Cartoons focused on music

[elgecko]

These are kind of specific since they're individual episodes but they're way classic!

Owl Jolson...I like to singa!

Jackson the Sliphorn King of Polaroo

 

[Lady Kayri]

Allegro non Troppo, Europe's answer to Fantasia...
Mospeada (Japanese anime, upon which third segment of Robotech was based) has a pop singer as one of its main characters. And then there was Lin/Lynn Minmay, the pop singer in the first Robotech segment. (In the original Japanese version, they had a REAL singer as Minmay's voice actress; the US version, not so much...)

The Flintstones and The Jetsons had quite a few episodes based around music.

Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad. The bassist uses a white 1993-1996 MM Stingray with a three-band EQ.

Here is a cartoon series from the mid 70s

The Partridge Family 2200 A.D.

 

[Nashrakh]

Daft Punk's Discovery DVD is basically about alien musicians abducted to earth.

Also great to see we have some other anime enthusiasts here

Adding to that, Nodame Cantabile is an anime about music majors, great stuff and highly underrated. Great characters.

That's Max Fanjet...I tried to post this in the fictional bassist thread to no avail. Check out this episode (youtube)...when introduced, he lays down a R&B-ish/jazzy groove with a quasi-fuzz drenched tone.

 

[Zooberwerx]

Any Bugs Bunny / Elmer Fudd collaboration including the Barber of Seville, Wagner's Flight of the Valkyries, etc.

"...kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit!!...."

Come to think of it, I learned more about the arts & sciences by watching Loony Tunes / Merrie Melodies than I ever assimilated during my undergrad years.

Of course, how could I forget.

The actual band The Beau Brummels were featured on The Flintstones as The Beau Brummelstones

...I'm sure you recall why they (in part) came up with that particular name.

Also from The Flintstones was "Stoney Carmichael" (Hoagy Carmichael).

I am glad I was past the target-age of some of these-
Partridge Family 2200?
Bonaduce still looks like his "strumming the bass"!

You can also see the same artists involved...
The Jetsons' Lawrence Welk spoof looks like Fred Flintstone.
Jabberjaw's bassist looks like Shaggy & the guitarist looks like Freddie (from Scooby-Do)

Justin Bieber?

We said cartoons, not Greek tragedies.

The Bugaloos!

Yes, I do. Interestingly, many people actually thought The Beau Brummels were from the U.K. and part of the British Invasion but they were from San Francisco. They just found a way to tap into the music scene at the time.

When I was a kid, I saw The Beau Brummels perform live in concert at Kennywood Park, in the Pittsburgh, PA area. That is when admission to the park was free (you had to buy separate ride tickets) and every weekend they would have bands in concert or some type of free shows.

The old Warner Bros(Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck etc)- and pretty much everything from that era(30s-50s)had some truly astounding background music

That was composed by Carl Stalling. There are two volumes of his work from Warner Bros. that have been compiled and released. It's an often played selection in my library. Great stuff.

This was all part of the marketing (illusion). Same for The Buckinghams...for years, I just assumed they were British & part of the Invasion.

The Bugaloos!

I don't recall this show (thank God). Just read up on it...so it was a UK version of The Monkees? Phil Collins auditioned for one of the parts?!?!

Man, Susan Dey was hot even as an animated character!
