Farmyard Symphony

Farmyard Symphony

NR 1938 · 8 min · ★ 6.5 · Animation, Music

The farm comes to life, to various classical tunes. The high point is a rooster serenading a chicken, with all the animals joining in. But then comes the sound that's even more welcome to the animals: the farmer and his wife with food (the only actual words spoken).
