As a baby boomer who spent way too much time indoors, I had some of my earliest exposure to the classical idiom via the Looney Tunes soundtracks composed by Carl Stalling. Great stuff.

Happy listening,

Jim

Stalling was definitely one of the people doing great scores back in the golden age of cartoons. Brings back many fond memories, some of which are discussed in this thread. Disney's Fantasia and Sorcerer's Apprentice were the best animated scores for me as a kid, but that Warner Bros. stuff was terrific.
Scott Bradley was another good one who worked for MGM and scored those Tom and Jerry shorts that ran in theaters before the main movie.

Anyone remember the one where a shoemaker goes to sleep and the shoes mend themselves to Nutcracker Suite music? Maybe someone knows if it's on Youtube?

    Great suggestion, but not the one I'm looking for, which is almost identical in concept to this one, but the music is from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, with a hungarian rhapsody or two thrown in for good measure.
    One of the Youtube responses to this video says the one I'm looking for was made by Warner Bros.
    Thanks.

      Found it. Haven't seen this since I was a kid. These cartoons from back then were my intro to classical music.
