My reaction
Synopsis: various pointless animated sequences
How I saw it: on video a couple times (have on VHS), most recently yesterday
Concept: Good. If they had given any of the segments other than "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" a story of some sort, it could have been a great movie. Instead we've got two hours of Characterless Things dancing around.
Story: Terrible. Nope.
Characters: Terrible.
Dialog: Bad.
Pacing: Terrible.
Cinematography: Great.
Special effects/design: Good. I would say great, if it weren't for the gaudiness of the My Little Ponies segment.
Acting: Indifferent.
Music: Great. They're famously mediocre performances/orchestrations, and the selection of which pieces to use is sometimes baffling. So, for a collection of classical music, it's pretty bad. But for a film score, it's great.
Subjective Rating: 3/10 (Bad). Oh my God it's so boring.
Objective Rating: 1.8/4 (Eh).
