There are probably very few animated shorts that can be funny for 78 years.
It has been 78 years since Episode 1 aired.
He has been nominated for 5 times and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film seven times.
It is the childhood of the post-90s. It's Tom and Jerry.
However, I only learned today that the soundtrack of "Tom and Jerry" can really be musically enlightened.
The master classic in the cartoon
Influenced by the soundtrack video, I picked up the soundtrack of Tom and Jerry and became fascinated.
There are various classical classical music inside:
Chopin's "The Great Round Dance", Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", Johann Strauss's "Blue Danube", Liszt's "Second Hungarian Rhapsody"...
More than 70 years ago, when animation production technology was not yet developed, an average of 7 minutes/episode of animation required about 150 teams to produce for nearly a year. Therefore, there is the action of each frame of the animation, and the connection of the plot is natural and smooth, which is regarded as a classic.
In the episode Cat Concerto, Tom plays Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.
The fingering and rhythm played by Tom Cat are completely consistent, and even lang lang's first interest in the piano is because of this song played by Tom cat, and now this work is also Lang Lang's representative work.

In addition, the 86 episodes of Tom and Jerry – Neapolitan Mouse also has a lot of Italian classical music, especially Neapolitan folk music.
The following song selection is excerpted from the answer of the excellent answerer and Liu Jingchang:
teodoro cottrau - saint lucia(1849)
Synopsis: "Santa Lucia" Napoli ballad, the lyrics describe the beautiful scenery of santa Lucia district in the Bay of Naples, its meaning is that a boatman invites guests to take his boat out for a walk, especially in the cool evening breeze. The structure of the song is regular and symmetrical, like an undulating melody and a vibrant 3/8 beat.
eduardo di capua - my sun(1898)
Introduction: "My Sun" lyrics giovanni capurro, composer eduardo di capua, one of the world's three tenors Pavarotti's masterpiece.
giambattista de curtis - return to sorrento
Description: The Italian song "Return to Sorrento", written by the two brothers, lyrics by G. Di Curtis, and composed by Ernesto Di Curtis. Sorrento is a town in the Gulf of Naples, Italy, and the word comes from the Greek word meaning "the home of the Surien fairy". Orangery workers sing hometown and express their personal feelings of love songs.
Music and Italian have to be said for their origins
The soundtrack of Tom and Jerry is good because of the use of classical music, but did you know that classical music has a relationship with Italian that has to be said?
If music is the universal language, then Italian is the language tailored to music.
Italian is the mood of music, and the notes are to be played as staccato (broken)! When it comes to multi-movement works, there are even fewer "adagio" (soft plates) and "scherzo" (harmonic songs). And when performing an opera, after an aria ends, we can't help but shout to the singer, "bravo"!
"concerto", "violin" ("violin"), "piano", "cello", "alto", "soprano" ("soprano") and "opera"... These words are of Italian origin.
Therefore, it is better to learn Italian well and grasp the essence of musical emotional expression.
The Italian Conservatory of Music is home
Because of the origin of Italy and musical terminology, many people want to go to Italy to study music. Every city in Italy has a conservatory named after the city. For example, if you want to go to Italy to study jazz, there are really a bunch of related majors waiting for you to understand.
To learn, the important thing is the atmosphere, we can look at the photos of the Italian Conservatory of Music to feel it.
Excited?
The adult world is getting more and more complicated, but we have to be more and more frustrated like Tom cats, have the little wisdom of little Jerry, calmly deal with it, and encourage it together
