Great topic, Kris. I love cartoons, mostly the ones I grew up on in the 1940's and '50's, and specifically Bugs Bunny. Below is my favorite Bugs cartoon, What's Opera, Doc, which according to Wikipedia, ... was voted #1 of the 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time by 1000 members of the animation field in 1994. It was a parody of Richard Wagner's series of four operas, The Ring of the Nibelung, which was based on Scandinavian mythology. One of the joys of this cartoon is hearing opera sung with Bugs's Bronx/Brooklyn accent. Hilarious!
How about the Foghorn Leghorn toon where he's trying to teach egghead (I can't remember if that's his name or not) and the kid keeps doing all this complicated stuff, and Foghorn can't do simple stuff!
