Musical Moments from Chopin is an Andy Panda cartoon, co-starring Woody Woodpecker, made in 1946. As the name implies, it is a treatment of music by Frédéric Chopin, with animated nonsense as accompaniment.
The Video
This clip starts with Andy Panda performing Chopin on stage, but he is immediately upstaged by Woody Woodpecker, as they play together on the same grand piano. In the next song, another piano is added, and then there are increasing cut-aways to the animal audience and their own antics.
This film, part of the Musical Miniatures series, was nominated for an Academy Award.
