Fantasia: Music Evolved, described as a “breakthrough musical motion video game inspired by Disney’s classic animated film Fantasia,” will be released in 2014 for Xbox One and Xbox 360, Disney Interactive Entertainment and developer Harmonix have announced.

Players enter the magical realms of Fantasia, selected by the legendary sorcerer Yen Sid to hone their musical and magical prowess as his new apprentice.

Using Kinect players will “control the music flow” from some of the industry’s biggest acts, including electronic DJ and producer AVICII, Bruno Mars, and Queen. Players have the ability to change the mix of their favourite songs in real-time, choosing between the original recording and new remixed versions, or adding new layers of music via magical manipulators.

The game will feature tracks from over 25 leading artists, each with two unique remixes in addition to the original recording. The current announced artists and songs that will appear include:

  • AVICII – Levels
  • Bruno Mars – Locked Out Of Heaven
  • Fun. – Some Nights
  • Kimbra – Settle Down
  • Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody

Fantasia: Music Evolved will be playable at E3.

After watching that trailer I’m personally struggling to see how this has been inspired by Fantasia.
