Skeleton Dance is definitely one of my favourite Silly Symphonies. Although it is in black and white, (not at all a bad thing) the animation is excellent, and gives a suitably macabre feel. It is very silly, yet creepy at the same time, and you know what, that's why I love it so much. The short, only about five and a half minutes, consists mainly of a skeleton dance, hence the title, that is very well choreographed to conveniently macabre music. The music was very creepy and atmospheric, and added to the appeal of Skeleton Dance. I will confess I did find the first minute or so slightly creepy, and although it is unrealistic it is all part of the fun. Although I found it a highly imaginative short, and well made, considering it was made in 1929. I love all the Silly Symphonies, and I personally think, you are never too old to appreciate Disney, especially with gems like this. 10/10 Bethany Cox.
