Carnival of the Animals

Classical music and cutout animation are a match made in musical heaven in this brilliant 20-minute film by Aria Covamonas. A series of funny and surreal animated stories are paired with the fourteen movements of French composer Camille Saint-Saëns’ musical suite The Carnival of the Animals. Each movement stars a different animal, from the regal lion to the slowest tortoise.
