Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Walt Disney Studios has released some successful horror films, but in 1929, one horror movie was banned for being too dark for audiences. Disney's animated short The Skeleton Dance is one of the most essential animated shorts in cinematic history; it brought animation out of the silent era and was one of the first cartoons released in the golden age of animation between 1928 and 1969.

The Skeleton Dance was the first of Walt Disney's famous Silly Symphonies series of animated shorts. It was produced and directed by Walt Disney, animated by Ub Iwerks, and its score was composed by Carl W. Stalling. As implied by the title, the short 5-minute film depicts four skeletons rising from the grave and dancing, playing music, and causing havoc in the dead of night.

Disney created this short, along with Hell's Bells and The Haunted House to show that they could tackle the horror genre efficiently through animation.
