The Ironic thing is not that Ub Iwerks is remaking his own Skeleton Dance, but the fact that he made this for Charles Mintz, whom he and Walt Disney walked out on when trying to make the Oswald Negotiation.

It was made by the same animation directer of The Skeleton Dance, Ub Iwerks. Iwerks briefly worked for Columbia Cartoons after his own studio went bankrupt and his falling out with Disney. Later Iwerks would return to Disney and contribute to several special effects in animated features.

Ever since the skeleton was invented, xylophone players have made a fortune.

@willborges It's a remake of the short you mentioned. Both this cartoon and Skeleton Dance were made by Ub Iwerks. I do recommend Skeleton Dance over Skeleton Frolic. Skeleton Dance also were the first of Disney's famous Silly Symphonies.

Very amusing!! One can observe there are several elements of Disney's "Skeleton Dance", which Iwerks animated and that put in this cartoon, released 8 yars later. Good music and dance sync! Thanks for posting.

I miss watching these old cartoons that were on the box when I was a kid. So much is just consigned to the vaults of history now sadly. The animation in these early cartoons were pretty cool. There was more ideas that you could get away with back then. Unlike nowadays of course...

SKELETON FROLIC is a remake of THE SKELETON DANCE which Ub Iwerks animated for Walt Disney in 1929. Iwerks went out on his own the following year. Towards the end of the 1930s, he was doing freelance productions for Columbia and Schlesinger/Warner Brothers. This was a color remake, which was also repeated in a sense in MERRY MANNEQUINS. As for color, it existed even in the silent era. Full color Technicolor came out in 1932. You can use the Internet to find this out as well.

Really awesome! Those backgrounds are quite exquisite.

Skeletons having fun!

My goodness! That was absolutely wonderful! ☠️😈🎃👏✨

Thank you for posting these

((85 years of this Skeleton cartoon ( 💀🎃))).

This may be a copy of "Skeleton Dance", but the animation is way more advanced. The scenes with the percussionist and the four dancing skeletons are done in perspective. They almost appear to pop out of the screen, while the earlier cartoon was completely two dimensional- still wonderful but not as complex as the later cartoon. By the way, the tree at the beginning spooked me. :O

So refreshing to see these old cartoons, as they were so funny. For those with the critical comments on the musical instrument sounds etc. this is a "CARTOON" that was created for laughter and to enhance imagination into a make believe world and nothing more.

You could say this is meant to be more of an upgrade to The Skeleton Dance. Since Iwerks was the animator for the original he could have been adding in ideas that weren't seen as possible in 1929, the use of perspective being the major one.

The orchestra bit and the dancing are cute, and a new development from the Disney one.

if this is how the afterlife goes - i no longer fear death

Great cartoon. Amazing how you got the color version of this.

The idea is amazing. 👍👍👍

A really fun clip to watch. Halloween is my favorite holiday!!!!

This seems very much like a homage to Disney's Skeleton Dance, but a respectful one with great color and atmopshere, as Ub Iwerks was one of the the grand old men of the Disney animation studios. Great stuff, thank you for posting it.

This is giving my Grandfather flash backs

Ub was the master of skeletons and loved scary, spooky, and all midnighty effects. The backgrounds of this film are an incredibly creepy spongy fungus effect, as well as quite beautiful, and compliment the foreground drawing virtuosity perfectly.

I like the animation and choreography :)

In the Totally Tooned in series they put a new song, a repetitive ditty that had lasted 2:16 (2:36 - 2:54) to 5:56.

watched this on TV when I was a kid. Scared me silly.

Más allá de ser un dibujo animado no deja de dar tanto miedo 😨 como una película 🎥 de terror 😱

While The Skeleton Dance is, in my humble opinion, the undeniable superior cartoon, I'm amazed at Skeleton Frolic's surrealist, incredibly detailed backgrounds. Very stylish, the colors used help as well. I think this one's worth watching if only for that.

There was also a home movie version of this cartoon which was in black & white, but I'm not sure if it was distributed under Official Films, a successor to Castle Films. Official Films did acquired the Columbia/Screen Gems cartoons during the 1940's, but I'm not sure that the home movie version existed.

I thought it was odd that a skeleton would play a xylophone made of other skeletons skulls, then I realized they all the skulls on the xylophone had holes in them, they were killed.
