Hyacinth Hippo was the prima ballerina of the famous dancing hippos in Walt Disney's Fantasia. Hyacinth is the real star of the piece, for she does not depart with the rest of her entourage but remains, asleep, through the elephants' dance, and she is the first living thing encountered by the alligators. The highlight of the sequence begins when Ben Ali Gator, the leader of the alligator troupe, sets his lecherous eyes on the dozing behemoth in the transparent tutu and immediately falls in love with her. She wears a yellow tutu and ballet slippers. Hyacinth Hippo's troupe wear pink tutus and ballet slippers.
