The Cartoon Scene:
A scene from A Corny Concerto, a 1943 Warner Brothers Looney Tune that was meant to be a send-up of Disney's Fantasia, as it was composed of two satirical symphony pieces. I love this short - a classic WB 'toon - but what I find interesting is the content of the sequence shown.

The cartoon's second segment is set to the strains of the "Blue Danube," and centers around a duckling -- who bears a striking resemblance to a young Daffy -- who attempts to join a family of swans, but is continually rebuffed by the swan mother. Much of the waltz is actually sung by the swans; when the young duck joins in, his loud, off-key quacks give him away. However, when a vulture steals the young swans, it's up to the ugly duckling to come to the rescue.

Thoughts?

How'd you find out what the cartoon was? I didn't see enough of it in the program to be able to tell much other than it looked very old-style.

Maybe the Others are the vulture(s) while Jack, Kate, and Sawyer are the young swans so the ugly duckling of the Losties (Hurley maybe as the one seemingly least likely to brave such a task) is the one who figures out how to rescue them?
