Synopsis
At Corny-Gie Hall, Elmer (as Deems Taylor) conducts two cartoons set to music.
In "Tales Of The Vienna Woods," Bugs foils hunter Porky and his dog. Bugs, Porky and Porky's dog do a ballet, with Bugs donning drag to appear as a ballerina. The second piece, "The Blue Danube," is a spoof of "The Ugly Duckling," with a baby black duck- not unlike a juvenile Daffy- saving the day when the swans are threatened by a goofy buzzard.

Production notes
Bob Clampett's classic parody of Disney's "Fantasia." (As in the Disney film, dainty flower petals fall into rippling water behind the opening titles.)
One of only two Warner Bros. cartoons (and the sole Merrie Melody) in which Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig appeared together onscreen.

A Corny Concerto
From Elmer doing Deems Taylor ['isn't that w-w-ovewy?'],to the embracing trees in 'The Blur Danube', as nasty a 'tribute' to Uncle Walt as ever done...and its always been MY opinion,that the 'lil Black Duck' is nothing more our pal Daffy in baby guise....sure ACTS like him... Wonder if Uncle Walt ever saw..and 'got' this?
Hillarious!
I absolutely adore this one. this was the cartoon that introduced me to love the music of Johan strauss! I especially love watching Elmer's pants fall down! I also have always thought that the baby duckling was Daffy.
A Corny Concerto
Right up there with "What's Opera, Doc?" and "Rabbit of Seville" as one of the greatest classical music spoofs of all time. Where was Oscar at the time?
