Storyline
| Plot Summary |
An enthusiastic filmmaker thinks he's come up with a totally original idea: animation set to classical music! When he is informed that some American named "Prisney" (or something) has already done it, he decides to do his own version, using an orchestra comprising mostly old ladies and an animator he's kept locked in a dungeon. Several different classical pieces are animated, while the animator plots his escape.

| Trivia | Ward Kimball once called the "Bolero" sequence one of the greatest pieces of animation he had ever seen and would recommend it to students learning about the medium. See more » |
| Goofs | Since this film is a parody AND a cartoon, it's arguable whether anything can be legitimately considered a goof. However, at the end of the film, when the director sends Franceschini down to the archives, each time he pulls a finale off the pile the same animation is reused all three times. The effect is that Franceschini takes the same stage each time, only to have it reappear when he goes back for the next. See more » |

| Quotes |
[last lines]
The Orchestra Master: We're unemployed, then. The Presenter: Unemployed...until the next movie. I've already got an idea. A brand-new idea. We could do a love story. The Orchestra Master: A love story? The Presenter: But not the usual kind about men and women. Lots of men and lots of women. The Orchestra Master: Wife-swapping? The Presenter: No, not that same old stuff. Something different. I like asymmetry. Seven men and one woman. The Orchestra Master: That'll cost a lot. The Presenter: No, not at all. We'll get little tiny men and make the woman real tall. It'll be fantastic! The Orchestra Master: Sounds scary. The Presenter: What do you mean scary? Seven little workers, so you get the social context, too. A mine! They'll work in a min! I can see them now, singing happily. The Orchestra Master: Have you thought of a title? The Presenter: That'll be easy. Let's see..."Sleeping Beauty". Now keep it under your hat or some screenwriter hack might steal the idea. You can't trust anyone these days. He'll change the title, play up the sex. And give it some crazy name like "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. And then we'll be screwed. See more » |
