Two of Disney’s best and most unique animated classics are finally coming to Blu-Ray — Fantasia and Fantasia 2000. This is exciting news for Disney fans everywhere, but even better, Disney is including Destino, an animated collaboration between Walt Disney and Salvador Dali. This unique animated short was planned back in the 1940s, but was only completed by Disney’s animators a few years ago.

This 4-disc collection includes the movies and extras on two Blu-Ray discs, along with two DVDs with the movies and limited extras. Contents for each disc are as follows:

Disc One: Fantasia Blu-Ray
* DisneyView
* Disney Family Museum
* The Schultheis Notebook – Newly discovered document reveals movie secrets
* Interactive Art Gallery
* Audio Commentaries

Disc Two: Fantasia 2000 Blu-Ray
* Destino – 2003 animated short debuting on Blu-Ray
* Dali and Disney – A date with Destino documentary
* Musicana – Walt’s inpiration for a sequel
* Disney’s Virtual Vault – BD-Live
* Audio Commentaries

Disc Three: Fantasia DVD
* Audio Commentary
* Disney Family Museum

Disc Four: Fantasia 2000 DVD
* Musicana – Walt’s inpiration for a sequel

This will be a must-own Blu-Ray set for all Disney collectors and animation fans alike. For years, fans have been clamoring for the release of Destino, so picking this up at Amazon’s discounted price is a no-brainer. For those who have been putting off upgrading to Blu-Ray, this might finally be the incentive for which you’ve been looking.

Fantasia Fantasia 2000 Special

The Forerunner 305 is a great aid to my running. The heart rate monitor allows me to train to pace myself without over-training. The GPS accurately tracks my distance. I also own a Polar RS300x SD and find myself using the Forerunner 305 more often now. Since the Forerunner 305 uses the GPS to calculate the pace, the feedback will be slightly delayed compared to that of a foot pod. It will take many strides to register an accurate pace. I normally set the display to show the average pace rather than displaying the instantaneous pace. This is only a minor nuisance and does not bother me at all. It is simply a limitation of the technology rather than a flaw. Get a Garmin foot pod to add to the 305 and the problem is solved. I am very happy with my purchase and hope the Forerunner 305 will be durable to last me many years to come.

Pros:
- Accurate distance measurement.
- A ton of features and training aids.
- Virtual partner lets me race a virtual runner and beat my personal best.
- Easily upload data to a laptop or PC.
- Heart rate monitor is more comfortable than it looks.

Cons:
- Size! My left arm is going to be huge compared to my right arm.
- Satellite lock-on may take a couple of minutes on cloudy days.
- Sweat or water can get into the speaker hole. I tape the hole up.
Report on the 2000

I am an adult and I enjoyed this book very much. My husband and I have listened to the whole series on audio book (narrated by Nathaniel Parker who performs it fantastically!) and each book is very engagaing, imaginative, funny and well written. As a Library Clerk, I recommend this book and series to people who like Harry Potter or any other kind of fantasy adventure. Once you start this book, you’ll get hooked on the whole series.
