The clock strikes midnight, the bats fly from the belfry, a dog howls at the full moon, and two black cats fight in the cemetery: a perfect time for four skeletons to come out and dance a bit.

This short is the birth of music and animation coinciding. There is a very clear line between this and modern day disney. But apart from its historical significance to cinema it's actually a lot of fun. The animation looks beautiful and holds up by todays standards and the music is just fun. I was surprised how much I actually enjoyed it. Its just a good time.
