Disney comments on the origins of Fantasia 2000: "At the time of its original release, Fantasia was intended to be a perpetual touring concert presentation, with new selections regularly replacing existing segments, over years and continual release. Sadly, that idea never came to fruition, but Walt's notion of this film as a continuing work in progress always stuck with me." Sixty years later Walt's dream came true.
