Fantasia 2000 Blue Info
Nocturnal jazz, Art Deco dreams, lonely fire escapes, and the moment before dawn.
But here’s the magic: the blue doesn’t stay sad. It becomes freedom. It becomes art. The squiggly, Hirschfeld-inspired lines explode into color as each character finally gets their moment. It’s proof that sometimes, you have to hit rock-bottom blue to fly.
Set to Gershwin’s jazzy masterpiece, this short follows four lonely souls in Depression-era New York. They’re all trapped—by jobs, by marriage, by routine. And they’re all dreaming in blue.
