SPOOF OF 'FANTASIA'?


That's what Wikipedia called this cartoon.
But while it is a masterpiece, a far better spoof was "A Corny Concerto", with Elmer Fudd and his uncontrollable cummerbund portraying Deems Taylor.
Absolutely hilarious!

I wish that Boomerang Network would air more of these old WB classics.
But no--we have to have four hours of THE GARFIELD SHOW every day, or a series of fifth-rate Tom & Jerry cartoons!
I wish Ted Turner would return to running CN and Boomerang; when he was in charge, they were great.

It's a spoof of Richard Wagner's opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen.

It can be considered a remake of a WWII propaganda cartoon, in which Bugs torments Hermann Goering. The sequence of Bugs as Brunhilde is almost exactly the same, down to the big fat horse.

The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
