Years ago I saw a movie about a magic player piano that could travel between worlds. However, other than that one broadcast on tv, I haven't been able to find any trace of it. Does anyone recognize this description?
Story line:
Main character - Pontaville Puck - has a soul destroying job, and lives by himself in a house on top of a hill
One day, in response to Puck's prayer "I wish, wish wish, I could get away from it all", a variant angel turns up, and offers him a chance to change his life
The variant angel offers Puck a magic player piano that travels between worlds
Puck travels to several worlds
In the Arabian Nights world, Puck meets and falls madly in love with Neefa-Feefa, a belly dancing harem girl/princess
Puck and Neefa-Feefa try to run off together
The captain of the guard breaks the auto-return "Twitch'em Switch'em", retakes Neefa-Feefa, and sends Puck off to a random world
Puck searches through a medly of random worlds, trying to find his way back to Neefa-Feefa
The variant angels have a musical number, "Pontaville Puck, Where the Heck Are You?" as they scour the worlds trying to find Puck
Puck finally finds his way bay to the Arabian Nights world and rescues Neefa-Feefa
The player piano is trashed, but in response to Neefa-Feefa's prayer ("I wish, wish, wish we could get away from it all") the variant angels turn up and air lift Puck, her, and the piano off into the sunsetA couple other features of the movie:
The variant angels didn't fly with wings - if memory serves, they actually flew with helicopter beenies
Playing a specific sequence of notes opened a panel on the piano, behind which was a series of buttons. Each button functioned as a hot-key for a particular world, and set the piano playing
Puck could also play the specific song for each world to go to it, or twitch a special hooked switch (the Twitch'em Switch'em) on the side to initiate an emergency escape mode
The animation style reminded me heavily of Dr. Seuss, put it doesn't appear to be based on a Seuss book (at least not one that i can findDoes anyone recognize this movie?
