Funny and very clever. These animators knew their craft, and were enjoying themselves. The music was tailor made for a Skeleton Crew.

The music was by Carl W. Stalling, who did the music for all the best Warner Bros. Looney Tunes.

I LOVE that cartoon! It is pure genius using a brand new medium. The junk made since Disney stopped using hand-drawn gels doesn't compare.

I also really like "Skeleton Dance" set to "Shaking All Over" by the Guess Who.

When you move in right up close to me
That's when I get the chills all over me

Quivers down my backbone
I got the shakes in my thigh bone
I got the shivers in my knee bone
Shakin' all over

That song fits "Skeleton Dance" perfectly!

Thanks for the link to the Wiki bio of Ub Iwerks. I’d never heard of the man before — he was a real genius and innovator!
