Proposed segments for the film included a battle between an ice god and a sun goddess set to ''[[Finlandia]]'' by Sibelius, one set in the [[Andes]] to the songs of [[Yma Sumac]], another featuring caricatures of [[Louis Armstrong]] and [[Ella Fitzgerald]] and an adaptation of [[The Nightingale (fairy tale)|The Emperor's Nightingale]] which would have featured Mickey as the nightingale's owner, similar to his role in ''The Sorcerer's Apprentice''. The project was shelved in favor of ''[[Mickey's Christmas Carol]]'',{{sfn|Solomon|1995|p=154}} though the artwork made for The Emperor's Nightingale would later be used for a book adaptation by Teddy Slater in 1992. [[Roy E.
