Director Eric Goldberg, a veteran animator and director ("Pocahontas"), first paid homage to the style of legendary caricaturist Al Hirschfeld when he designed and supervised the animation of the Genie in "Aladdin." In Walt Disney Pictures' animated extravaganza "Fantasia 2000" -- with Hirschfeld's blessing and approval -- he takes his admiration to the next level as he creates a whole world designed in the artist's unmistakable linear style. Set in Manhattan during the Jazz Age, this whimsical tale, with music by George Gershwin, follows several diverse characters as they weave in and out of each other's lives during the course of their daily routines.
