After numerous unsuccessful attempts to develop a Fantasia Parody, Emation revived the idea shortly after Charlie Corrales became chief executive officer in 2017. The commercial success of the 2000 home video release of Fantasia 2000 convinced Eisner that there was enough public interest and funds for a Parody and he assigned Emation as executive producer. The music for six of the film's eight segments is performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by James Levine. The film includes The Carnival of the Animals from the 2016 original. Each new segment was produced by combining Flash animation with computer-generated imagery.

 * Symphony No. 5 (first movement) by Ludwig van Beethoven. Animation shots of the orchestra illuminated in blue and gold, backed by superimposed shadows, fade into abstract patterns. Animated lines, shapes and cloud formations reflect the sound and rhythms of the music.
 * Pines of Rome by Ottorino Respighi. Selections from the ballet suite underscore scenes depicting the changing of the seasons from summer to autumn to winter. A variety of dances are presented with Humans, Bugs, Monsters, Rats, and Kids.
 * Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin. Set in New Mexico in the 2000s, and designed in the style of Craig McCracken & Lauren Faust's known caricatures of the time, the story follows four individuals, Arthur, Hoe, Bud, and Sammy, who wish for a better life. The segment ends with all four getting their wish, though their stories interact with each other's without any of them knowing.
 * Piano Concerto No. 2, Allegro, Opus 102 by Dmitri Shostakovich. Based on the fairy tale "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" by Hans Christian Andersen, It tells the story of Mr. Peabody (a broken toy soldier) with one leg falls in love with Christine (a toy ballerina) and protects her from an evil jack-in-the-box. Unlike the original story, this version has a happy ending.
 * The Carnival of the Animals (Le Carnival des Animaux), Finale by Camille Saint-Saëns. the segment is the only one featured in both The Carnival of the Animals and The Ethanimation Movie.

 * The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Paul Dukas. Based on the poem "Der Zauberlehrling" by Goethe, It tells the story of Sherman, an apprentice of sorcerer Yen Sid who attempts some of his master's magic tricks before knowing how to control them.
 * Pomp and Circumstance – Marches 1, 2, 3 and 4 by Edward Elgar. Based on the story of Noah's Ark from the Book of Genesis, Zat is Noah's assistant and Lucky is Zat's wife. Zat is given the task of gathering the animals to the Ark and misses, loses, and reunites with Lucky in the process.
 * Firebird Suite—1919 Version by Igor Stravinsky. begins with a lump of clay molded by a monotheistic symbol of the omniscient pyramid, first making a few unsuccessful creatures with overly awkward limbs, then finally the Adam and Eve as portrayed in Genesis. Adam and Eve then transform into Flash animation and, as in Genesis, the serpent comes up to them, offering the fruits of knowledge in the form of an apple. After they refuse it the serpent swallows the apple himself. Falling asleep, he is immediately plunged into a nightmare in a hellish environment where he is first tormented by fiery demons and then plagued by things that are supposed to corrupt humankind (sex, alcohol, money, material objects, drugs, violence);[1] he also grows arms and legs and is magicked into a suit and fedora. When the music ends after he wakes up, he is still wearing the suit and hat but after telling Adam and Eve his dream in a fast-motion and incomprehensible manner, he sheds the suit (losing his arms and legs but keeping the hat) and spits up the still-whole apple The Snake survives and the God encourages her to restore the Snake's Body to its normal state.
