Plot Summary:In this update of Disneys masterpiece film mixture of animation and music, new interpretations of great works of music are presented. It begins with an abstract battle of light and darkness set to the music of Beethoveens Fifth Symphony. Then we see the adventures of a Humpback Whale calf and his pod set to The Pines of Rome. Next is the humourous story of several lives in 1930s New York City, scored with Rhapsody in Blue. Following is a musical telling of the fairy tale, The Steadfast Tin Soldier set to Dmitri Shostakovichs Piano Concerto No. 2. Then a goofy Flamingo causes havoc in his flock with his yo-yo to the tune of the finale of Carnival of the Animals. This is followed by the classic sequence from the original film, The Sorcerers Apprentice starring Mickey Mouse and followed by Pomp and Circumstance starring Donald Duck as a harried assistant to Noah on his Ark. Finally, we see the awesome tale of the life, death and renewal of a forest in a sequence featuring the composition, The Firebird.
