Music played during 'moth room' scene?


During the scene where Peter enters the room that is filled with moths, music is played that is very familiar to me. I know I have heard this music somewhere before in another movie or on television. Does anyone know what other movie this music is from, or what the title of the music piece is? Thanks!

Saint-Saens: Carnival of the Animals - Aquarium. Not sure what else this has been used in, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone had re-worked it or copied the melody.
Enjoy!

Yep - it is indeed "Aquarium" by Saint-Saens. From Wikipedia:

Aquarium is featured in the trailers for the 1994 film Only You, the 1974 film The Godfather Part II, the 2006 film Charlotte's Web and the 2008 film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and appears to be one of the influences on the main theme in Walt Disney's Beauty and the Beast. It is also the opening theme music to the 1978 film Days of Heaven and the opening and closing theme in the 1992 film documentary, Visions of Light. In the Simpsons episode "The Wife Aquatic", Aquarium is played throughout. It is also heard in the video game Crash Tag Team Racing, and along with "Swan" is part of the soundtrack of the video game Burnout Paradise (2008 edition).
