*DID YOU KNOW?* The drummer seen here 20:17 is James MacDonald, a Disney Studio employee who would go on the voice Mickey Mouse from _Fantasia_ onward until Wayne Allwine took over in the 70s.

FANTASIA 2000 was just awwwwwful

Actually, "La Gioconda" is an opera, not a ballet. The "Dance of the Earth" is played and danced as a showstopper, and has nothing to do with the actual storyline.

The art for this amazing series got better and better over time

I love Kojimas art so much!

I definitely enjoyed cloudy days and night time, just not the sun beating overhead. I don't like sunny days irl but I get that LA is sunny most of the time. But the city looks really good near sunset or sunrise or when it's cloudy or rainy or night time.

I want a new noir game so bad!!!!

Another noir game that is very atmospheric is The Saboteur, Pandemic Studios swan song..

Just found your channel and I wonder why this video doesn't have a million views. Love it dude

As for yo-yos being "too modern," they are actually quite ancient, being in existence since at least 440 B.C.! (See the Wikipedia article on the subject.)

I remember my father in law who grew up in LA in the 40’s was very impressed with the accuracy of LAN. What an amazing effort.

That demon scared me as a kid, till I killed him in Kingdom Hearts.

They’re all very beautiful and I can’t really rank them

why this dude talkin like a 1920's gangster

The Tin-Steadfast Little Soldier segment is amazing, the characters are very well compelling, the story is short but well done and overall there kinda is something amazing about the change on the ending avoiding tragedy and giving the rightfull justice twist on the plot as it´s the Jack-in-the-Box which gets destroyed and both the ballerina and the soldier got into a true happy couple at the end. It´s amazing because the characters got chemistry earlier on, the ballerina isn´t a bland mc-guffin-like character but she has her own strong personality even with the limitations as a porcelain figure could get (she kinda is very in tune with current 90s princesses of Disney) and well the soldier is such a great brave character specially considering how he acheives success eventhough he seems to be very handicapped by missing a leg but... he ends handling it and make it work neverthless.. So it´s personal superation story after all!! Andersen story was ok but Disney actually uploaded it a lot even with the happy end!

Dance of the Hours segment actually had individual leading character dancers on their own sections as the leading couple Hyacinth Hippo and Ben Ali Gator, but then Madame Barynoshvka or something Russian-like is the name for the leading ostrich with different color of clothings which starts the whole ballet. Apparently there is a special elephant called Elephanchine on their segment but she is kinda not much noticeable from the others except because she kinda gets into wierd funny and cringy stuff compared to the others. That´s kinda very in tune with the original ballet because actually there are no much leading dancers on it, except by the leading couple of dancers, thus Disney added more individual characters on it.

Another issue on the opening segment of Fantasia 2000 is that though mostly abstract-art motifs as the Toccata and Fugue in D minor from Bach on the 1940´s Fantasia, the 5th Bethoven Symphony doesn´t keeps so much abstract in concept as there kinda have a STORY on the main two butterflies (one yellow larger than the other light-pink one) and their whereabouts in that world chased on by bats and then protected by the other butterflies handling the light as lasers against darkness. It was kept mostly abstract in visuals and quite simple but still GOT A STORY and in fact most or all Fantasia 2000 segments got STORIES on themselves, while the original Fantasia just have half of it.

The winged babies of Pastoral Symphony segment weren´t cherubs though look a lot like, but actually CUPIDS, i.e. the younger versions of Eros/Love spirit coming more from Roman mythology than Greek one, but as both are the classical Western mythology both were got mixed on it.

One other interesting thing about The Sorcerer's Apprentice is that it was created first as a Silly Symphony short but was more expensive than planned so they decided to batch it with other animated shorts creating the initial idea for Fantasia. Comparing this to other mickey silly symphonies shorts like The Little Whirlwind which came out in 1941 (The Sorcerer's Apprentice came out in 1940) it's crazy how much mood and atmosphere was baked into that short BEFORE the idea of making it a high art/experimental feature film. It is a legend as a stand alone and as as part of the ensemble for both Fantasia films. Over marketed but under appreciated in my book.

I asked someone if he knew what the first feature-length animated movie was, he guessed Fantasia. He then asked if he was way off, I said you're on the right track, and said the first was actually Snow White.

My ranking: #16. The Rite Of Spring #15. Meet The Soundtrack #14. Dance Of The Hours #13. The Carnival Of The Animals #12. The Nutcracker Suite #11. The Pastoral Symphony #10. The Pines Of Rome #9. Clair De Lune #8. Pomp And Circumstance #7. Symphony No. 5 #6. Rhapsody In Blue #5. The Firebird Suite #4. Night On Bald Mountain/Ave Maria #3. Piano Concerto No. 2 And The Steadfast Tin Soldier #2. Toccota And Fugue In D Minor #1. The Sorcerer's Apprentice If anyone wants to know my further thoughts on any of these, feel free to politely and civilly ask.

I still have mine with over 50 good games the best one they ever did

In my opinion richter and Evan and beard are the only reedmble ones as ricthter actually fell remorse, Evan doesn’t kill, and beard is just a solider

I’d love to see Cole Phelps as an FTO for an overly optimistic, naive rookie. Showing him the ropes and the realities of life as a cop in 1950s or 1960s LA

This video was first recommended to me a few weeks ago. Watching it now for the second time. And I think I've just realised what made it so addictive to me - must be the noir tone of the presentation. The way "Behind Locked Doors" part begins (at 21:50 mark) with the narrator stating that "[the in-door areas] *mostly* make up for the monotony of the overworld" - there is something very noir about it to me. Highly enjoyable content, as is the game. Thank you for putting your heart into it! P.S. A well-known interesting tidbit is that one of L.A. Noire sources of inspiration seems to be L.A. Quartet, a sequence of four crime fiction novels, by James Ellroy. P.P.S. Would love something similar on Mafia 2.

I loved watching Fantasia as a child; I always admired the art styles and the music, and I appreciated it, to this day I still do being a lover of the arts.

Kojima's art style is still my favorite. Kinda suck that 3D Castlevania cant live to its potential since that is where her character design can be fully shown. Curse of Darkness is my favorite one, but mostly cos of the gameplay, not the aesthetic.

Dance of the hours and pastoral symphony are my two favorites from the original

I think one of the games that best embraced the limitations of 3D models at the time was the Gadget duology, Invention, Travel, and Adventure, and Past as Future. There’s a lot more NPCs than you would normally encounter in a Myst-like game at the time, but you never feel at ease around any of them because they’ve all got a poker face at every moment. It’s a setting where everyone is paranoid, no one trusts anyone, everyone is worried about judgement from the government, and so they refuse to betray any emotion.

My favorite moment in Fallout 2 was encountering the town of Modoc in between the Den and Vault City. It’s a long stretch of mostly empty desert periodically interrupted by random encounters. I didn’t have the car yet, so the trip went by very slowly, not helped by the early game being very difficult, so there was the tension of possibly running into a random encounter I couldn’t handle. But then I stumbled into Modoc, which I didn’t know existed. Being hit with that beautiful music was such a relief from the loneliness and frustration I had been feeling so far.

They basically watched LA Confidential and loved it! The characters are almost cut out from the film pretty much. Obviously they're (Phelps and co.) composites and not quite as dark as the LA Confidential coppers though! 🙂 Right down the Irish police commissioner boss! I love the look and feel of the game, it's very much a satisfying time-warp into the Los Angeles of the 1940s & 50s...

LA cops back in 40's was very corruption more so today

moar vids plox

I like this video but I wish you used gameplay footage of these games running on Xbox original rather than their rereleases of inconsistent quality. I understand some are hard to find but it does Fable a disservice to show Fable Anniversary while you're talking about it and so on.

Underrated game!

The best way to play this game is in its black and white option. 😎

Fantastic ranking! The Fantasia films will always have a special place in my heart and memories for helping expand my imagination and spirit! You earned a subscriber.

great video from beginning to end

Got a hard modded console and dude it’s got every single game ever made it’s so good, had it for over 10 years now limited edition crystal with halo controllers ❤

I'm an original Xbox fan, now. Thank you for the video, it was awesome and I thought of nothing else, I didn't even watch saw3 as it played in the background. Thank you for showing me a different perspective for the original Xbox console, and Xbox as a whole. You definitely reminded me why I love this kind of content before the "gaming is boring and less risky than it used to"-videos started flooding everybody's feed...or just mine... But it's whatever. I'm rambling, now. Great video and... Stuff, so uh... Yeah... Thanks...lol.

As an Angeleno.. your outro was fucking bars man; it really speaks to why this game hit hard for me

If any game deserved a prequel/sequel from Rockstar, it’ll be LA Noire

I like Donald’s Ark 🥺👉🏻👈🏻

I like the little mushrooms. They're cute.

The Burger Rap is eternally stuck in my mind

This game took place in the 60s the fuck

The original XBOX was a true underdog. A lot of unique titles, even the worst ones are interesting (save for a particular exclusive.) The XBOX and GameCube rank among my top consoles for the sixth generation.

I live in Los Angeles. I love L.A. Noire. L.A. is a beautiful weather and many people friendly.

I think some of your criticisms are simply the result of doing an accurate version of LA, not just in look but in feel. The streets do feel oddly deserted and sparsely populated. People frequently walk around saying weird things. It's a deeply lonely city, something I think La La Land also captures perfectly.
