As I recall, the dream was never realized because Fantasia didn't make
much money in its first release. Walt had another 25 years to put out an
update before his death in the '60s, but he never did, so I don't think
it's quite accurate to say that his death was the crucial factor.

Of course, we now have Fantasia 2000, which utterly fails to live up to
the standards of its famous predecessor, though the flamingo sequence is
the funniest thing to come out of Disney in at least 30 years.
