This cartoon creation to Saint-Saens’ Danse Macabre is the best of them all - it remains the perennial favorite of mine. And mind you, I’m 77 years old and waiting to have at least one grandchild from our one and only child who’s now 37 years old! Thank you sooo much for the pleasure.

This piece is the reason I fell in love with the violin as a kid. My first musical obsession - as soon as I heard it I wanted to learn how to play it. 40 yrs later I'm still playing :) 🎻💀
I agree. However, even though I won a music prize that awarded me free violin lessons (when I was 11), my parents would not let me accept them. No beginner violinist at home for them! Such a pity. Stringed instruments are such wonderful teachers.
I haven’t seen this since I was a kid. Thank you for posting this video. When I was a kid, there were so many cartoons that introduced me to classical music. I miss those days.
Danse Macabre I have loved since I was about 4 years old. I choreographed to it, became a musician because of it ( and a few others). Very important to me. Thank you.
The cartoons of my youth (I’m 59) - amusing, and it gave one a bit of appreciation for classical music. I can recall a Bugs Bunny cartoon featuring The Barber of Seville.
"Come out, come out, come out from your grave It's time to twirl and dance and play Tonight's the night of Halloween Let's dance around til the morning gleam" -my music teacher Mrs Dix
Zig 'nd zig 'nd zig, Death rhythmically Beats upon a tomb with his heel, Death at midnight plays a dance tune, Zig 'nd zig 'nd zag, upon his violin. Winter's breeze blows, and the night is sombre, Groaning comes from the lime trees; White skeletons pass through the shadows Running and leaping beneath their great shrouds, Zig 'nd zig 'nd zig, each one is jigging, One hears the clack of the bones of the dancers, A lustful couple sit themselves upon the moss As though to taste of ancient sweets. Zig 'nd zig 'nd zag, Death continues Scraping endlessly his shrill instrument. A veil has fallen! The dancer is nude! Her partner presses amorously. The dame, they say, a marquise or baroness And the old casanova a poor cartwright - Horror! And she is wanton As though the lout were a baron! Zig 'nd zig 'nd zig, what a stately dance! What circles of the dead, each offering a hand! Zig 'nd zig 'nd zag, one sees among the band The king capering with the villein! But look! Of a sudden they quit the round, One pushes, one flees, the cock has crowed Oh! A fine night for this poor world! And long live Death and Equality!
This us one if the most ab fab animated dance musicals EVER!!! Danse Macabre is such a fun n frolicking video that brings back MAJOR memories of watching this in the 1960's when I was a uoung child n I have loved it ever since!!! Totally awesome Skeleton Dance 🩰!!!! Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre (Dance of Death) is based on this poem Danse Macabre by Henri Cazalis. Tap, tap, tap-Death rhythmically, Taps a tomb with his heel, Death at midnight plays a gigue, Tap, tap, tap, on his violin. The Winter wind blows, the night is dark, The lime-trees groan aloud; White skeletons flit across the gloom, Running and leaping beneath their huge shrouds Tap, tap, tap, everyone’s astir, You hear the bones of the dancers knock, A lustful couple sits down on the moss, As if to savour past delights. Tap, tap, tap, Death continues, Endlessly scraping his shrill violin A veil has slipped! The dancer’s naked! Her partner clasps her amorously. They say she’s a baroness or marchioness, And the callow gallant a poor cartwright. Good God! And now she’s giving herself, As though the bumpkin were a baron! Tap, tap, tap, what a saraband! Circles of corpses all holding hands! Tap, tap, tap, in the throng you can see King and peasant dancing together! But shh! Suddenly the dance is ended, They jostle and take flight-the cock has crowed… Ah! Nocturnal beauty shines on the poor! And long live death and equality!
@@edithchetelat8324 Zig et zig et zig, la mort en cadence Frappant une tombe avec son talon, La mort à minuit joue un air de danse, Zig et zig et zag, sur son violon.

Et vive la mort et l'égalité!
Wow, thank you for that. I do not know why, but I associate the poem and the music somewhat to Mozart. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and that 'deal' he or some other people made with ?? to get Mozart to keep writing music.
80s Disney's short film take on Saint Saens, one of my favorite numbers when I played viola in orchestra and one of the all time great Halloween tunes, I still picture in my mind the spirits dancing into their graves as the sun rises. i saw this on TV when I was a very young person in the 80s
Music teacher here. I was about to show this to my classes today. Now I'm rethinking my plan. I've never noticed that bit before, but you can bet I have Kindergarteners who will 🤣
And,in 1940 when Walt Disney had released “Fantasia,” it had flopped at the box office.Nowadays,when most people see it, they consider it to be an animated music video like “Yellow Submarine” by the Beatles!!!

Are you sure it was this specific song? There is Disney’s Silly Symphony “The Skeleton Dance” that has a different song, but is somewhat similar and in black and white

Who got this recommended by TH-cam after watching Epica's recent rock version where they added lyrics, and which they made together with the amusement park Efteling in The Netherlands?
These old cartoons taught me an appreciation of classical music before I knew anything about classical music. 🙏
Definitely
Although I heard and learned about it pretty early on in grade school.
This isn’t the original score/ soundtrack to this cartoon.
It’s way, way better

One of the nicest pieces of French music ever composed and a wonderful animated cartoon

В этой музыке есть всё! Потрясающая энергетика уживается с нежным лиризмом. Слушать можно бесконечно. Сен-Санс, спасибо!

They were beautiful cartoons.
That's "the Rabbit of Seville".
He also did a parody of Wagner in "What's Opera, Doc?"

@@edithchetelat8324 Zig et zig et zig, la mort en cadence
Frappant une tombe avec son talon,
La mort à minuit joue un air de danse,
Zig et zig et zag, sur son violon.
Le vent d'hiver souffle, et la nuit est sombre,
Des gémissements sortent des tilleuls;
Les squelettes blancs vont à travers l'ombre
Courant et sautant sous leurs grands linceuls,

On entend claquer les os des danseurs,
Un couple lascif s'asseoit sur la mousse
Comme pour goûter d'anciennes douceurs.

De racler sans fin son aigre instrument.
Un voile est tombé! La danseuse est nue!
Son danseur la serre amoureusement.

Et le vert galant un pauvre charron -
Horreur! Et voilà qu'elle s'abandonne

Sorry I don't speak english 😅
Spooky, like "in the hall of the Mountain King", fantastic!😮❤
What about "Night on Bald Mountain"?
Hermosa melodía y bellos recuerdos de mi infancia la escuché por primera vez cuando tenía 7 años en blanco y negro en TV. ❤❤👌🎧😅
Me ha encantado la animación de "La Danza Macabra" de Saint-Saëns. ¡Es realmente espectacular!

Muy original, 😃
This wasn't random. You searched for this.
No I did not actually.
I just saw it on the recommended side
Sooooo yeah
Yes .-.
Yes, I did. You are correct.
Actually, I was forced to come here. Schoolwork and all-
It was an alternative search tbh.
Small wonder how animation and classical music can go together so well!!!
And,in 1940 when Walt Disney had released “Fantasia,” it had flopped at the box office.Nowadays,when most people see it, they consider it to be an animated music video like “Yellow Submarine” by the Beatles!!!
They also considered both Walt Disney’s “Fantasia” and “Fantasia 2000” a feature length music video as well!!!
🕊🌟🕊
This is
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
🙏💜🙏
💜🎵💜
Probably just as excellent as seeing “A Night on Bald Mountain” from Walt Disney’s “Fantasia!!!”
C'est juste magnifique et avec tellement d'humour !!!!!!!!!!!
С оригинальной музыкой к этому мультфильму было бы ещё интереснее.

Очень интересно было смотреть, и слушать. Музыка великолепная. С удовольствием посмотрела. И с юмором полный порядок.
For me this is the Masterpiece of Camile Saint-Sans.
A Classic comes even More to Life, Fabuleux
I have always loved this song since I was a small child and our music teacher introduced it to us in class. I recall there was a cartoon we watched but I thought it was black and white. Could it have been this?
Same here, I could never remember what this was call.
So I looked up Halloween violin and this popped up.😂
There are several different animations for this song, check em all out !
This piece is called “Dance Macabre” by Saint Saëns.
Are you sure it was this specific song? There is Disney’s Silly Symphony “The Skeleton Dance” that has a different song, but is somewhat similar and in black and white

I was questioning my own mental sanity listening this with my eyes closed... power of mind
If they were of the same era I could see Saint Saen and Tim Burton collaborating.
Fière d'être française en écoutant ça ! merci Camille !

xxcolby brockxx I think it had to do with Mickey Mouse
Mickey’s House of Villains when Mickey and Minnie had their short Halloween segment as Hansel and Gretel. They were forced to escape the witch and the house made of candy.
It was in the movie "Tombstone" during the stage performance of Faust.

Also in a Russian cartoon called Незнайка (the proper noun version of "idk," pronounced Neznaika)
