#ostrich ballerina

[lpsotd]

I had this ballerina hippopotamus as a kid and I lost her a long time ago, I've always been a little sad about that. The tutu was flimsier cloth and it was an older generation. Do you think you could help me out?

i think you might be talking about hippo #1415 ?? she's a generation three pet that came in a 'pet pairs' pack alongside ostrich #1416. i'm very sure this is it (the only hippo in a tutu to my knowledge), but do let me know if i am wrong

Ponchielli Dance of the Hours

the first act of this song was described as the delicate first light of dawn but I find it rather interesting they chose ballerina ostriches fill this role as ostriches are anything but delicate and ballet requires so much strength. it really elucidates how the morning light may seem soft but is still strong with the inevitability of the rising sun.

Fantasia Short Rankings

Here's my ranking of all the shorts in both Fantasia and Fantasia 2000, from best to worst. And I apologize, but I will be ranking these almost entirely based on the animation and how the music pairs with it. The songs are classical pieces, so there's no reason to rate one higher or lower based on just how much I like the song itself, it's not like Disney made them.

Firebird Suite (forest sprite vs volcano bird). Absurdly gorgeous animation, cute character dynamics despite only having 3 characters, and a really nice character arc of curiosity, fear, trauma, hope, and rebirth that perfectly demonstrates a real scientific phenomenon (life springing back after an eruption) is a beautiful manner.

Rhapsody in Blue (people in city). I love this short. It probably has the best music-to-animation synching out of any Fantasia short. This is one of the few Fantasia shorts where I can't imagine the song without this animation put to it. The animation style is fantastic, the four interweaving stories are great, and the overall tone is sympathetic and fun. My only gripe is John's wife getting way too harsh of an ending.

Pomp and Circumstance (Donald Duck Noah's Ark). The classic Noah's ark story with a different classic "two lovers separate and think the other's dead, just barely missing each other constantly" comedic set-up. I think this short is great, with gorgeous animal animation and great comedic timing. I think this short is better than The Sorcerer's Apprentice, though just by a hair.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Mickey the magic novice). I think Mickey's short is the best of the original Fantasia, but it doesn't hit the same highs of 2000. It has a really fun story, with lots of extremely iconic scenes and segments. There's a reason it's the only short that got remade into a full movie and even included in 2000.

Pines of Rome (flying whales). As nonsensical as they are, I like the flying whales, I'm a defender of this one. The CGI works better here than in The Steadfast Tin Soldier, and the use of light, ice refraction, and water is really pretty. And I don't mind the simple story, with the baby whale getting separated from its parents. The final sequence is beautiful.

Dance of the Hours (ballet of ostriches, hippos, elephants, and alligators). It's always funny to me that this is one of the more iconic Fantasia shorts. After Yen Sid and Chernabog, Hyacinch Hippo seems to be the most iconic Fantasia-original character. This is also one of the few genuinely hilarious Fantasia shorts. Even if half the jokes are fat jokes, they're usually fat jokes on the alligators being out of their depth as predators trying to hunt hippos and elephants, not on the hippos and elephants, who are as nimble and graceful as ballerinas should be. And the dancing is really creative and energetic.

Symphony No. 5 (light butterflies vs dark bats). Pretty basic "good vs evil" story, with abstract shapes to introduce the animation to music concept, similar to Toccata and Fugue in the original Fantasia. Except this short is much better than Toccata and Fugue because it actually has characters and a plot.

Night on Bald Mountain (demons and monks). As cool as the demons are, the entire second half with the monks really drags it down. That's probably just a me thing, though. As a Jew, anything Christian is just super annoying. I totally understand other people rating it much higher.

The Rite of Spring (dinosaurs). I liked this one as a kid, but nowadays, the inaccuracies in the dinosaur portrayals are too infuriating to ignore. The beginning with the world forming was longer than I remember, and the water animation here is really nice.

Piano Concerto No. 2, Allegro, Opus 102 (The Steadfast Tin Soldier). Well, it sure is "Disney's 'The Steadfast Tin Soldier'", complete with a changed happy ending. Obviously it was inspired by Toy Story, but it doesn't really get across the same feeling. Not bad, just kind of mediocre.

The Nutcracker Suite. (flora, fauna, and fairies dance the changing of the seasons). This short always reminds me of Little April Showers from Bambi. Would rank better, except there's quite a bit of racism. Between the Chinese mushrooms, Arabian fish, and Russian flowers, literally half the short (3/6 segments) is stereotypes. Not sure why Disney isn't more ashamed of this short, since they censored The Pastoral Symphony.

The Pastoral Symphony (greek centaur party). Racism issue. Even in the censored version, there's still some racism left like the black zebra centaurs who carry Bacchus in and then don't get to participate in the party. The story is also lame and doesn't really amount to anything. They were gonna have a match-making centaur party, but then Zeus crashed it. That's it.

The Carnival of the Animals, Finale (flamingo with a yo-yo). Cute, but really underwhelming. Decent music synch, but it's just forgettable. Doesn't help that the flamingo is actually annoying to the audience.

Meet the Soundtrack (a white line). Boring. More interesting and humorous than Toccata and Fugue, but still lame.

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (abstract lines and shapes). The first short of the first Fantasia sucks. I thought it was boring as a kid, I think it's boring now. I guess it's okay as an introduction to the concept, but I don't really think "animation set to music" was such a revolutionary idea that it needed an introduction, even in 1940.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Reprise). Sorry, but I legitimately hate that they just repeated Mickey's short again in Fantasia 2000, with no changes. Complete waste of time.

Re-Impressions: Fantasia (1940)

Like many others, when I was a child, the only reason I wanted to watch Fantasia was to see the “Sorceror’s Apprentice” segment, which I enjoyed every time. Yes, the dancing crocodiles and hippos were fun, and the mountain monster near the end was impressive, if you could stay awake that long. But the rest of the movie was boring.

I’m afraid I haven’t matured enough since: I have trouble enjoying the abstract segments because I‘m impatient to get to the “good parts” that have narrative structure. Alas, I too am a Philistine.

The host introduces the first section (Toccata and Fugue in D Minor) by essentially saying, “First you’ll see this, and then you’ll see that,” and I want to tell him, “Get on with it! You don’t have to tell us what we’ll see, just show it and let us judge for ourselves!” Then I realize, when Fantasia first appeared he DID have to explain what audiences were going to see. It was too new and different.

The host said The Nutcracker was seldom seen but we would probably recognize the music. Was he making a joke or was it only after his time that The Nutcracker became a Christmas staple across the U.S.? (But he did say “opera,” was he separating that from the ballet?)

-sultry fish enact a veil dance

-the dancing mushrooms are simply adorable if you manage to not think of them as racial stereotypes

-cute seasonal pixies make leaves and snowflakes dance to Tchaikovsky

Okay, now, when the host describes the plot of “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” right before we see it, that IS unnecessary and ridiculous.

Despite awesome dramatic shots of volcanoes and dinosaurs, the “Rite of Spring” segment really drags.

Who thought of pegasoi as waterfowl?

Somehow when I was a child the bathing sequence of topless female centaurs failed to register.

I really have to think these two centaur mares have something going on.

Right, there are ostrich ballerinas too. (A brilliant choice.)

OH. And not just ONE hippo ballerina. Because that wouldn’t be enough.

The early part of “Night on Bald Mountain” features a marvelous effect for the rising ghosts, like curled paper wisping above the background.

The early part of “Ave Maria” shows the beauty of the multiplane camera, as we look through trees at the procession.

The movie as a whole just might possibly perhaps be a smidge too long. Just maybe.

Either Disney animators didn't know and didn't care the ballerina ostriches are boys or someone knew they were creating drag queen avian dinosaurs pantsless thunder geese.

Drawgust 24 - Fantasia meets Fantasia 2000 by me!

It's time for another Drawgust drawing, & today's piece is a piece of movie fanart that deals in stark contrasts. To clarify, this is fanart for Walt Disney's magnum opus Fantasia & its sequel Fantasia 2000. Some of you know that Fantasia is my favorite movie of all time. I also happen to think that Fantasia 2000 is a very good follow-up, even if it's not nearly as good as the original. I thought it would be fun to do something that illustrates how different the two movies are. So, I drew a piece where the lead ostrich, I believer her name is Madame Upanova, from the Dance of the Hours segment in the original Fantasia comes across the yo-yo playing flamingo from the Carnival of the Animals segment of Fantasia 2000. She is very confused by fast paced silliness of this flamingo, which is a stark contrast to the more dignified comedy she partakes in. Enjoy!

[dontpetcreations]

Most people believe the Nectarina is a ballerina who was magically transformed into a nectarine by a witch or a wizard or a Starbucks barista. This is false. In fact, the Nectarina is a nectarine that spent over two decades deep in the jungles of Antarctica learning the mystical art of fruit ballet by world-famous ballet coach Sir Reginald McTablecloth.
