CLASSICISM WITH DANCING HIPPOPOTAMUSES
If this doesn't cheer you up a bit...
The brilliant version of Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours from Disney's 1940 film Fantasia. Notice the slightly absurd, very formal pieces of architecture and lanscaping. And watch it in fullscreen mode. ("Hippopotamuses"! How I love the English language.)
Edit 8th May 2012: Had to find the video somewhere else on Youtube, as the one I posted originally has been removed. Please ignore the voice speaking (in what sounds like a slavonic language) during the first twenty seconds; it disappears quickly.

Oh, this takes me back! This was always my favourite bit of Fantasia.
