The Mad Hatter and King Candy quip about how similar their voices are (hi guys Peter Griffin here to explain the joke. Mad Hatter was voiced by Ed Wynn and King Candy's voice is an impression of Ed Wynn. Candy was voiced by Alan Tudyk, who voices Hatter in the short)
On that note, more voice actor related jokes, like how Pooh, Kaa, and Cheshire Cat all have the same voice (Sterling Holloway)
Someone, anyone, gets to punch out Frollo
Peter and the Wolf (Make Mine Music) characters show up
Johnny Appleseed (Melody Time) shows up
(they acknowledged none of the package films except for Ichabod and Mr. Toad and Fun and Fancy Free (saw the golden harp girl there) 💀
now I loved the short, don't get me wrong, I'm just sick of the three caballeros erasure 😤
EDIT: I was wrong, Jose and Panchito ARE in the movie, in the group picture at the end, along with Johnny Fedora, Alice Blue Bonnet, Casey, Pedro, and that ice-skating couple
Did you know that Wendy Carlos once collaborated with "Weird Al" Yankovic on a record that parodies two classic musical compositions, "Peter and the Wolf" and "The Carnival of the Animals"? Not surprisingly, it's very fun to listen to, combining Yankovic's comedic talent with Wendy's musical genius (she's no stranger to classical music, after all). However, what really made me love the album is the cover:
Okay, there's Weird Al, front and center, but where's Wendy? Hang on, what's that in the tree?
Oh my User, it's Wendy Carlos as an adorable little bird! With a tiny synth and computer!
the marauders and which version of peter and the wolf they would listen to
sirius: philadelphia orchestra, 1978, narrated by david bowie. it’s not spectacular narration but sirius wouldn’t care about that. david bowie is all the reason he needs. besides, it’s probably the only record his mother let him play, along with, like, a young persons guide to the orchestra.
peter: graunke symphony orchestra, 1949, narrated by sterling holloway. now, this is a man who knows how to tell a story. don’t you just love sterling holloway. you can’t convince me peter wasn’t a huge disney kid. winnie the pooh. robin hood. the aristocats. fantasia (i love fantasia).
james: royal philharmonic orchestra, 1965, narrated by sean connery. james would’ve eaten that shit up as a kid. i mean, bond? hell yeah. fleamont would pretend to be the wolf, like james needed an excuse to tackle him. he would’ve had the whole thing memorized.
and remus. poor remus. he’ll take sirius’ young persons guide to the orchestra, thank you very much. but, seriously, i can totally imagine him curled up in windows with a book like suzy in moonrise kingdom, daydreaming to purcell. if only he had three younger brothers.
I can be coming out of a meltdown and the thing that's regulating to me is realizing how the Wolf in "Peter and the Wolf" is represented by French Horn, which is featured predominantly in the score of "Batman: The Animated Series"..... which heavily influenced Loba's character development and the theme from her heirloom event
If you, like me, are currently obsessed with David Tennant and you, like me, enjoy fun reinterpretations of well known classical pieces, I've got the album for you!
One thing I've noticed is that The Boy Who Cried Wolf and Peter and the Wolf are often conflated with the former often being called the latter. Even the Fairytale TV Database is guilty of this, listing Grimm's Cry Luison episode under Peter and the Wolf despite it being based on The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
What's the reason and/or origin for these two different tales are conflated together?
I gues the same reason people fuse all the famous stories involving a wolf under one big fresco of the "Big Bad Wolf" (Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, The Wolf and the Seven Kids). More precisely, I believe it might be due to these two tales being the only two famous "wolf stories" that involve the character of the Wolf being pitted after a boy or a young man. As such, it might have helped people's confusion. If the Wolf is against a girl, it's Riding Hood, if the wolf is against pigs, it's the Three Little ones, if the Wolf is against goats, it's the seven kids... Each of these tale has its very defined, unique set of "wolf-victim". But these twos are about a "boy" in each case. So, the same way all the wolves are in people's minds one wolf, then the "boy" becomes one same character...
They return to the crime machine, they believe that the criminal could be someone with a bad temper, so it could be Donald, they lock him up, but it turns out that he is innocent and they release him.
