Inspired partly by
this thread, my archival mind, and a nature of coincidence, I've decided to create a repository for all of our favorite, rare, and lovable characters that we remember from cartoons.
So come here to share whichever
Merrie Melodies, Looney Tunes, Wonderful World of Disney Shorts, NickToons, Cartoon, Cartoons or whatever you happen to find in the form of funny cartoon comedics, so long as you love it and inspires joy/laughter/sentiment.
This happens to be one of my favorite cartoons ever, but every so often, I forget the name of it, and in my scramble to recall the specifics and exact video portrayal of it, I feel the need to share the happiness in which it fills within me with someone else. So, as I have just found it once again, I offer this cartoon to you and hope it bestows upon your being a good smile, and perhaps a hearty chuckle or boisterous guffaw to boot.

{If the above embeddable should break, a redirect link: Merrie Melodies - Rhapsody In Rivets}
At a busy urban construction site, an appreciative crowd of gawkers watches the foreman use the building plans as his score and conduct the workmen in Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, a symphony of riveting, hammering, sawing, and more. The workmen are dogs in human clothes. Elevators, picks, shovels, and a steam shovel are instruments in music making and construction. As the clock nears 5:00 PM, the crew works furiously, and the Umpire State Building rises toward the clouds. With the pennant planted at the top and the work completed, the foreman takes a bow. Droopy leaves last, closing the door behind him. Is the rhapsody over or are there still a few bars to play?
