As we hear the chimes at midnight and bats flutter from a belfry; as a hound howls at the full moon and black cats brawl on the tombstones; Through the gloom, white skeletons pass, Running and leaping in their shrouds!

In 10 years, this will be 100 years old

God the fact that this is nearly 100 years old mind boggles me. The animation holds up tremendously nearly a century later

I don’t think people understand how groundbreaking this was for 1929

I absolutely still cherish this antimated cartoon.When I was a little girl 60 plus years ago. I'd sit on the floor ,in front of a big 4 legged tube TV that had rabbit ears and wait for this every morning . This brings back forgotten memories. Thankyou so much

The animators didn’t know they were making a masterpiece

If there's one thing that unites all the classic Disney cartoons, it's forcibly using animals as an instrument.

This animation is SOOOO satisfying to me. It’s very detailed, atmospheric, and the contrasts are on point.

I love how skeletons just don't seem bothered by anything.

Fun fact: This film was actually banned in Denmark when it came out because it was too graphic.

The animation is superb. And those "3d" closeups... I'm just astonished at the level of sophistication and workmanship. Truly, a work of art.

I can’t believe I’m almost 56 years old and have never seen this in its entirety until now. I’ve seen bits and pieces of it in music videos and gifs/memes, but never the entire cartoon. This is truly a masterpiece!

Those skeletons should consider getting calcium supplements. Having bones that bendy can't be good.

Why does this feel so nostalgic even tho I never watched it as a kid?

I can't believe it's been almost 94 years since skeleton memes were invented.

When I was in elementary school, the music teacher would put this on at Halloween time and it was my favorite thing in the world. I ALWAYS looked forward to watching this. #nostalgia
