Tom tumbled bumblingly through the bull's tumultuous tum -- bulging bulbously I'll bet it be'd, branded "Big Bob's Bad Bulls" positively -- proceeding, Tom pulverized the pulsing pouch-pumps and played prettily in the dank dung which dangled delightfuly til daybreak, which it turns out, stank. Yanked awake by the bake of the sky's yellow cake, Tom turned tornadoous, whirling swirly down the side of the city, squashing silly sight-seers sideways til the bamboozled boobs fed their ooze to the buzzards bewilderingly.

This is a found things blog. I made none of it. There is no theme except for whatever I am interested in at any given time. I lose followers when I post something that I really like and I gain them when I post nothing. Yet I go on.

The Skeleton Dance is a 1929 Silly Symphonies animated short subject produced and directed by Walt Disney and animated by Ub Iwerks. In the film, four human skeletons dance and make music around a spooky graveyard. It is the first entry in the Silly Symphonies series. In 1994, it was voted #18 of the 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time by members of the animation field.

While many claim that the musical score was adapted from the Saint-Saëns composition Danse Macabre, Carl Stalling explained, in a 1969 interview, that it was actually a foxtrot set in a minor key. Stalling suggested the idea for a series of musical one-shot cartoons to Disney at a gag meeting in 1929. Stalling also adapts Edvard Grieg’s “The March of the Trolls” for part of the skeleton dance music.

The skeletons dance in various ways and play makeshift musical instruments. In one scene, all four skeletons hold hands and dance in a circle, akin to schoolchildren dancing “Ring a Ring O’Roses”. In another scene, a skeleton pulls the thigh bones off another and plays the thighless skeleton like a xylophone. A skeleton also plays a cat like a double bass, using a bow and the cat’s tail as the strings. One skeleton dances part of the Charleston.

It is notable for being the first animated cartoon to use non-post-sync sound. Animation from this short was later reused in the Mickey Mouse short Haunted House, in which Mickey, having taken shelter in a haunted house, is forced to play music for the dancing skeletons.

The cartoon was created in black and white on standard 1.33:1 35mm film. The original music for both the title card and ending card was missing in recent prints, so music (and sounds) from later Mickey Mouse short “The Mad Doctor” and the ending music of Mickey Mouse shorts of the time were used respectively.
