  2. Special Premier edition? What is that? Fantasia is one of the Disney films I've never seen. However, I love Symphonic music, and wonderful animation. I'm hopefully getting the Blu-ray for Christmas. So I'm guessing that this means you recommend it?

  3. The original 1940 film needs to be seen, if you can find it. But I'm not sure it still exists in its original form. "Special Premier Edition" is referring to the printed paper program that was given out at the Nov. 13 1940 premiere in NYC. The image above is the cover of that 1940 program.
