This is great Disney. Also good, and slightly more spooky, "Night on Bald Mountain" in "Fantasia" by Mussorsky. Absolutely terrifying when you are 8 or 9. #horror
Ub Iwerks is the master of vintage animation and this is still one of my favorites from him. I still get chills thinking of the Pin Cushion Man from his "Balloon Land" cartoon.
Also, fans of this wonderful piece will appreciate Iwerks' 1937 piece, "Skeleton Frolic" which is basically an extended and colorized version of "Skeleton Dance" #horror
Wow...flashbacks to watching the old cartoons on the Disney Channel back in the 80s. That was before it became the High School Montana Suite Life Channel.
To continue the musical Halloween theme here's some of Tim Burton's creations set to "Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo. Not my video, just something I came across on YouTube. #horror
@LittleDragon: Yeah, I thought the guy did a great job syncing the lyrics with the clips/mouth movements. And seeing as Danny Elfman was the lead singer/songwriter for Oingo Boingo it's a perfect fit. Oh, and to give credit were it's due, the creator's YouTube name is 'weareactualsize'.
@Belabras ate my dingo!: The only way they could have made it better was having 1980s SGT Slaughter kick Branden F'ing Frasers sorry ass in a cutscene. #gijoe

1): I had no idea that "Skeleton Dance" was the first Silly Symphony
2): If I was a kid in 1929, this would have blown my mind. It's like a medieval plague painting come to life. #horror

Lisa Simpson: No, Dad, you mean "xenophobia". Xylophobia would be the fear of xylophones.
Homer Simpson: I *am* afraid of xylophones. It's the music you hear when skeletons are dancing! #horror

It makes me pine for the olden times when they'd show short cartoons with every movie... #horror

Why couldn't the movie be as good as this? No Warren Ellis perhaps? #gijoe
