      Maybe the cartoon was released because Charles Mintz didn't notice, even though the gesture was committed thrice!

    The Ironic thing is not that Ub Iwerks is remaking his own Skeleton Dance, but the fact that he made this for Charles Mintz, whom he and Walt Disney walked out on when trying to make the Oswald Negotiation.

    It was made by the same animation directer of The Skeleton Dance, Ub Iwerks.
    Iwerks briefly worked for Columbia Cartoons after his own studio went bankrupt and his falling out with Disney. Later Iwerks would return to Disney and contribute to several special effects in animated features.

    • @garryferrington811

Disney and Columbia did a good job wit hthings like The Skeleton Dance and this as well as taking it into darker tones with stuff like Night on Bald Mountain. I miss the classic cartoons.

    SKELETON FROLIC is a remake of THE SKELETON DANCE which Ub Iwerks animated for Walt Disney in 1929. Iwerks went out on his own the following year. Towards the end of the 1930s, he was doing freelance productions for Columbia and Schlesinger/Warner Brothers. This was a color remake, which was also repeated in a sense in MERRY MANNEQUINS.
    As for color, it existed even in the silent era. Full color Technicolor came out in 1932. You can use the Internet to find this out as well.

    This may be a copy of "Skeleton Dance", but the animation is way more advanced. The scenes with the percussionist and the four dancing skeletons are done in perspective. They almost appear to pop out of the screen, while the earlier cartoon was completely two dimensional- still wonderful but not as complex as the later cartoon. By the way, the tree at the beginning spooked me. :O

    I have a nice memory of this old cartoon. I caught it a few years ago during "Totally Tooned In" on Antenna TV. My little niece was sitting with me, probably all of about three years old at the time. I asked if she wanted me to change the channel to something else, or leave this on, since I thought it might frighten her. She replied, "No, this!!" so we watched. Didn't scare her at all. In fact she was pretty fascinated by it. The music, colors and animation probably intrigued her. : )

    In the Totally Tooned in series they put a new song, a repetitive ditty that had lasted 2:16 (2:36 - 2:54) to 5:56.

    There was also a home movie version of this cartoon which was in black & white, but I'm not sure if it was distributed under Official Films, a successor to Castle Films. Official Films did acquired the Columbia/Screen Gems cartoons during the 1940's, but I'm not sure that the home movie version existed.

      I think the problem is that we all saw both on TV (or our parents saw both in the cinema), and they became conflated in our minds, so we remember the two as only being one.

      Partly is because the Screen Gems shorts which includes this one rarely aired til Antenna TV and later MeTV began altering them. Otherwise it was either the UPA shorts, the early Disney shorts or Loopy the Loop Hanna Barbera shorts that represented Columbia.

    Yes it is - that's because it was done by the same guy, Ub Iwerks, after he left Disney (and would soon come back, being a technical whiz who really transformed cartoons)

    Halloween for me as a 5 yr old in the 70s seemed drowned out compared to these old cartoons I grew up on.
    Little did we know we absolutely were the last generation to appreciate Halloween,
    Sorry gen Y and Z, you missed out.

    Thanks for the reply mattybock, but I wasn't the one who posted this cartoon:)
    Iwerks apparently was also the guy who actually designed Mickey Mouse-Disney just picked out the drawing and said he liked it.

    @willborges It's actually a spiritual successor to The Skeleton Dance, which was actually 90% animated by Ub Iwerks himself, who directs this. It's intended as a remake or a sequel of sorts.

    @AvantGardeGuy2 15 лет назад +2

    Ub Iwerks, the director of this short, was the animator for Disney's "The Skeleton Dance". But basically, your right. This is very much the exact same concept (the only real difference being that it's in color).

    • @GregoryGregory-y2p
      @GregoryGregory-y2p Год назад

      Disney's credit reads, "Drawn by Ub Iwerks." This one lists him as Director.
