, when I saw it, it was in a normal United Artists movie theater. LJade728 13:42, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

• Apparently changed by now. States it went to Imax first, then other theaters.--PvtDeth 18:31, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Celebrities

In August, I added the slightly POV statement that the celebrities are "attempting to be funny". This went unchallenged for three months, but was just removed. Since I feel this is a true statement (Steve Martin stands for the most embarrassing part of the whole film, IMHO), I re-inserted it, despite the slight POV. Discussion, please! --Janke | Talk 07:51, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

No response... I inserted Some of these introductions appear contrived, and fail to be funny. Is this better? --Janke | Talk 20:09, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

I just restructured that section a little bit, as I tried to fit in the word "interstitial" (the official name given to those segments), and moved the criticism down to the end of the paragraph rather than the beginning. --Joe

[edit] Criticism of Levine

I removed the section on Criticism of Levine because it seems unfounded. Below are quotations from the removed section and my commentary:

"There has also been criticism of Disney's decision to hire the controversial conductor James Levine."

Who has criticized Disney's decision? Where? When? No citations were given.

"Currently, there are allegations that Levine has engaged in unspecified criminal activity and pedophilia."[1]

Does this qualify as an "allegation"? The article does not name Levine in the body-- only in the Usenet headline. Unless an actual allegation comes out in print from some kind of news source, this sentence is unfounded.

"These allegations against Levine were serious enough to prompt the German Green Party to demand a "certificate of good behavior" from Levine showing that he had no criminal convictions or charges pending against him when he became Music Director of the Munich Philharmonic.[2]"

The linked article does not give the reason why the Germany Green Party demanded the certificate. Whoever added the "Criticism of Levine" article to the Fantasia Wikipedia entry may know something, but unless a valid citation can back up this statement, it should be cut.
