The Fantasia Legacy: The Concert Feature is the last of a two-part documentary commemorating the 60th anniversary release of Fantasia, narrated by David Ogden Stiers. Picking up where The Fantasia Legacy: The Concert Feature left off, and featuring clips from cartoon shorts, original concept art, and interviews with historians and former company employees, this chronicles the concept, planning, and release of Fantasia 2000 came from renewed interest in the original film.
It features artwork from deleted "Fantasia-esque" concepts, such as Mel Shaw's "Musicana" and Sibelius' Finlandia, as well as Ken Anderson's American Jazz and Ali Baba pieces, and John Lasseter's "Emperor and the Nightingale" concept involving Mickey Mouse that never made it past development.
It ends with a "To Be Continued" like the the first part but instead signifies the notion that Fantasia is a continuing and ever-changing experience for all as Roy Disney quotes in both parts, "Walt's notion of Fantasia as a continuing work in progress always stuck with. I kept thinking, one of these days, we ought to do that."
