That was cool,it reminds me of the old Merry Melodies cartoons of the 40s and 50s and progresses to more recent stuff. Very cool, made me laugh when Bart shows up in the Fantasia theme.

It was like watching a brief history of American cartoons.

back in the day many older Disney toons were a lot like some of the Merry Melodies' style. Most of the toons from that era were similar in a lot of ways, sort of like there was a set format for a rime that all cortoonists who worked with film used.
