Whether serving as a soundtrack for a comedic story starring Mickey Mouse, a stylized parody like "What's Opera Doc?" with Bugs Bunny or the symphonic inspiration for the visual storytelling of "Fantasia", classic music has had a strong influence on animated films since they were first synchronized. In conjunction with the citywide "Ring Festival LA", the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, offered an evening of animation and classical music this past Friday. Q: What is the most used piece of music for animated shorts? A: Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2 by Liszt. And I would have guessed, William Tell Overture. The Academy's Chuck Jones exhibition, with over 150 pieces, can be seen in the Grand Lobby Gallery through August 22. 8949 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills
