Musical Monday: The Skeleton Dance

This may be one of the nuttiest things you'll see the Holloween Season. It may 90 years old, but this early Disney cartoon is just as fun and crazy and many things being made today. It's a little slow in the wind-up, but your patience will be amply rewarded with lots of macabre mirth once it gets going. Enjoy--and may you be filled with the Spirit of Halloween!
