The skeleton dance

Skeletons dancing
The skeleton Dance is a 1929 animation apart of the  "Silly Symphonies animated short subject produced and directed by Walt Disney and animated by Ub Iwerks."

In the film four human skeletons dance around the grave yard making music as they move, they dance in sync this is said to be a modern film example of the "danse macabre" a dutch myth where the dead are supposed to be personified "summoning representatives from all walks of life to dance along to the grave, typically with a popeemperorking, child, and labourer. They were produced to remind people of the fragility of their lives and how vain were the glories of earthly life."
