The music goes round and round …

September 25, 1943
An rare but excellent Merrie Melodies cartoon, A Corny Concerto, featuring all of the Looney Tunes major players, was released on this date.

A parody of Disney’s 1940 feature Fantasia, the film uses two of Johann Strauss II’s best known waltzes, Tales from the Vienna Woods and The Blue Danube, adapted by the cartoon unit’s music director, Carl Stalling and orchestrated by its arranger and later, Stalling’s successor, Milt Franklyn.
