Fruit Orchestra Scene in this Film ...

It's just too special to not be seen here too    .

It's my top favorite scene in this movie as well  .

I like to think there is someone, somewhere, who saw this film when they were very young, forgot all about it, and now wonders why they crave fruit whenever they hear the song "Our Love Affair."

So interesting to learn it was done by George Pal, the great animator. According to TCM, it was an early work for him, he wasn't well known, so he wasn't credited.

That is a very interesting bit of trivia Schmoozette
I didn't know about that either   .
I guess George Pal was a memorable man of many artist talents
when it came to film  .

Thanks Schmoozette for sharing this with us here and for your reply  .

I agree same here practicepiano it's always a pleasure chatting with you
on whatever board we happen to meet on as well 
( at least if we were on a vacation perhaps Willoughby
we might run into Gart Williams also ? )   .

Although it's funny I am watching " a marathon " today
just not a TZ one which is quite a change for me
this time around   .

 Well practicepiano would you instead settle for a vacation in the peaceful town of " Oakwood "  ?

We definitely would run into the only other person there - Mike Ferris
whom was also vacationing there for a very short time too   .

I know I would enjoy that place for a few days - very peaceful indeed   .
