My two cents:
I saw the film in Dallas at the Science Place where I worked at the time. I was lucky, and was probably one of the first 3 people to see the movie on a domed screen - it was a technical screening(i sneaked myself and my sister into a press screening the next day too).
I loved it. I barely remembered the original Fantasia, though I think F2K is a lot less scary than the original, though my 23 year old sister did jump during the Firebird Suite. I didn't like the first piece (too abstract, and I didn't think it stuck to the music as well as it could have), but the rest are awesome.
I talked to the head IMAX person at my science museum and learned that IMAX itself was really depending on profits from this movie. It does suck that Disney makes the theatres played it exclusively for 4 months, but they are trying to milk for everything it's worth. And of course they are going for video sales instead of optimizing the movie for IMAX - that wouldn't make the greatest transition to video. I still thought seeing it on one of the huge IMAX screens was worth it. And the sound systems in the IMAX theatres are much better than conventional theatres.
So, I implore everyone to go see it if it is nearby, because it is definitely worth it. I have seen it twice already, and am going to see it at least one more time on an IMAX screen during spring break.
