先の号では「ゴジラ：ミレニアム」について、ぶーたれて終わってしまい
ました（笑）。今月は、「地域コード１」のＤＶＤネタをお届けします。

ディズニーの名作「ファンタジア」そして「ファンタジア２０００」、
さらに、２本に関連する特典付＝「Legacy」の３枚組をご紹介します。

ご存知のように「ファンタジア」は、６０年も前に制作された「音楽と
映像」の一大叙事詩。ステレオすらない時代に「マルチチャンネル」の
構想を持っていたディズニー、そしてそれを具体化してしまった彼には、
ワタクシ、もう、ひたすら、ひれふすのみ！

さて、私的なことはともかく、今回ご紹介する「３枚組」についてお話
します。素晴らしく、そして「レア」なコンテンツがぎっしりつまって
いることはいうまでもありません。コンテンツを羅列してみます。
