    These remind me of the site of the 1964 World's Fair (known to many of you as those spindly spaceship things from Men in Black). 50-year-old decaying World's Fair remnants have a definite post-apocalyptic Disney World vibe going on. #alexisrockman

    Two things:
    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

    Homer Simpson: I share your xylophobia!

    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

    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
