Carnaval Des Animaux (Le)

Hermes.com > The Story Behind

A river flows from the top of a hill, bringing with it a horde of animals. In Thibaut Huchard's jungle-like world, lions come out of the woods to join dogs jumping from bank to bank, while turtles enjoy the water slide. Gentle pink flamingos observe a troupe of kangaroos. A donkey rests under a palm tree, surprised that a herd of skeleton horses are given new life by the waters of a fountain of eternal youth. Anything can happen at a carnival! A swan takes a bow, while perched on the head of an elephant carrying a lion on its back. As we sing along to Camille Saint-Saens' original score, represented on the scarf, we have just one desire: to dive into this wonderful world!
