Ooooh musical gifts are the best. Have fun learning... GarageBand will allow you to do whatever you make time for.
As for cartoon music, ask Peggy to let you see the book I got her for Christmas last year.
Regarding cartoon music, and why 'they don't make it like they used to...' it's cause it takes too fecking long to do it by yourself, with all those turn-on-a-dime meter, tempo, and chordal changes... The little orchestras the studios employed were packed with musical chopmeisters, and the cartoon composers, esp. Carl Stalling, were total underappreciated musical gods. Nobody these days comprehends just how difficult it is to score like that. I remember about a year ago there was a South Park where they tried to do about 6 minutes of 'real' cartoon scoring. It was AWFUL...
