Parodies of ballet used to be somewhat funny but not in today's sensibilities. At least I hope not. Even though "Odette" (Swan Queen here) obviously can do some ballet steps; simple as they are, they look difficult to do in an ape costume. Seems a mix of boys and girls. Somehow I knew the curtain call flowers would be bananas.
@Riches - I don't think it has anything to do with today's "sensibilities" as apposed to the general lack of knowledge and appreciation of ballet in today's culture.
