Very vague, I know. But I keep hearing it randomly and never figure out what it is. It was also featured in one of the AFI countdowns I believe (while they are recapping–all I remember is the Buster Keaton “train” scene from The General). I think I’ve heard it on Baby Einstein too.

If you’re talking about the part at the beginning of the movie where the narrator gives the story background, it’s probably an excerpt of “Aquariums,” from Camille Saint-Saens ‘Carnival Of The Animals.”
It was also used on a FedEx commercial some years ago.
