You ever just listen to the old Loony Tunes cartoons?
They are mostly set to classical music. Introduced my kids to that kind of music that way.
“Kill the wabbit..”
“...You ever just listen to the old Loony Tunes cartoons?...”
Oh HELL yeah! They are some of my all-time favorite soundtracks... the best cartoon soundtracks ever!
“Long Haired Hare” is hilarious... “The Rabbit of Seville”... they were classics. And not only the classical music, but also just folk music and popular tunes of the day were prevalent in those cartoons.
They represent an animated slice of life from that time period. Hence, the left hates them, and wants them removed.
Like the original Jonny Quest... (Hanna-Barbara, 1964)

Ride of the Valkyries, from Wagner... brilliant!!
From “What’s Opera, Doc?”
Yep - my nieces all love "Rhapsody Rabbit". They were a bit surprised, though, by my "unedited" copy, where Bugs pulls out a revolver and shoots the coughing guy in the audience. Their response was spasms of laughter, followed by questions about why that scene had been cut. :-)
BTW, there's quite a bit of classical music used in Japanese anime, too.
