Anthropomorphic cat and rabbit paranormal investigators explore a flooded stone tunnel with a ghost ballerina and giant
This whimsical dark fantasy digital artwork features two furry paranormal researchers, a blonde cat with a camcorder and blue-haired rabbit with an EMF meter, exploring a damp, vaulted flooded medieval stone tunnel. A glowing translucent ghost ballerina floats above dark rippling water beside a large pale whiskered catfish, lit by warm wall mounted torches casting soft golden reflections. The mood is playfully spooky, with a mix of cool ethereal blue and warm earthy brown tones.

Catwalk: walking under the Paris Opera House along the underwater lake (cistern) on Friday There really is a huge underwater "lake" cistern under the Paris Opera House. Firefighters go there to practice rescue diving in dark waters. There are rumors of a ballerina ghost. @panos told me about the cistern. The cistern is closed off to the public for health and safety reasons. Also there really is large catfish there because 100 years ago or so an employee let a family of catfish free into the waters. The catfish are considered mascots so no one eats them. According to Paris fire brigade tradition, some personnel say that it has been a symbolic custom to add a fish to the water to honor the memory of certain firefighters.

it feels like it has something to do with different copyright laws. I have found that when I can't see a European YT music video, there's another one often just like it that I can see. I don't know if some scene are cut or added or if there is some other differences. With this one since I can't see it, I don't know if it's just a scene or music. It doesn't happen often tho.

I'm assuming that if it lives underground all the time, it would be pale but I'm probably wrong. They just there was catfish there but I haven't seen an actual description

CaylaCatz

oh I can't view it in the USA. I see the title tho and it says Phantom of the Opera

I have many credits expiring this week, so I figured you could make better use of them than I could! 😎👍

antares

Intriguing place! Maybe they are training to pursue a career as Private Eyes... 😎

panos

Sealine

Interesting! Love learning fun bits of information!

Awesome—what a massive albino catfish!

panos

Well, it's the part of the actual movie where the phantom takes Chrstine to his fantastic ream under the oper (including the lake) and they sing their famous duet. I don't know. Do a search on your youtube : 'phantom of the opera - christine duet, movie" perhaps there will be a clip that you can watch.

Your theory is correct, but such an adaptation would require a very long time; besides, as is the case throughout the animal kingdom, albino catfish do exist—so it’s most likely that it’s just one of those.
