Just to be fair, more about Mendolssohn.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Mendelssohn He also wrote a Wedding March for Titania in "Midsummer's Night's Dream," that is still frequently played as it was at Queen Victoria's Wedding.

This particular cartoon was created as a way to employ dozens of musicians from Europe who were refugees from World War II. After the war many of Europe's finest classical musicians immigrated to the U.S. Many of them ended up in Hollywood to earn money, playing the soundtracks to movies and cartoons. If you listen closely to many of the Looney Tunes cartoons you'll realize that they're full of the world's best classical music.
