Hamming it up in Corny-gie Hall

August 9, 2007

Yesterday’s entry celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the Warner Bros. classic cartoon, What’s Opera, Doc? Today, an early parody of Disney’s Fantasia. This 1943 Warner short, A Corny Concerto, puts the maestro’s gloves on Elmer Fudd’s four-fingered hands. Bugs, Porky and a family of swans (ugly duckling included) spoof Fantasia to the tune of two Strauss waltzes: Tales of the Vienna Woods and On the Beautiful Blue Danube.
