One reason I loved Looney Tunes is because I learned so much about classical music from them, sitting in front of the TV on Saturday mornings. A favorite is Barber of Seville. When Bugs stands on Fudd's head, I still crack up. So clever and well done.

I covered that in part one, and you’re dead on balls correct. It’s beautifully demented and wholly informative.

I just read Part 1. Went to your site to find it. Edit this and insert a throwback to it to make it easier for dumbasses like myself who didn't bother to read the first installment first.

I'm pretty sure I'm in the same boat - it's where we all first heard "The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" and "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik," so why shouldn't it be our intro to most, if not all, classical music? It's classic ANIMATION, so it makes sense.

We're of the same mind and same generation, old friend. It makes complete sense to me.

What's Opera, Doc? Bugs Bunny in drag on a white horse was my favorite. I think the song was from Valkyries? I totally reasonate with this! Thank you for writing. I, too, learned so much about music adn pop culture from cartoons.
