A lot has changed since Disney Interactive first approached music game developer Harmonix Music Systems, creators of the original Guitar Hero and Rock Band games, about making an interactive sequel to Walt Disney’s beloved Fantasia film in 2010. Since acquiring Marvel and Lucasfilm, Disney DIS 0.26% has streamlined its game development to focus almost entirely on its Disney Infinity franchise and Disney Mobile games like the upcoming Big Hero 6: Big Hero Shootout. In the wake of the September launch of Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes, Disney Interactive has shipped the Microsoft-exclusive MSFT -0.55% Fantasia: Music Evolved for Xbox One and Xbox 360.
Harmonix has spent the last few years scouring the Walt Disney Animation Research Library (ARL) to bring the classic 1940 film Fantasia to life in a brand new way. During the creative process of the film, Disney hired stenographers to record every meeting as the music and storytelling for the eight animated sequences were constructed.
