What movie is this song from!?

I am most definitely in a Tim Burton setting here and I am instantly drawn to the sewers of Gotham City (Batman Returns) and through many other movies by that director. I`m gonna have a Tim Burton binge one of these days and return with an answer. I just know TS and I both have the same feel about this music. Dark, magical, wonderful.

My favorite TB is Sleepy Hollow. :)
 
Looks like I'm not the only one who couldn't find what this music was from... Took a while of searching but the best I can find for now is from the simpsons.
I know I have heard it in other movies etc though 🤔

Boom:

Beautiful stuff.

edit: The Wikipedia page lists films and such where it has been used.

IMDB has a listing for Camille Saint-Saens:

Camille Saint-Saëns | Music Department, Composer, Soundtrack

Known for: If I Stay, The Bridges of Madison County, Pig
www.imdb.com

Note that every listing of "Le Cygne" (French name) is referring to "The Swan" (English name).

"Aquarium", "Danse Macabre" and "Samson et Delilah" are all also firmly established as recognizable pieces heavily used in pop culture.

Naturally this piece has been used in FAR more instances than mentioned in the various listings.

"Aquarium" is used early in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (the Tim Burton version). It doesn't show up in the IMDB soundtrack listing but it's in the movie itself.
 
Carnaval of the Animals is a very familiar work, even if most people don't know what it is. The piece itself captures (and some would even say mocks) themes from other works and composers. Disney itself has a history with several movements of this piece having used the Final in Fantasia 2000 and a derivative version of Aquarium by Dick Dale as the on ride soundtrack for Disneyland's Space Mountain!

This has been driving me absolutely crazy. I think it is in a few movies actually. I thought Beauty and the Beast or maybe Edward Scissorhands

I honestly have no idea if I am right but I have been listening on repeat for about 30 minutes and I think it could be in the following; Harry Potter once he gets his first wand, Alice in Wonderland (original film) when she is walking around in the garden, a Barbie movie (either the mermaid one or the fairy one), a Disney Princess Game (from the Nintendo Wii), Narnia the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, Fantasia, or possibly Sleeping Beauty just before she pricks her finger.
