You can't blame the filmmakers for wanting to use Grieg's most famous piece of music in a way that would entertain children. The intention was to create a sequence much like the puppet show scene in THE SOUND OF MUSIC. I thought it was fine.  Unfortunately alot of critics did. This was the scene at 1:08 that lead film critic PAULINE KAEL to use the line, "who could anticipate the pasty pudgy faces".
