La Danse des heures est un court métrage d'animation américain réalisé par Walt Disney Productions comme une séquence de Fantasia (1940) basée sur la Danse des heures, ballet tiré de l'opéra La Gioconda d'Amilcare Ponchielli.

Le ballet est ici dansé par des hippopotames, des éléphants, des autruches et des crocodiles qui rivalisent de grâce et de virtuosité mais qui finissent dans un joyeux fracas.

Synopsis

Des portes s'ouvrent et des rideaux se lèvent laissant apparaître une autruche assoupie habillée en danseuse d'opéra avec des ballerines roses. Elle s'éveille et réveille d'autres danseuses, en ballerines bleues, qui après quelques pas se regroupent au pied d'un escalier pour entamer leur danse. Les danseuses passent en revue les pas et figures habituels d'un ballet tout en mangeant les fruits d'une corne d'abondance. Poursuivant et voulant manger le raisin de la première danseuse, elles sortent dans une cour entourée par une colonnade avec en son centre un bassin.

After singing the film's signature song "When You Wish Upon a Star", Jiminy Cricket explains that he is going to tell a story of a wish coming true. His story begins in the Tuscany workshop of a woodworker named Geppetto. Jiminy watches as Geppetto finishes work on a wooden marionette whom he names Pinocchio (a name his cat Figaro and fish Cleo both dislike). Before falling asleep, Geppetto makes a wish on a star that Pinocchio would be a real boy. During the night, a Blue Fairy visits the workshop and brings Pinocchio to life, although he still remains a puppet. She informs him that if he proves himself brave, truthful, and unselfish he will become a real boy and assigns Jiminy to be his conscience.
