Set to the familiar strains of Beethoven's classic symphony, director Pixote Hunt's uses abstract imagery and a beautiful pastel palette to tell this tale of good vs. evil. The story follows a great controversy between two groups of objects, differing in shape and color, and the buildup to a climactic confrontation. Using an innovative approach that texture-maps pastel colors onto traditional hand-drawn animation as well as some dazzling computer-generated effects, this fantasy takes flight. Hunt, a talented animator, art director (''The Rescuers Down Under''), and director (''The Pagemaster''), conceived this segment and saw it through from storyboard to completion.
