Goldmark’s “Tunes for ‘Toons” explores cartoon music in Hollywood
Daniel Goldmark’s (music) new book Tunes for ‘Toons: Music and the Hollywood Cartoon (University of California Press, 2005) has just been released. The work is the first book-length study of the use of music in classic Hollywood animation. Tunes for ‘Toons examines cartoon music during its heyday from the 1930s to the 1950s when film companies like MGM, Paramount and Warner Bros., had their own animation studios, and some - like Warner Bros. - had full-time orchestras.
