Vintage halloween cartoons

~Happy Halloween!~


Disney's "The Skeleton Dance" from Silly Symphony (1929)

Although this Disney short was created in 1929 it is a cartoon that many seem to remember from childhood. I certainly do!



When his own animation studio closed in 1936, Ub Iwerks became a director at the Columbia animation department. One of his cartoons from the Columbia period is "Skeleton Frolic", a Color Rhapsody released in 1937.


A Columbia cartoon, directed by Ub Iwerks - "The Skeleton Frolic" (1937)



You may notice that there are a lot of similarities between the two animated shorts. It seems to be almost like a color remake. Either way they are both entertaining.

Have fun spooking tonight!
