Synopsis: The first and one of Disney’s most popular Silly Symphonies sees a group of skeletons emerging from a graveyard to dance at midnight.

Cartoon Cats: Near the beginning of the film two black cats are having a dispute as they stand on tombstones facing one another and hissing.

The cats pull each other’s noses out, shortening their tails and then snapping them back.

The one cat hisses and spits all over the other. In retaliation, the other cat spits tobacco back.

A skeleton then emerges from a grave and the cats are so scared their fur flies off. They run away.

Later when the skeletons are playing music on makeshift instruments, one of them has a cat by the tail. The cat meows as the skeleton steps on his neck and pulls out his tail to play the poor animal like a bass.

Final Mewsings: Better than the skeleton actually making catgut, I guess!
