EL SALON MEXICO

Wonderful animation. Lovely story, beautiful rich colors. This non-narrative piece tells a story with background music by Aaron Copland. The characters are quite fanciful as is the action. If Diego Rivera had made animation, this is what it would look like. Absolutely fun and lovely.

A fantasy, set in Mexico in the 1800's and woven into the musical composition by Aaron Copland. It is the story of a very young campesino who, along with his burro and rooster, sneaks out of the house one night to see a fiesta for the very first time.
