-'''''Fantasia''''' is a 1940 animated film, directed and produced by [[Walt Disney]], which mixes animation with classical music. At the time, it received mixed reviews and didn't make back its initial budget, but years later it was acknowledged as a groundbreaking, influential film, often named one of the greatest animated films ever made. Various scenes from the film are frequently referenced on ''The Simpsons'', most commonly the ''Sorcerer's Apprentice'' (starring [[Mickey Mouse]]), the ''Rite of Spring'' and the ''Night on Bald Mountain'' segments. [[Matt Groening]] has often expressed the idea of making a ''Simpsons''-themed feature film based on ''Fantasia'', which would be titled ''Simpstasia''. <ref>https://www.slashfilm.com/1802384/the-simpsons-disney-parody-simptasia-cancelled/</ref> <ref>https://www.cbr.com/the-simpsons-should-do-simptasia/</ref>
