Wikipedia:Peer review/Fantasia (film)/archive1
Second peer review: After a recent failed attempt to bring the page on Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation up to featured status, I am trying again with this, one of the most complete and excellent pages on a Disney film on Wikipedia.
I saw the movie on computer last month (and its 2000 counterpart on DVD around New Year's), and I could not possibly get away from either.
That's all I can say for now. Tell me how good it looks so far, and I'll check out on it when I have time. Perhaps I can add some screenshots? --Slgrandson 02:25, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- This is one of those articles I wish I had time to work on, but, alas, the real world calls. I can make some suggestions, however:
- "Cast" should not be the first item we see, and it does not need to be in a table. Integrate it int the "Credits" section at the bottom of the article (there is already some overlap between both sections).
- This article is not even hardly as in-depth as it needs to be about the concepts and production of Fantasia, especially when taking into account just how important this film is. Its post-history (that is, its legacy and re-release history) are covered in the most detail here. There is a big book on Fantasia by John Culhane that would be an excellent primary source, as would a number of other books on Disney films. The audio commentaries (there are two) on the Fantasia DVD, as well as the documentary, are excellent sources as well. There is so much to pick up on (processes used and developed, techniques pioneered, animation styles used, art direction, etc. I know the article is already at 30K, bt that section must be heavily expanded ot make a good article on Fantasia. Perhaps a breakout article for the credits and/or the re-releases would help make room.
- Quotes from the creators (meaning at least Walt, if no one else) are essential.
- Speaking of references, there are none. There are no screenshots, either. --FuriousFreddy 22:38, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, FuriousFreddy. That's all I needed to hear about it. Now I can start working on it as best as I can. Too bad I'll be able to finish it as such when America calls (I'm in Dominica)... --Slgrandson 03:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
