Weren't the Pomp and Circumstance Marches used for the Donald Duck/Noah's
Ark sequence? I thought that the flamingos with yoyo's was to Saint-Saens'
"Carnival of the Animals." I liked some of the bits better than
others--actually, the flamingos were among my favorites, alongside the
flying whales accompanied by Respighi--but I think Danny's right:  it's
a lot of fun.
