A lot of people know the Disney classic "The Skeleton Dance", done by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks (among others). It was a perennial favorite around Halloween time, that they would usually show on Disney channel in some form or another. It and several other old "spooky" cartoons were a regular part of their Halloween season programming in the 80s and early 90s.

But there is another, later, color cartoon that Iwerks did, after he left Disney. It's called "Skeleton Frolics", and it's VERY similar, just an elaboration on his original concept, really. It was part of Columbia Pictures "Color Rhapsodies", their own answer to Disney's "Silly Symphonies" and Warner Bros.' "Merry Melodies" of the era. It originally released on January 24th, 1937.
