Sergei Prokofiev’s symphonic masterpiece, first performed in Russia in 1936, has been lauded not only for the spectacular musical score, but also for the story itself–of a young boy who outwits a wily wolf. George Daugherty brings this timeless tale to modern audiences by seamlessly weaving live-action with animation and music by the RCA Symphony Orchestra. The story opens as a grandfather (Lloyd Bridges) hosts his daughter (Kirstie Alley) and grandson (Ross Malinger from Sleepless in Seattle) during a visit to his country cottage. After lunch, the trio settles in as grandfather recounts “The Story” of Peter’s adventures with a bird, cat, and dizzy duck on the outskirts “of a very dark forest.” The film morphs into a clever cartoon designed by the legendary Chuck Jones (of Wile E. Coyote fame). The “story within a story” leaps to life while the accompanying musical instruments also emerge as playful personalities.
