Rhapsody in Rivets is "built around an orchestral arrangement of Liszt’s Second Hungarian Rhapsody for piano (which might be the most-used piece of classical music in all animation). The characters are construction workers, acting as if their tools were musical instruments. The short earned Warner Bros. an Academy Award nomination and inspired Freleng to make an immediate follow-up, Pigs in a Polka, where the story is “The Three Little Pigs,” and Liszt is replaced by Brahms."
