About this album

It was a surprising conceit: Reinvigorate Mickey Mouse by setting some cartoons to classical music. Fantasia is an absolute delight and a classical music primer for the wee ones. There’s profound drama in Bach’s “Toccata and Fugue In D Minor” and kids adore pretty much everything from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker Suite. And honestly, any children’s album that includes Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring—still a shocking and difficult piece today—deserves all the praise that can be heaped upon it.
