Hippo in a Tutu: Dancing in Disney Animation
- Used Book in Good Condition
The ballet for hippo ballerinas and their crocodile cavaliers (plus a corps de ballet of ostriches and elephants) set to Ponchielliâ€™s â€œDance of the Hoursâ€ in Fantasia (1940) is one of the best-loved scenes in all the Disney animated features. Many viewers may not realize, however, that this ballet is no mere generalized parody of ballet mannerisms, but is in fact a deeply informed, affectionate parody of a famous scene choreographed by George Balanchine for the film Goldwyn Follies (1938) and starring his wife, the ballerina movie star Vera Zorina.

With this sequence as a point of departure,Â Hippo in a TutuÂ examines the roles that dance, dancing, and choreography play in the Disney animated shorts and features. This profusely-illustratedÂ chronicleÂ both analyzes and celebrates dance in the Disney studiosâ€™ work, while also investigating behind the scenes to find out how Disneyâ€™s animated dance sequences have been made.
