Sparky's Magic Piano Animated Version
In 1987, “Sparky’s Magic Piano” was animated for television, and was later released on video, but is now out of print. The animated version features an expanded story running 51 minutes. The pace of the story is greatly slowed: Sparky is portrayed with less innocence; he has acquired a dog named Rags; his father is given a much bigger role; and a bumbling music critic has been added to the cast who is out to prove Sparky is a fraud. The voice cast includes Vincent Price, Coral Browne, Tony Curtis, Cloris Leachman, Josh Rodine, Mel Blanc, and William Schallert, with orchestration by Lalo Schifrin and piano music by Leonard Pennario.
