Classic Film Series presents, ‘Fantasia’ and ‘McCabe and Mrs. Miller’

Fantasia is a groundbreaking animated film produced by Walt Disney and released by Walt Disney Productions in 1940. Unlike traditional narrative films, it is a unique blend of animation and classical music, where each segment of the film is set to a classical music piece, often interpreted in a fantastical, abstract, or visually symbolic way. It was one of the first films to combine sound, animation, and music in such a groundbreaking way, making it a pioneer in animated filmmaking and sound technology. See this special animated classic with full theatre sound on the big screen, 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 9, at the Rosendale Theatre, 408 Main St., Rosendale.

Directed by Robert Altman with music by Leonard Cohen, Warren Beatty and Julie Christie star in this unconventional and intensely memorable western to be shown at the Rosendale Theatre, 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 13. Charismatic gambler John McCabe (Warren Beatty) arrives in a small western town and the local residents are impressed by his confident demeanor and fast talk, but crafty prostitute Constance Miller (Julie Christie) sees through McCabe’s words and realizes he isn’t as sharp as he seems. Unlike traditional westerns, McCabe & Mrs. Miller explores the human cost of desire, ambition and the precariousness of life.

Admission is $10/$6 members. Visit rosendaletheatre.org or call 845-658-8989 for more.
