What happens
The Skeleton Dance is a 1929 American animated comedy horror short film directed and produced by Walt Disney and animated by Ub Iwerks. In the film, reanimated human skeletons dance and make music around a spooky graveyard—a modern film example of medieval European "danse macabre" imagery. It is the first installment in the Silly Symphony series. The short's copyright was renewed in 1957, and as a published work from 1929, it entered the US public domain on January 1, 2025.
