Old cartoons always had the *best* music. I miss that. The only modern cartoon that even approached that was Ren & Stimpy.

If it weren't for Carl W. Stalling I would have grown up with zero exposure to classical music.

I quite agree. The music that was used to represent industrial machinery was my favorite.
A few years ago, NPR played a musical piece that the DJ introduced as containing all of the music used on the Warner Brothers cartoons. I was skeptical, but my heart soared when I heard the piece. Not only was it the same music used but it was produced/performed exactly as it was in the cartoons. Just incredible.
The piece was introduced as the Poet and Peasant Overture but even after 10 years of searching I have been unable to find this particular piece.
Does anybody here have any leads?

Thank you Forti, I don't have this one in my old scratchy MPEG collection.
The highlight is the wonderfully rotoscoped Hitler at the end.
I'm sure Fein or Ruddy watched this one.

Not ALL the music by any means, but:
The cartoonish parts start about 3:33.
"Industrial" cartoon music? Maybe Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse":
