Talk:A Corny Concerto

Untitled

I have tried to add just a little bit more infomation about this short. I'm not sure about this but is the cartoon in the Public Domain? and if so should there be a mention? BTW. this article needs to be alot clearer, but I'm not sure that I have my facts right :) -anon

Changed 'fighter' reference

I changed the reference to a fighter airplane in 'Blue Danube' from 'jet fighter' to 'P-40 Warhawk' which was actually shown in the cartoon. Joeylawn 23:29, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Deems Taylor and other Disney jokes

If you've ever seen a version of Fantasia which has the Deems Taylor narrations the way they're originally filmed (i.e. he appears onscreen, not just in voiceover), you may think, as I do, that Elmer's appearance in this is meant to make fun of Taylor (note the glasses), not Stokowski. Also, there are several visual gags in this which are jokes not just on Fantasia, but on Disney's Silly Symphonies (there's a joke involving the trees from the "Flowers and Trees" short, for example). 24.61.60.37 22:12, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Overwritten and fannish and vague, oh my

The description of the short is overlong and overdetailed. It also features a lot of uncited and frankly irrelevant material, such speculation that a ducking is Daffy Duck. The language is also imprecise, failing to distinguish between the generic term "cartoon" (which could encompass those made for TV) and the most accurate and specific "theatrical short subject cartoon". I am going to start trying to fix this.MrNeutronSF (talk) 08:31, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

I completed a rewrite of the description to address the above concerns. However, the analysis section still reads as fannish. MrNeutronSF (talk) 21:19, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Not Necessarily Daffy Duck

There is no evidence that the little black duckling seen in the final segment of the cartoon is Daffy Duck. While it has the same coloration it never speaks and is never named. It may be Daffy Duck, but it also may not be.MrNeutronSF (talk) 05:45, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

But Fantasia was NOT a Silly Symphony!

The opening passage says that this cartoon spoofs Walt Disney's "Silly Symphonies" series and specifically "Fantasia." I don't know if this is just poor wording or what, but I do know it is WRONG. The Silly Symphonies were the short (one-reel) Disney cartoons that did not feature Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck or any of Disney's regular stars. The most famous example is probably "The Three Little Pigs." Despite the name "Silly Symphonies," these cartoons rarely had anything to do with classical music. "Fantasia," on the other hand, was a feature film that of course DID feature classical music. It was not part of the Silly Symphonies series at all. The word "specifically" is therefore the most misleading aspect of the passage, but imo, the whole paragraph should be junked. 66.44.16.110 (talk) 17:50, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
