The story of the little elephant Babar (based on the children's book by Jean de Brunhoff, music by Francis Poulenc), who flees to a city and finds joy in the lives of humans.
The story of the young bull Ferdinand (based on the children's book by Munro Leaf, music by Alan Ridout), who has different preferences than his battle-hungry peers and
Saint-Saëns' famous Carnival of the Animals in a poetic reinterpretation.
