Stalling was born and grew up in Lexington, Missouri. Lexington is a city in Lafayette County, Missouri, United States. He started playing piano at six. By the age of 12, he was the principal piano accompanist in his hometown's silent movie house. By the time he was in his early twenties, he was conducting his own orchestra and improvising on the organ at the legendary Isis Movie Theatre in Kansas City. Kansas City Missouri only Items for the metro area Kansas City Kansas or North Kansas City MO should go on their respective pages During that time, he met and befriended a young Walt Disney who was producing animated comedy shorts in Kansas City.

Early discussions with Disney about whether the animation or the musical score should come first led to Disney creating the "Silly Symphonies" series of cartoons. Silly Symphonies is a series of Animated Short subjects 75 in total produced by Walt Disney Productions from 1929 to 1939 These cartoons allowed Stalling to create a score which Disney handed to his animators. While there, Stalling pioneered the use of "bar sheets" which allowed the musical rhythms to be sketched out simultaneously with the storyboards for the animation.

Ub Iwerks, ASC ( Ubbe Ert Iwwerks) ( 24 March 1901 &ndash 7 July 1971) was a two-time Academy Award winning Finding few outlets in New York, Stalling rejoined Iwerks at his own studio in California, while freelancing for Disney and others. In 1936, when Iwerks was hired by Leon Schlesinger, who was under contract to produce animated shorts for Warner Bros. Leon Schlesinger ( May 20, 1884 – December 25, 1949) was an American Film producer, most noted for founding , Stalling went with him to become a full-time cartoon music composer, with full access to the expansive Warner Bros. catalog and musicians. He remained with Warner Bros. until his retirement in 1958. His last cartoon was To Itch His Own, a cartoon directed by Chuck Jones which featured the world's strongest flea, the Mighty Angelo. Charles Martin "Chuck" Jones ( September 21, 1912 &ndash February 22, 2002) was an American Animator,

Stalling was consistently an innovator. He was the first music director to extensively use the metronome to time film scores. A metronome is any device that produces a regulated aural visual or tactile pulse to establish a steady Tempo in the performance of music He is one of three composers, along with Max Steiner and Scott Bradley, credited with the invention of the click track.

Scott Bradley ( November 26, 1891 - April 27, 1977) in was an American Composer, Pianist and conductor A click track is a series of audio cues used to synchronize sound recordings often to a moving image His stock-in-trade was the "musical pun", where he used references to popular songs, or even classical pieces, to add a dimension of humor to the action on the screen. Working with legendary directors Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, Friz Freleng, Robert McKimson, and Chuck Jones, he developed the "Looney Tunes" style of very rapid and tightly coordinated musical cues, punctuated with both instrumental and recorded sound effects, and occasionally reaching into full blown musical fantasies such as The Rabbit of Seville and A Corny Concerto.

Stalling was a master at quickly changing musical styles based on the action in the cartoon. His arrangements were very complicated and technically demanding. In Music, an arrangement refers either to a rewriting of a piece of existing Music with additional new material or to a fleshing-out of a compositional sketch such The music itself served both as a background for the cartoon, and provided musical sound effects. The word cartoon has various meanings based on several very different forms of Visual art and Illustration. The titles of the music often described the action, sometimes forming jokes for those familiar with the tunes. Some examples are listed below:

Stalling made extensive use of the many works of Raymond Scott, whose music was licensed by Warner Bros. in the early 1940s.

Jones and the other Looney Tunes directors sometimes complained about Stalling's proclivity for musical quotation and punning. His contemporaries, especially Scott Bradley, were considered more "serious", writing more original melodies and utilizing more high-brow compositional methods. In an interview, Jones complained: "He was a brilliant musician. But the quickest way for him to write a musical score [. . . ] was to simply look up some music that had the proper name. If there was a lady dressed in red, he'd always play "The Lady in Red. " If somebody went into a cave, he'd play "Fingal's Cave. " If we were doing anything about eating, he'd do 'A Cup of Coffee, A Sandwich, and You. ' I had a bee one time, and my God if he didn't go and find a piece of music written in 1906 or something called "I'm a Busy Little Bumble Bee. " (Adamson, quoted in Goldmark, p. 22)

Nevertheless, Stalling is remembered today for setting music to cartoons that have remained wildly popular to this day, and are often remembered for their musicality. His scores are heard constantly, both in re-runs of classic cartoons, and recycled in new Looney Tunes compilations and features such as Looney Tunes: Back in Action. Looney Tunes is a Warner Bros Animated cartoon series which ran in many movie theatres from 1930 to 1969 Looney Tunes Back in Action is a 2003 Live-action/animated film that tells the story of a hapless stuntman DJ Drake (played by Brendan Fraser

After Carl Stalling retired, he was replaced by Milt Franklyn, who had assisted Stalling as arranger since 1950. Milt Franklyn ( September 16, 1897, New York – April 24, 1962, Los Angeles) was a musical Composer and Carl Stalling died on November 29, 1972, at the age of 81.
