Classic Disney Music Quiz

RE-MASTERED in STEREO! - - There were many musical composers who worked for Disney during the 1940s - also known as the "Golden Age" of animated theatrical cartoons. READ MORE...

Many of the music composers worked on the 'Short Subject' theatrical cartoons that Walt Disney had created for his then-distributor RKO-Radio Pictures, Inc. (later distributed by Disney's own Buena Vista) for release.

Featured in this YouTube short is my personal favorite Disney "character theme song" (known as a 'leitmotif' for you musicians out there) that doesn't sound, er 'Mickey Mouse'-like... such as the other, more-bouncy Goofy theme - which is more well-known.

Don't ask me anything Disney though, I was a Warner Brothers Looney Tunes fan - and grew up with watching Bugs (and Woody Woodpecker), so I'm more of a Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn guy. And a little Darrell Calker swing from the early 'Woodies' (Let's forget about Clarence Wheeler)...Oh, and don't forget Scott Bradley's Tom and Jerry scores for MGM.

Disney cartoons, on the other hand, was only for Sunday nights on NBC - and they'd rarely show the good 'classic' cartoons (just like today!!!) from where this theme came from.

PS YouTube picked the thumbnail and I can't change it - so the first question was pointless... Grrrrr! :-(

--TECHNICAL NOTE: For you techies out there, this 'new sound' was engineered using 4 different Goofy cartoon opens and closes and LAYERING them (while EQing them and mixing them differently, duplicated into 8 tracks - each with embedded stereo FX) into a new higher-fidelity stereo imaging mix (not, it's not TRUE stereo, silly). This different technique of re-engineering also proves Disney re-used his music tracks for multiple cartoon releases without new recordings being made for the opening titles.

The composer of the particular cartoon opening theme would have to segue in-key (which is Eb [E-flat]) for you budding musicians. Enjoy!
