Classic cartoon music - Tom & Jerry DVD

[twochannelsonly]

So great thought above, but you know what came to my mind was when Daffy Duck, stopped Bugs Bunny from playing the piano(that was rigged with TNT) pushing Bugs out of the way (since he was 1 note off try after try) and says

NO...NO... NO you dumb bunny this is how it goes ...dee da..dee..da dee... ... ... da dee dee BOOM ...

Sorry guys couldnt help myself

I like how the Simpsons pay tribute to Tom and Jerry with Itchy and Scratchy -- now these are over the top sickening but damn funny - I always think of Tom and Jerry.

I liked almost everything these cartoons did -- not a big fan of Bugs bunny though. He seemed sleazy to me. I like Daffy duck and whatever cartoon it was where at the end he says " I may be a coward but I'm a greeeeeeeeedy coward" -- I like Marvin the Marshian as well.

But my favs were always that stupid Coyote and the Road Runner. With all the money Wiley spent at Acme he could have purchased a nice Road Rinner meal at a top restaurant -- Stupid Coyote! I always loved the umbrella and that poor look he gave us before plummeting a thousand feet.

And the Dog and the wolf dressing up as a sheep to get the sheep. Didn't really like Sylvester and Tweety much -- maybe because I had a cat and hated when the cat lost...damn annoying Tweety!!

As much as I loved the Tom & Jerry rivalry, WB will always be #1 in my heart. Disney had it's moments, but never really captured the same type of humor. Except Donald Duck, man that guy was funny...especially with those pesky chipmunks...that poor bastard.
When I was a kid we had cool, masculin, cartoons too...G.I. Joe, Transformers, Voltron, etc. Cartoons really were much cooler back then...no freakin' Japanese love stories thrown in with mythological cuteness...yuck. I'm still waiting for seasons 1 & 2 of He-Man to come out in a few months....

don't forget thundercats.

i also remember a LOT of classical music being used in cartoons. everything from the william tell overture opening for any morning scene (so much to make it a cliche) to the 1812 overture, to beethoven's 9th to wagner's ring of the nebulung (sp?) with the classic 'kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit!'

growing up on great cartoons helped my imagination immensely. i dread to find out what pokemon does for this next generation, while still hoping its good for the imagination, i just can't see it. i can look back as an adult (well, in age at least) to those classic cartoons and STILL appreciate and enjoy them for 'serious' storylines (the problems of cross-species dating, retelling classic movie plots and hell... Ride of the Valkyrie!!, the problems of cross-dressing, the problems of defying the laws of nature, etc) and classical music, i look at pokemon and think this can't be good for epileptics.
