Disney's trippiest lullaby: frogs, fireflies, and fever dreams set to Strauss.
The moon and two owls sing to the Blue Danube Waltz, celebrating the night. Moths dance around a candle flame, fireflies glow, frogs chorus, and so forth.
Score
Strauss waltz + frog chorus = unhinged Disney magic.
Director
Walt Disney
