    Wonderfully dark short!
    I love the story in this! Sometimes, it's a bit hard to follow, but it makes up for that with a gorgeous animation style and great music. Disney should really do another Fantasia if they can muster enough creative energy nowadays. Check this one out if you have five minutes!

Every detail in the script, every bit in the score, every performance (especially Heath Ledger's, of course), every scene is just done in such a high-quality fashion that nearly all superhero films fail to come close to.
