These drawing boards have been the birthplace of some of most beloved animal characters of all time. So it’s no surprise that they choose for our next segment, “The Carnival of the Animals” by Camille Saint-Saëns. Here the sensitive strains of impressionistic music combine with the subtle artistry of the animator to finally answer that age old question: What is man’s relationship to nature? Oh, sorry… That age old question: What would happen if you gave a yo-yo to a flock of flamingos? Who wrote this?

Annie, there’s a big lobster behind the refrigerator. I can’t get it out. This thing’s heavy. Maybe if I put a little dish of butter sauce here with a nutcracker, it will run out the other side.

We cannot break bread with you. You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs. We will sell our bracelets by the road sides, you will play golf, and enjoy hot hors d’oeuvres. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They have said, “Do not trust the Pilgrims, especially Sarah Miller.” And for all these reasons I have decided to scalp you and burn your village to the ground.
