I recently picked up a CD titled "The Carl Stalling Project - Music
From Warner Bros. Cartoons 1936-1958" (WA 9 26027-2).
Carl stalling was the guy who scored all of the Warner Brothers cartoons
between 1936 and 1958. This disk is a sample of those scores. It
contains several complete cartoon scores, without voices. It also
contains collections such as "Various Cues From Bugs Bunny Films".
While the material is copyrighted, so you shouldn't cop the music from
the disc for your own animation, it IS an excellent reference on
how to compose music for an animation.
If you do cartoon animations, or just love cartoons, I highly recomend
it. You will probably have to special order it, as most "normal" CD
stores probably won't have it in stock.

Actually, I've seen it a bunch of places. Any Tower Records store
would probably have it. You might have to hunt around for it,
though--it might be in ``Soundtracks,'' in ``Children's'', or even in
the ``Classical'' section.
It is indeed an excellent CD, particularly because the pieces on it
were chosen on their own merits as music to be listened to, not by
virtue of the cartoons they happened to be in. It's interesting to
analyze such programmatic music without any visual references...
