Anyone who cannot appreciate Fantasia must have some kind of ideological blinders. My parents loved it and so did my kids; in fact, it was one of their favourite videos, so there's some cross-generational appreciation. Add me into the mix too.

Fantasia is immune to the criticisms one can make of the later Disney, with its stereotypical princesses, wicked step mothers, and expurgation if not bowlderisation of the terror in the original fairy tales.

I suspect Tolkien had too much respect for real fairy tales to like that dumbing down. Lewis I have no liking for, so I'd best not comment at length on his thought. Remember his silly comment about myth being "lies through silver"? At least it gave us Tolkien's defense of myth in Mythopoeia.
