Clearly, FANTASIA was a benchmark film in all ways, and has continued to tantalize generation after generation with it's landmark qualities. And the sound presentation (as you correctly point out) is a direct result of defining an entirely new method of audio capture and playback using three channels behind the screen instead of just one the one that would exist both before and after 1941 roadshow openings:<br /><br />FANTASOUND<br /><br />A little movie sound history is in order:Jeremy R.
