Fantasia
Madame Upanova is in a segment called "Dance of the Hours". She appears in the beginning with all her Ostrich students. She wakes herself and all of them up as the curtains open. Her pirouette is caused by their reach over her as it is thrusted up high with lots of feathers shed. As she feeds some Ostriches some fruit from the conch, she tries to eat the purple grapes she holds in her beak and get away from the squabbling of all her students. As the Ostriches pursue her, one of them makes her drop the grapes, resulting in them to drop into the water, and they all flee from the bubbles coming from the fountain.
