animated sequence?

Fischinger's animation became a sequence within the film, showing consumer products emanating from a radio broadcasting tower

Just watched it and saw no animated sequence whatsoever. Consumer products emanating fro ma radio broadcasting tower? I couldn't have possibly missed something so asinine.

It looks to me like it was scrapped from the film entirely or it was actually part of a different Big Broadcast.

I didn't see an animated sequence, either; thought for sure I'd missed an entire portion of the movie! Sounds like maybe it wasn't that big of a deal. What I'd like to see again is the song-and-dance production of "La Bomba" (remember the guys with the huge sun hats and the undulating girls?). Looked on YouTube---no luck. Don't even know who the singer was. I think it was supposed to be Cuba, or somewhere hot and steamy like that.
