I saw it on 70 mm and do not regret this decision.
I realized it was gorgeous and vivid as a kid but somehow that made everything worse. I dunno what effect it would have on my psyche seeing it as an adult in high def -- when a friend of mine and I saw the rerelease of Fantasia in the theatre for its 50th anniversary in 1990, we gave up all pretensions at dignity and clutched hands during the Bald Mountain part. (Also, every time I've seen Fantasia in the theatre -- which I think is three or four by now, plus the first one as a kid -- during that part there are always WAILS from the young viewers as that part really gets going.)
