Geronimo1967
The forest awakens and rubs the sleep from it's eyes. The trees, birds, insects and even the bats emerge from the arms of Morpheus in varying humours ready to start their day. One of the trees is enraptured and serenades his intended with some hastily improvised harp music whilst his friend orchestrates a chorus of chirping and the sunflowers present a perfectly choreographed dance. She's gracious enough, but having none of it until pursued by a grisly old stump who has evil designs on her delicate boughs! A duel ensues and with a fire soon ablaze, all must flee for their very lives to find a pond or a stream and hope for some rain. A fine combination of Schubert and Rossini accompanies this enjoyable animation that shows us a bit of the fickleness of affection but also, more seriously, the effects fire can have on nature and of it's recuperative powers afterwards!
