Plenty of good stuff has been said about classical music in cartoons (from Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny to Bluey), but a different example that really stuck with me was "In the Hall of the Mountain King" as the puppet show on Zoobilee Zoo.

Do you have a favorite example of learning about high culture from low culture? Mine is the episode of Gilligan's Island where the castaways stage a musical adaptation of Hamlet set to the tune of Carmen (70s TV was wild) <1/n>

You couldn't script it. It'd be too over the top mustache-twirly.

Haha this reminds me of when we had a decades day in high school. My class had the '80s and I wore a bunch of accessories from when I was a kid and some of my mom's workout clothes with hot pink lipstick and blue eyeshadow. My history teacher called it uncanny that she wore the same look in college.

I see you and raise my hand with an obligatory rant about why Luana Patten should be a Disney Legend.

I LOVE music box arrangements like this. The more intricate, the more beautiful.

Decades later, when I worked at the glow carts at World Showcase on my first CP, there were some drunk guys at Food & Wine who asked if we sold light up nipple tassels. When I answered, "sir, this is Disney World," he said, "... so do they have Mickey on them?"
