Not many people are aware that Merry Melodies and all the rest of the cartoons were intended as filler material to amuse movie-going adults.
I believe that Merry Melodies is where I acquired my liking for classical music. But learning all the trivia and symbolism about that age is interesting, but not interesting enough to actually read textbooks about it. I only want the bullet points.

There's only so much time in the world. The bullet points work just fine.

True. There are so many classical pieces that I automatically identify with Looney Tunes...especially one involving a bird that comes out of a cracked volcano...Mendelssohn's "Hebrides Overture" plays in the background.

Gotta expose the teens to art somehow... Just as Looney Toons exposed generations to classical music, literature, and history.
