Done as a one-shot, with all original characters who never appeared in any other MGM cartoon, Symphony is pretty much an anomaly in Avery's canon. What makes it even more so is the fact that Avery hired designer Tom Oreb to design all the characters and layout for the entire film. Just for this one cartoon. That's it. Oreb had been working at Disney pretty consistantly at the time, but left the company in the early-50's. Oreb worked with Avery at MGM for this one cartoon and then went back to Disney where he designed characters for such projects as Toot, Whistle, Plunk & Boom, Sleeping Beauty and One Hundred and One Dalmations.

John Brown provided all voices here. He had been a busy radio, movie and TV actor {"Thorny" on "THE ADVENTURES OF OZZIE & HARRIET", "Digger O'Dell" on "THE LIFE OF RILEY", "Al" on "MY FRIEND IRMA", etc.}, but was "blacklisted" in 1952 after he refused to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee on "naming names" (i.e. "which of your friends are Communists?"). Tex Avery found work for him in a few more cartoons, but he was virtually unemployable after 1954. Brown died in 1957.

Beautiful design, hilarious, perfect timing.. unbelieable.
RIP Tex
Just now, I was reading Tv Tropes, and they mentioned it by name.
And here I am.
Yes.
No, I meant the punching cows part, not the ticket.
