Now that I've watched this cartoon as a public domain short, I can call myself satisfied that it's now possible for an indie filmmaker to work on a Silly Symphonies-type concept with the popular songs that came out the very year that Disney's cartoon series made its debut!

FYI, songs that joined the public domain this year include:
"Ain't Misbehavin'", "Can't We Be Friends?", "Honeysuckle Rose," "I Guess I'll Have to Change My Plan," "Just You, Just Me," "More Than You Know," "Singin' in the Rain," "Stardust," "What Is This Thing Called Love?", and "Without a Song."

Additionally, other songs that became PD in recent years include "I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby," "Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love," "Ramona," "There's a Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder," "The Best Things in Life Are Free," and "Mississippi Mud."

I wonder how many people are going to click this expecting it to be set to "spooky scary skeletons". I'd be willing to bet more people are familiar with edits of this animation set to that song than the original.

Lots of people I know are familiar with it as Spooky scary, but whenever they see the original they really enjoy :)

It really makes me want to pick up my bass clarinet, and start playing along.

Was Edward Grieg in public domain in 1929 ?

I wonder if we will see orchestras playing the score to the music.

While it didn't launch a Mickey Mouse tier character, Skeleton Dance really showed what animation in the age of Talkies, with time and talent, could be like.
