Classical music in cartoons

The cartoon creating a new generation of classical music lovers

Are you among those of us who fell in love with classical music through cartoons like Bugs Bunny and Fantasia? Even pianist Lang Lang credits Tom and Jerry for inspiring him to learn the piano.
Australian hit series Bluey is continuing the tradition, inspiring a whole new generation of classical music lovers with the music of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and more. Russell Torrance spoke to Bluey’s lead composer, Joff Bush, about how they choose the classical music in the show and why it’s making such an impact on kids (and their parents!)
We’ve pulled together a video of some of the most magical uses of music in the show, from Mozart’s Rondo à la turca, to Holst’s “Jupiter”. And don’t miss Russell’s fan moment, when he gets his own personalised rendition of the theme music!
