Fantasia Magical Meal


Walt Disney's third feature animation was Fantasia. I had never seen it before, so I enjoyed viewing it with my kids. But enough about the movie. Let's eat! Our menu was as follows: Fantasia Chicken Salad
Sorcerer's Apprentice Ambrosia
Alligator Tails
Hippo-tatoes
Night on Bald Mountain Dessert
For the Chicken Salad, start with a bed of green lettuce. Layer shredded cooked chicken on top. Then let your imagination go wild! Fantasia is all about colors and creativity. Add different colors to the salad. Anything from tortilla chips to fruits to nuts. How about colorful cereals? I sprinkled a few fruit loops for a bright color. Surprise your kids!

For the Sorcerer's Apprentice Ambrosia combine 1 cup vanilla yogurt, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons sugar. Set aside. In another bowl combine 2 cut up bananas, 1 cup cantaloupe, 1 cup pineapple chunks, 1 cup strawberries, and 1 cup red grapes. Add fruit to the yogurt mixture to coat. Serve in small bowls.

For the Alligator Tails, buy 2 packages of crescent rolls and bake according to directions. For Hippo-tatoes, clean small red potatoes. Cover each one in wax paper and prick with fork. Cook in microwave, one minute per potato. Night on Bald Mountain has to be dark, evil, wicked. In serving bowls, dish out chocolate ice cream and drizzle chocolate syrup over. Whipped cream is optional.

I know you're waiting for it. Here it is. Thomas Fitzmartin's review of the movie Fantasia:
Fantasia was a great, new experience for me. It's the first movie solely based on music with animation. It doesn't need a good story to make a good movie (with the exception of the Sorcerer's Apprentice). The animation was fantastic. The characters are memorable to this day (like Mickey or the evil Chernebog). The music was so beautiful, the way they play it was spectacular. It's a good movie to see if you're in a mood for something amazing.
