Bugs and Daffy's Carnival of the Animals...

This is a link to Bugs and Daffy playing Carnival of the Animals.  It's great. I sat all the way through it on summer vacation, so it has to be good.  

Bugs and Daffy begin with a lengthy argument over how to pronounce Saint-Saens, which I think will really drive the point home and help the kids remember who the composer is.   

Also, it does a great job of showing the orchestra and conductor as well as animation showing an interpretation of the composer's intent.  

It's made me want to construct a themes set of lessons based on each animal.  (Maybe skipping the Wild Jackass.)
