Cartoon Symphony (Cartoon Theme Medley)

The symphony audience takes its seat, the conductor approaches the podium, gives the down beat, and the cartoon music begins. Cartoon music?!? Yep, it's bits and pieces of the most wonderfully scored 'critter & character' music ever. Your audience will thrill to Bugs, Fred, Barney and Wilma, the Jetsons, with "This Is It!," "(Meet) The Flintstones," "The Jetsons," "The Simpsons," "The Pink Panther," and "Animaniacs". It's a fun piece that salutes the 'world's greatest heroes.' (Duration 3:42)
