Smalls appearances are usually preceded by the strum of a sitar. Carl Stalling's piece 'What's Up, Doc?' , which opened most of 's shorts from the late '40s onward. The cartoon of the same title even. Whenever Bugs made a cameo appearance in another WB cartoon, the Merrie Melodies theme would cue up. He made an appearance in the George Pal Paramount Puppetoon 'Jasper Goes Hunting,' and the accompanying music was an ersatz variation of the Merrie Melodies theme.
Stalling was addicted to the use of Leitmotif, to the point that animators joked, 'Now, don't draw anything with a red pencil, or Stalling will give us. In the specials, almost every character has their own theme (with Linus and Lucy sharing one that went on to ). has Stan's high school bully who not only has a distinctive theme song played over every scene he appears in, he also carries a stereo around with him so that he can play his own theme song in place of actually speaking. Later when he teams up with Steve's new bully Luis they stopped to record a with Roger recording. In, nearly every character, and every villain, had a leitmotif that was associated with them.
Nearly every leitmotif, with the exception of the Joker's, originated in the title card for their premiere episode, and thus was featured strongly in the soundtracks of the episodes they appear in. The episode 'The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne' gives the best example when The Joker, Two-Face, and The Penguin all exit a plane one after the other. Their respective themes play them off the plane, and blend seamlessly from one to the next.
Batman's theme himself is quite possibly one of the most memorable ever conceived for the character, arguably moreso than Danny Elfman's from the 1989 movie (which Shirley Walker's interpretation has many themes in common with). Two-Face, for example, had a that would play every time he was onscreen (whereas most had their motifs simply played in larger scenes), even if the episode had nothing to do with him (i.e., if a character was passing by his cell in Arkham). The Joker, whose theme never played in a title card, had a (plays at the end) that had a different version of it played (ofttimes with completely different instruments) for every episode he appeared in. video even has a subtle almost fourth-wall breaking nod to the theme of the animated Joker at the end.
This idea was used expertly in 'Perchance to Dream'. As Wayne races to the top of a church belltower the Mad Hatter's theme is being played by heavy brass (as opposed to light, cheerful flutes as per norm) despite the fact he's doesn't appear to be involved in Bruce Wayne's current plight. Discerning viewers get to notice this, figure out the twist, and feel happy. In the origin story for Harley Quinn, the Joker is the first time they meet. mostly had its own music, but would occasionally do a callback to leitmotifs for the previous series, and in the episode 'Out of the Past,' when Bruce Wayne is temporarily restored to youth and vigor, he and Terry take out the trash to a rock-anthem treatment of the BTAS main theme.
The very first time this callback happened in was in the first episode during the last time Bruce appeared wearing the batsuit Terry would wear years later. Another notable - and very effective - callback to the original BtAS score occurs in the episode 'Disappearing Inque,' when the aged Bruce Wayne appears in a suit of Batman to come to Terry's rescue. Yet another one; in the episode 'The Call', a brainwashed Superman ends up fighting Terry, and then follows him when he gets on the Batplane and goes to Mach 3. As this goes on, his theme plays in the background, but there is something wrong about it, somehow. It gets slowed and 'darkened' to show that Supes is. In, the first line of the theme music serves as Superman's Leitmotif.
Used to creepy effect in 'Identity Crisis' with of Bizarro, whose leitmotif has the first three notes in reverse order, and adds instruments to 'darken' it. In the episode 'A Little Piece of Home', a thug named Joey had an awesome jazzy theme. It's a shame he only appeared in one episode. In, various locations have leitmotifs, most notably Mrs.
Puff's boating school, the Barg'n'Mart, and the Krusty Krab. A smaller number of characters, most notably Mermaidman and Barnacle Boy, have their own themes as well. tends to get associated specifically with Squidward. had in his season one appearances, all of which were performed by surf punk band The Surfdusters. He also has an in-universe example to accompany his: He actually pulls out a record player to provide villainous music as he laughs maniacally. The song called existed before SpongeBob, but kids have it embedded in their heads as the 'Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy theme.'
. In and Justice League Unlimited, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern and Green Arrow all have their own musical motifs (Batman and Superman retain their melody motifs from their respective solo shows). Green Arrow even hums his own theme while swinging forth into battle at one point (and it was and at the same time). In, Mad Mod gets a noticeable musical motif. Terra as well. In, every main character had his or her own theme. Gadget's was the main theme of the show, which played in almost every scene as a recurring part of the soundtrack.
Penny also had a fairly thorough theme playing in each of her scenes. Brain, Quimby and Dr. Claw each had a short motif that played when their scenes began, while Claw had a longer theme that played in the background afterwards. has a few pieces of music used in specific situations, including Rufus's theme, which was put to lyrics as the 'Naked Mole Rap' in a third season episode. All the major characters also had their own individual Leit Motifs which would occasionally pop up. The most frequently was Kim's theme, a high-energy guitar variation on the show's theme tune.
Ron had his own (somewhat sillier) up-tempo guitar theme, although it shows up less often. Drakken is accompanied by looming strings, although it's often replaced with a flute when he's being silly.
Shego receives a techno beat. Killigan is aided by the bagpipes, while Monkeyfist often appears accompanied with a monk-like male bass chant. has these for several characters, from full-on Anime-like image songs (Toad) to sinister little villain tunes (Magneto). Magneto's piece is even based on the music playing at Auschwitz at the beginning of the first live-action film. Angel, the only character in the show to operate as a traditional superhero, gets very heroic music. Scott and Rogue (as a duo) get one too. It's weird, seeing as they aren't the, but nonetheless beautiful music.
has Uncle Ruckus whose presence is always preceded by a trombone tune, reminiscent of Jabba the Hutt's theme. Although not heard until Season 2, it is quickly noticeable. Every engine in had their own theme in the early years of the show.
Several events were also accompanied by a recurring theme (eg. When an engine crashes or becomes a ).
of has a distinct upbeat theme that goes with how his presence is used as an indicator of things being less serious. For the reverse, has a ' bell-like twinge that can be heard almost every time she's onscreen. during the volleyball scene in 'The Beach'. And when she's in the middle of her, we're treated to a disjointed amount of strings. Any time we see the Blue Spirit, we hear a 'Tsungi Horn', a fictional instrument in the show made by altering the sound of a duduk. When he is engaging in stealthy moves, this changes to a vaguely bell-like sound, crescendoing and decrescendoing in time to the understated action. (This theme was even played briefly when the still-unpurchased/unstolen Blue Spirit mask went past Zuko and Iroh on a cart, before the character of the Blue Spirit emerged.
You ALWAYS know when the Blue Spirit is about!). Apparently, as well as each nation, and one for the as a pair which gets a particularly swelling version in the last scene of the series. Iroh apparently had several, and Zuko's changed over time with his. There's a cool moment in 'The Boiling Rock' where Zuko and Sokka's leitmotifs are played together, signifying that they have become. Zuko and Azula share a Leitmotif because they're brother and sister.
They just arrange it differently and use slightly different instruments so his sounds determined and serious, and hers sounds girlish, yet creepy. Sokka and Yue also have one, though it may or may not count as a leitmotif since it is essentially an instrumental version of the song Iroh sang in the episode Yue was introduced. Ozai's leitmotif once he's introduced as a character in the third season sounds scary and menacing, but in a cold, calculating way. When he announces his plan to burn down the Earth Kingdom, some insane-sounding violins are added to it. ATLA inherits some of them, most notably ones pertaining to the Avatar, while adding more of their own.
Aang's successor and incarnation Korra has a theme that is often played together with the theme of the Avatar. Bolin has a short fanfare that plays up when he's doing something heroic. Zaheer and his cohorts are often accompanied with a foreboding percussion, with an intensifying string chord joining in when they spring into action.
Astute listeners can actually figure out that the mysterious airbender in 'The Metal Clan' is Zaheer when this theme plays. leitmotif is a quick, militaristic drumbeat, fitting her status as a conqueror.

Doofenshmirtz ('Doofenshmirtz Evil, Inc.!' .

Cute music, spy music when Perry gets his mission, Bavarian-like music whenever Doofenshmirtz appears, and overly sad music when Doof has a flashback. There are lots more. Vanessa Doofenshmirtz. Pinky the Chihuahua is often accompanied by a mariachi band tune. Several of the villainous characters on have a Leitmotif:. In any episode he appears, Sideshow Bob is almost always accompanied by a few ominous bars.
Appropriately enough, given the episode it was first used in, his theme is essentially a of the for. This actually happened by accident; the composer used the Cape Fear music to drive home the parody and add to the cheesiness of the suspense. It wasn't meant to represent Bob, but since he was the bad guy, it naturally played only when he was onscreen. The producers ran with it and now it's quite explicitly his theme, always playing when he first appears in an episode (just in time for Bart and Lisa to shout in unison: 'AAAAAAH!
SIDESHOW BOB!' ). With (usually) each appearance, alien antagonists Kang and Kodos can easily be recognized by a haunting, other-worldly theme that follows. A vaguely Godfatherian/Italian musical theme accompanies most appearances of Fat Tony. Whenever Charles Montgomery Burns is in his mansion or is planning another evil scheme, you can bet you will hear that sinister music reminiscent of 's. Release the sounds!.

For example, Lemongrab's leitmotif is a quiet, out of tune harpsichord and/or piano played at an irregular rhythm, and it often gets louder when he yells.
His leitmotif is pretty subtle, but it helps to underscore just how bizarre and awkward his character is. It almost sounds like there are mistakes in the music, or that the piece doesn't make sense- which is fitting, because he is a failed science experiment. has leitmotifs for Spidey from previous animated series starring said. The 1960s one and the 1990s one that appeared on Fox are both audible in the soundtrack music for the show. has a heroic march based on a six-note opening (two long notes followed by a quick succession of four short notes) for the Autobots, and a more sinister theme based on a four-note line for the Decepticons.

Meanwhile, has an utterly metal guitar chord.

The 1970s British pre-school cartoon Bod had a prominent theme tune for each of its characters, all of which were short, simple and catchy so that kids would memorize them quickly. Several characters and situations in have these.
The hoverboard music. In, an absurdly dramatic theme song always accompanies Dr. Byron Orpheus's theatrical outbursts, which comprise a majority of his dialogue. The Monarch has similar dramatic music that plays whenever he's being particularly commanding or villainous: 'MINIONS!' .
