My first exposure to that music was seeing dancing mushrooms in that cartoon(!).

I later learned it was the popularity of that movie which, almost singlehandedly, inspired American companies to begin staging entire productions of Tchaikovsky’s score (I think?: the first was in S.F. during the 1940s).
