Although this 1937 cartoon is a blatant ripoff of the original Skeleton Dance made in 1929…I don’t care. I still love it. Go ahead…try not to find it adorable!

IMO, you can never have too many dancing skeleton cartoons, we need more. And this one has some great gags! Somehow I hadn’t seen this before, thanks!
And a black cat exploding into a bunch of smaller black cats?? Yes, please.
The exploding cat is one of my favorite parts! (Wow, there’s a sentence this cat lover never thought she would hear herself say!)
It was just so random and unexpected. And I want a tiny cat. 🙂
Oh how this makes me long for October!!!! Halloween can’t come fast enough.
I’ve really been getting the Halloween itch lately. Perhaps I’ll do something Halloween-ish on the blog around the six month mark in April.
You posted this for me, right? I’m going to believe it so! You know my great love for these delightful friends. I’d love to purchase a copy of this little cartoon. The internet is wonderful but I still like holding things and making them mine. ❤
Oh Carrie, I actually meant to put it dedication in here to you! Drat!
I love this! Except for the cat abuse part in the begining, but then again they did kind of deserve it didn’t they.
I know. I don’t even like seeing anything happen to cartoon cats!
Hmmm, I wonder – I’ve been trying to find this vintage cartoon I remember seeing a long time ago that depicts Hell and dancing devils in a cave or something. It may have been Disney or Warner Bros. but I really want to find that cartoon again for an art piece I’m working on. You who has such incredible connections, have any ideas which cartoon/company that was?
It sounds very familiar. I’ll try to look into it and see if I can find it for you.
aw, that’s okay – I just thought there was an off chance you might know which one I was talking about : ) I love the dancing skeletons in this post!
Oh to be a child in those era’s would’ve been a dream! Now I am REALLY missing Halloween, to the point of impatience. SO cute! Silly Symphony’s dance will always be my hearts favorite, though. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this adorableness. xx
You’re very welcome. I’m glad you like it!
