Even back in animation's early days, there was a rivalry of animation styles between Disney Studios and Warner Brothers Studios. While Warner Bros had Looney Tunes, Disney had Silly Symphonies. This is the first of those animations, titled "The Skeleton Dance," done in 1929 by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks (he who is responsible for the Mickey Mouse we know today). Music by Carl Stalling. Surprisingly dark material for Disney, and fascinating if looked at within the context of the ongoing theme of "the skeleton dance" throughout history.
