Fantasia 2k Carnival of the Animals & The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
In the Disney version, A flock of flamingos try to force a slapstick member to engage in their "dull" routines. The original Carnival of the Animals (Le carnaval des animaux) is a humorous musical suite of fourteen movements by the French Romantic composer Camille Saint-Saëns.
ONLYthe Finale (XIV or 14) was used in Fantasia.The over-all musical work is over 25 minutes long. The Finale is somewhat reminiscent of an American carnival of the 19th century, with one piano always maintaining a bouncy eighth note rhythm.
Based on Goethe's 1797 poem DerZauberlehrling, the segment is the only one retained from 1940's Fantasia. The poem finishes with the old sorcerer's statement that powerful spirits should only be called by the master himself.
The most important theme is the moral of the story. In DerZauberlehrling and in the story's iteration in the 1940 animated film Fantasia, it is generally presumed that the story embodies some maxim or moral,of "don't meddle with things you don't understand” or offers a metaphor for modern societywhere youth and inexperience is enthroned, resulting in an increasingly out of control mess being made, and in need of 'our betters' to return and take charge once more.
