If you call trippin on acid culturally sophisticated.
I meant the classical music merged with cartoons in such a way as to be palatable to the general public.
Classical music doesn't beget culture.
Besides, they used classical music only because the Grateful Dead weren't on the scene.
I kid.
Seriously though - its a pretty whacked out film. Boring as hell too. Ill take the Lion King anyday.
Since you haven't tried to explain "culturally sophisticated" I'll use my own definition. And it's not alligators and hippos dancing to classical music. I consider many other Disney films (both animated and live action) to be better quality, more entertaining, and more culturally significant / sophisticated.
