Not watching the Olympics opening ceremony, but just from mastodon posts I gather there is: a nude Smurf, a piano on fire, and a robotic horse walking on water. Have I got that about correct?

@pseudonym "Horse walking on water" was being sped along the Seine by a some sort of submarine, like something from a James Bond movie.
Altogether spectacular, but lots of random bits of contemporary dance with no real story about Paris or France. Amazed nobody fell off a boat or slipped in the rain (as far as I could tell).
@davoloid @pseudonym every single sequence was a nod to Parisian history and culture. Guess you’re not familiar with Paris
