  • The evil monkey in Boléro starts off as a confused inhabitant of the forest, who later leaves with the rest of the animals. Bitter about it, the monkey starts off as a Jerkass whose purpose is to frighten the other animals during the march. However as it discovers the use of tools, it becomes more vile as it begins murdering other animals in order to take their place in the line of evolution and begins to burn animals to death with sickening delight after discovering fire and by the finale (through leaping ahead of the line by a long shot) all the animals have either perished in the emerging buildings or turned into construction machines in the construction of its new civilization, while a towering giant admires his work. The giant's face cracks to reveal the monkey, grinning maliciously.

  • The finale. The animator and the cleaning woman turn into a cartoon knight and princess and fly off, leaving the Director scrambling to find an ending for the film. He calls Franceschini, an Igor-like servant, on the phone and asks him to find a suitable ending, leading to a strange parade of final scenes set to the final measures of various classical pieces. Eventually the Conductor, who was knocked through the floor after the Vivaldi piece, re-appears covered in bandages, and as he and the Director wonder how to finish the film, the view pulls back to reveal Franceschini watching them on a miniature stage... which he smashes to reveal the snake from the Firebird sequence, which bites him on the nose. Cue the words "HAPPY END" falling on them, followed by the end credits!

  • Moment: Though it's more True Neutral as it is done during the march of evolution, a sauropod creature saves an aquatic life form from being eaten by a squid life form.

  • The Vivaldi sequence opens with a visual allusion to Vivaldi's most famous work, "The Four Seasons".
