Happy Hallowe'en

For the occasion, here is Ub Iwerks' cartoon The Skeleton Dance from 1929.  According to Boing Boing, Iwerks was a close friend and collaborator of Walt Disney's for many years and was "true creator" of the Mickey Mouse character. He left Disney and joined Columbia Pictures where in 1937 he re-imagined The Skeleton Dance in color as Skeleton Frolic (see below).
