Imagine never having seen a tv show or a modern movie. Now imagine sitting in a darkened theatre watching this. I guarantee you would absolutely lose your cool when that huge skull suddenly comes out at you. All this was amazing to the people who first saw it.

Geekerama. Yep, this was big time scary for kids back then, I’m sure. That was a *much* simpler time. Moviegoers in 1929 probably shrieked at the skeleton head extreme closeups. We take gore and violence for granted today. Today’s unbelievably violent crap would never get out of the animator’s studio door back then.
I’m teaching myself animation using a program that makes it fairly easy to make my own cartoons. I watch this and am in awe of the talent, imagination, and hard work that went into these cartoons. All I have to do is click and drag a pre-keyframed action to the character. I cannot conceive of the amount of work that was done, by hand, to make those skeletons dance so smoothly. Cartoons aren’t kid stuff! 😉
My great-grandmother was almost 35 years old in 1929. о_о She was born in the Russian Empire, but in 1929 in the Soviet Union did not show this cartoon. I was born in 1997.
If you thing that's the first jumps are then checkout the bedroom scene from the cabinet of doctor caligary that's from 1920 and is actually scary even today if you don't expect it
This cartoon is still a masterpiece, and it was included on the 16-LP boxed set called the "Silly Symphony Collection" where it featured the complete soundtracks along with dialogue and sound effects from all of the cartoons. As for this cartoon, even by 1929 standards, it's still a test of time. The music for this cartoon was done by Carl Stalling, and that was 7 years before he joined WB for the music for all of the "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies' series. Prior to joined WB, he did the music for early Disney cartoons with Mickey Mouse along with the first of many "Silly Symphony" cartoons, and then he also did the music for Flip the Frog, Willie Whopper and the ComiColor cartoons under Ub Iwerks until 1936. Carl Stalling was the master of genius.
I realize that something is REALLY OLD when was not even my grandmother had been born in 1929. And even after so long, this cartoon not been forgotten. Awsome.
+Akifah Alam Ubbe Ert Iwwerks born 24.03.1901 in Kansas City, died 07.07.1971 in Burbark. Carl Walter Stalling born 10.11.1891 died 29.11.1972.... any questions?
oKay so when I was younger i played a game called Epic Mickey 2; the power of two, and im pretty sure this is one of the stages. I CANT believe i found this. thanks so much. Ive been looking for years.
Alex Henderson you just said that because it could have been true, because yes it was creepy and yes people back then did get scared more easily but how could it be banned from TV?..
I feel that, if this was done today. Someone, somewhere would find this offensive, and it would be banned from someplace and be labeled as politically incorrect
At 1:31 to 1:44, that part was seen in the movie Ghost Rider. The part where you see Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) watching it while eating his jellybeans in his apartment.
+Jules Cadence All of them, most likely. This was made 86 years ago, anyone who could've worked on it at the time would be well over 100 now. And since the number of centenarians compared to the world's population is pretty low, the chances that even one of them would've worked on this are incredibly low
The Sorge With the usual kind of burying? O_o What are your resources for this? I've seen pretty old corpses still having flesh, but maybe they were embalmed or buried in certain ground.
The *20th century* was a decade that began on January 1, 1901, and ended on December 31, 2000. The *193rd decade* was a decade that began on January 1, 1921, and ended on December 31, 1930.
Me being a huge fan of Tim Burton, here's a fun fact: The scene from Corpse Bride with Bonejangles singing the story about how Emily had died, it's way of playing out was influenced by this.
So according to Disney, skeletons awake in the middle of the night, dance, and then go to sleep again, and that's for the rest of the eternity, meaning THE RIDE NEVER ENDS?
thank you for posting this! I just saw it for the first time in the extras for the game Epic Mickey 2 and decided to see if it was online, fully expecting it to not be because Disney haha.

I had never heard of this Silly Symphony before until a collection of them came out on DVD at one time, it's one of my all time favorites!
3:57 I can just imagine how that feels.
I need that
Any one else prefer this type of animation then the new 3D stuff that Disney do
I love this classics!!!
Nothing beats the old classic cell-drawn animation! It's a dying art. The 3D stuff is good but this is so much better!
Adam Kavanagh I definitely agree! 2D just flows so much better!
No, not really.
Adam Kavanagh omg yes
that skeleton just slapped its ass...
their pelvis.
pelvis is alive!
The Occasional HaHa idk it's an old cartoon for 1929 so deal with it
It's part of a dance called the charleston
it's a old cartoon so people then might slapp there ass/but
You know some family was out at the movies, and the grandmother was like "Oh, I don't like that! That's satanic!". XD

In about 90 years, Warner Bros. would use the "skeleton as a xylophone" gag in "Corpse Bride".
76 years later, how is that almost 90?
+Marcus Postma This came out in 1926, so says the title. Therefore, yes, it is 90.
The skeleton dance came out in 1929, corpse bride in 2005.
To be fair, I think "skeleton as a xylophone" is used by just about everyone, every time skeletons and humour are put together :)
Fledhyris Proudhon except for Undertale
new Castlevania looks pretty good
Oh, oh ho! Ha!
Oh, oh ho! Ha!
Nearly 90 years later and this still stacks up. What a great cartoon.
1:44 the first jumpscare in history
If you thing that's the first jumps are then checkout the bedroom scene from the cabinet of doctor caligary that's from 1920 and is actually scary even today if you don't expect it

You should keep in mind that all of this is hand drawn! Not like todays cartoons..
With today's technology we should have made just as smooth or smother animation than we did years ago.
I Really love that period of time
A lot of cartoons still are hand drawn what're you talking about
Not really, usually CG now
what a waste of time
5:08 WTF🤣

1929 animation still better than any CGI...
Stop it, get some help

I don't really like comparing the two, it's apples to oranges. CGI obviously gives better detail but 2D animation has a lot of charm.

ARE YOU JOKING?!?
WHAAAAAATTTTT?????
When the skeleton moves up to the screen man was totally not expecting that. Actually managed to freak me out (unlike modern 3D movies).
This was actually banned from TV because it was way too creepy for it's time.
tvs didn't exist back then Haha, well they weren't as popular as the radio but the probably saw this in the movies or something hahaha
