5 min · 1929 · Directed by Walt Disney · 3.9 / 5 on Letterboxd

The Skeleton Dance (1929) runs 5 min, directed by Walt Disney. It is one of 3,647 films in the 100 Minute Movies catalog — every one rated 3.0 or higher by Letterboxd members and short enough to finish in an evening.

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.
