In the 80s, Hanna Barbera tried to make their own version of Fantasia with contemporary music and it has an absolutely wild energy. It's functionally a series of music videos narrated by a friendly robot jukebox played by Scatman Crothers (and Frank Welker doing a Scatman Crothers impression) but each segment is like some hellish combination of American Pop, Hair High, and the nightmare scenes from Brave Little Toaster. Someone managed to splice together and restore an earlier version but this new version is a find straight from a TV airing. The playlist is out of order so heads up! Absolute must watch for fans of weird expensive animation.
finally watched this and yeah, it delivers. just one big ~70 minute fever dream of nothing so much as Stuff Animators Wanted To Animate. the girl's status (true identity?) as a powerful sorceress pops in and out of the narrative to keep the audience on their toes, presumably.
