The film, which tells the story of a skilled assassin embroiled in the political turmoil of a post-apocalyptic world, is incoherent and jumps from shot to shot with clunking awkwardness. You can feel the studio meddling in the version of 'Æon Flux' we ultimately got. That didn't save the day: 'Æon Flux' flopped hard, and the director eventually disowned it. Paramount ultimately found Kusama to have made a '$50 million art movie' and took the film away from her for heavy re-editing. Since its 2005 premiere, this Charlize Theron-starring action film has become synonymous with a catastrophic blockbuster production.

Whether one prefers the abstract light show visualizing Bach's 'Toccata and Fugue in D Minor' or the cute animals bopping to Ponchielli's 'Dance of the Hours,' this film is unlike any other - and an experience everybody owes to themselves to have at least once. The film's synchronization of classical music masterworks to unbound, mellifluous, intuitively fitting animation packs a wallop. Nevertheless, as the years passed, 'Fantasia' became a universally recognizable point of reference for experimentation and extravagance within the bounds of cinema and a source of inspiration for countless artists and psychedelia enthusiasts. Walt regretted making 'Fantasia' - an overly ambitious enterprise that promised to revolutionize animation, concerts, and film. Neither critics nor audiences expected the Mouse to go avant-garde on them. Walt Disney had, by that point, spent more than a decade building his studio's rep as a purveyor of safe, comforting, emotionally digestible family entertainment. When you think about it, it's no surprise. Scorsese's use of 3D is restrained and clever, and he has a lot of fun with the technology, making for as beautiful a film as you'd expect from such a talented, prolific director.

The film also stars Chloë Grace-Moretz, Helen McCrory, and Sacha Baron Cohen, and is a love-letter to cinema and its beginnings, with much of the second act centered around Méliès' legacy. The toy store is owned by George Méliès (Ben Kingsley), the real-life French filmmaker who is considered by many to be the father of special effects. He also keeps an old, broken automaton that his dad used to have Hugo attempts to fix it, stealing parts from a toy store inside the station. After Hugo's dad (Jude Law) passes away, Hugo lives with his uncle, who's in charge of maintaining the clocks around the station. When his uncle disappears, Hugo carries on his job in secret. Based on the 2007 novel 'The Invention of Hugo Cabret' by Brian Selznick, 'Hugo' follows its titular character, a young boy (played by Asa Butterfield, in a great performance) living in a train station in Paris.
