As I understand it, Disney Animation is usually working on three features at once, in three different locations. There's a group in California, a group in Florida and a group in France. This is largely why they're able to come out with a new feature each summer, as well as the other "video only" and other (ie Goofy Movie) releases. Of course we don't want to forget Pixar which does the computer animation. In the case of Fantasia 2000, the animators were given much more freedom to experiment than usual. It was a fairly small project with Roy Disney at the helm. The decision to use IMAX as the format was almost a last minute decision, but one I'm glad they made. Well that's enough Disney rambling from me.
I noticed while reading the story that there is a link to an earlier story, where the scientists using the Hubble telescope proudly declare that the universe is 12 billion years old. Oh well, better luck next time.
