And who could ever resist the music for the Lone Ranger (William Tell Overture)? My father listened to classical music all the time, but the Lone Ranger theme would bring my brother and me running.

My niece developed an interest after watching the Fantasia disc I bought for her 6th birthday. Simple exposure is usually enough; the music itself does the rest.

YES! Not to forget the Lone Ranger. That got the blood pumping. Besides Warner Bros., there were other studios making cartoons. Walt Disney (when Walt was alive) made great cartoon epics with classical music — who can forget Mickey Mouse in “The Sorcerer's Apprentice”? Water Lantz (Woody Woodpecker), MGM (Tom and Jerry), and Paramount (Popeye the Sailor) were others. The folks who did these cartoons were absolute comedic geniuses. Kids loved them, but in all reality, much of the stuff in the cartoons was aimed at adults.

Now we have these “message” type cartoons and they suck. It used to be Cartoon Network would run the old Warner Bros, cartoons, but then they started butchering them for PC considerations such “violence”, “stereotyping”, and other liberal nonsense.

One of the things that drove the libs nuts was the characters were always getting shot or blown up or falling off cliffs and such. These morons actually believed kids could not understand the difference between cartoon fantasy characters and acting out in real life. Good grief! How stupid is this? At 8 years old I knew cartoon characters weren't REAL.
