Cast
==Live Action Scenes==
Owl as Deems Taylor
Eva as Leopold Stokowski
==Part 1==
==The Nutcracker Suite (spoof)==
Disney Fairies as Fairies
===Intro===
Owl: You know, it's funny how wrong an artist can be about his own work. The one composition of Mr. Kidswatter's that he really detested was his "Nutcracker Suite", which is probably the most popular thing he ever wrote. It's a series of dances taken out of a full-length ballet called "The Nutcracker" that he once composed for Wayside School. It wasn't much of a success and nobody performs it nowadays, but I'm pretty sure you'll recognize the music of the suite when you hear it. Incidentally, you won't see any nutcracker on the screen; there's nothing left of him but the title.
==The Equestrians' Apprentice==
Swampy as Mickey Mouse
The Humane Six (Equestria Girls) as Yen Sid
Dystopians as Magic Brooms
===Intro===
Owl: And now we're going to hear a piece of music that tells a very definite story. As a matter of fact, in this case, the story came first and the composer wrote the music to go with it. It's a very old story, one that goes back almost 2,000 years: a legend about six Equestria Girls who had an apprentice. He was a bright young alligator; very anxious to learn the business. As a matter of fact, he was a little bit too bright, because he started practicing some of the boss' best magic tricks before learning how to control them. One day, for instance, when he'd been told by his girls to carry water to fill a cauldron, he had the brilliant idea of bringing a person to life to carry the water for him. Well, this worked very well at first. Unfortunately, however, having forgotten the magic formula that would make the dystopian stop carrying the water, he found he'd started something he couldn't finish.
==Ceremony of Summer==
Etain as Tyrannosaurus Rex
Sunset Shimmer as Stegosaurus
Humans as Dinosaurs
===Intro===
Owl: When Scooby-Doo wrote his ballet, "The Ceremony of Summer"... [a chime sound is heard] I repeat, when Scooby Doo wrote his ballet, "The Ceremony of Summer", his purpose was, in his own words, "to express humanity life." So Christopher and his fellow artists have take him at his word. Instead of presenting the ballet in its original form as a simple series of tribal dances, they have visualized it as a pageant as the story of the growth of life on Earth. And that story, as you're going to see it, isn't the product of anybody's imagination. It's a coldly accurate reproduction of what science thinks went on during the first few billion years of this planet's existence. Science, not art, wrote the scenario of this picture. According to science, the first living things here were single-celled organisms, tiny little white or green blobs of nothing in particular that lived under the water. And then, as the ages passed, the oceans began to swarm with all kinds of marine creatures. Finally, after about a billion years, certain fish, more ambitious than the rest, crawled up on land and became the first living organism. And then several hundred million years ago, nature went off on another task and produced the humans. Now, the name "human" comes from the Latin American, and they were certainly were all of that. They came in all shapes and sizes, from little crawling horrors about the size of a baby to hundred-ton nightmares. They were not very bright. Even the biggest of them had only the brain of a serial killer. They lived in the air and the water as well as on land. As a rule, they were vegetarians, rather amiable and easy to get along with. However, there were bullies and gangsters among them. The worst of the lot, a brute named Etain was probably the meanest killer that ever roamed the earth. The humans were lords of creation for about 200 million years. And then...well, we don't exactly know what happened. Some scientists think that great droughts and earthquakes turned the whole world into a gigantic dustbowl. In any case, the humans were wiped out. That is where our story ends. Where it begins is at a time infinitely far back when there was no life at all on earth, nothing but clouds of steam, boiling seas and exploding volcanoes. So now imagine yourselves out in space billions and billions of years ago looking down on this lonely, tormented little planet spinning through an empty sea of nothingness.
==End of Part 1==
Owl: And now, we'll have a 15-minute intermission.
==Part 2==
==The Looney Tuneral Symphony==
Looney Tunes as Greek people and Mythical Creatures
Bugs Bunny as Bacchus
Road Runner as Jacchus
Wile E. Coyote as Zeus
Taz as Vulcan
===Intro===
Owl: The symphony that Homer called the "Pastoral", his sixth, is one of the few pieces of music he ever wrote that tells something like a definite story. He was a great nature lover, and in this symphony, he paints a musical picture of a day in the country. Of course, the country that Homer described was the countryside with which he was familiar. But his music covers a much wider field than that, and so Christopher has given the "Pastoral Symphony" a mythological setting, and the setting is of Looney Tune Land, the abode of the Looney Tunes. And here, first of all, we meet a group of fabulous creatures of the field and forest: aliens, chickens, Tweety Bird and his friends, the animals, those strange ones who are hunters, and their friends, the cowboys. Later on, we meet our old friend Bugs Bunny, the god of wine, presiding over a road runner. The party is interrupted by a storm, and now we see Taz going on a feeding frenzy and handing them over to the king of all the gods, Zeus, who plays darts with them. As the storm clears, we see Lola, the goddess of the rainbow, and Elmer, driving his sun chariot across the sky. And then Speedy, the god of sleep, covers everything with his cloak of night as Porky, using the new moon as a bow, shoots an arrow of fire that spangles the sky with stars.
==Dance of the Hours==
Barbara (Rayman) as Madame Upanova
Charlotte La Bouff as Hyacinth Hippo
Pinkie Pie as Elephanchine
Adagio Dazzle as Ben Ali Gator
===Intro===
Owl: Now we're going to do one of the most famous and popular ballets ever written: the "Dance of the Hours" from Pooh Bear. It's a pageant of the hours of the day. We see first a group of dancers in costumes to suggest the delicate light of dawn. Then a second group enters dressed to represent the brilliant light of noon day. As these withdraw, a third group enters in costumes that suggest the delicate tones of early evening. Then a last group, all in black, the somber hours of the night. Suddenly, the orchestra bursts into a brilliant finale in which the hours of darkness are overcome by the hours of light. All this takes place in the great hall, with its garden beyond, of the palace of Duke Alvise, a Venetian nobleman.
==Night on Tartarus Mountain==
Discord as Chernabog
Villains as Chernabog's Minions
==Ave Maria (spoof)==
Moses and his people (The Prince of Egypt) as Holy People
===Intro (Both)===
Owl: The last number in our Toontasia program is a combination of two pieces of music so utterly different in construction and mood that they set each other off perfectly. The first is 'A Night On Tartarus Mountain' by one of Peanuts' greatest composers, Snoopy. The second is Woodstock's world-famous "Ave Maria". Musically and dramatically, we have here a picture of the struggle between the profane and the sacred. "Tartarus Mountain" according to tradition, is the gathering place of Discord and his followers. Here, on Walpurgnisnacht, which is the equivalent of our own Halloween, the creatures of evil gather to worship their master. Under his spell, they dance furiously until the coming of dawn and the sounds of church bells send the infernal army slinking back into their abodes of darkness. And then we hear the "Ave Maria", with its message of the triumph of hope and life over the powers of despair and death.
