Thread Name: Looney Tunes Anniversary
Subject: RE: Looney Tunes Anniversary
Well, John, we'll see how long it stays in the music section. I think there is a music connection, though. Wikipedia says that Warner Brothers produced the Looney Tunes animated series from 1930 until 1969, when it was replaced by Merrie Melodies. Looney Tunes was obviously meant to compete with Disney's Silly Symphonies.
I know that I heard a lot of classical music on cartoons when I was growing up, but did any of these three series make extensive use of classical music?
