Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Rainey Dawn I would love to own cartoon classics like this one - perfect for Halloween. During All Hallow's Eve is when I enjoy these cartoons the most but I love the for all times of the year.This one is super cute, for adults as well as the children. It's short and fun. Watching it brings me back to my childhood years... a great feeling.Sometimes you can find these classic cartoons online for viewing - but I don't know where to buy a collection of these spooky classics but I'd sure love to own them on DVD.10/10

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Skeleton Frolics" is a 7-minute cartoon from 1937 and a remake of Disney's pretty famous "Skeleton Dance" from 8 years ago. I don't really remember the original, but all I can think of that is different here is the inclusion of colors. Basically all we see during this one is a bunch of skeletons having a great time, making music, having a party etc. until day breaks and they all get back to where they came from. But don't worry. They will return the next day, or I should maybe say night. I do not find animation legend Ub Iwerks' film really memorable here. The only thing interesting to me is the way horror is portrayed here in cartoon, not a too frequent subject back then and today it isn't either, although there are of course exceptions. Still, 7 fairly forgettable minutes. Not recommended.

Robert Reynolds I really wanted to love this short, because it's by Ub Iwerks and it revisits one of his greatest projects from his first stint at Disney. It was enjoyable, but nothing special. There will be mild spoilers:This short is a poor man's Skeleton Dance. It is good, but has a few flaws which keep it from being anything more than an amusing variation on a theme, forever in the long shadow cast by its predecessor. The greatest of these flaws is the decision to do the short in color as opposed to black and white. Color robs this short of an atmosphere more appropriate for skeletons engaging in a frolic in and around a graveyard in the dead of night. The visuals are nice, but the situations are almost pedestrian given the tone created by the colors, which are too bright at times. Some bits are nice, if predictable because they were hardly novel even 76 years ago. Images of skeletons dancing or playing instruments are not exactly new and they really weren't new in 1937, You can be predictable and still be entertaining or even remarkable if there's enough there to grab the audience's attention. That really isn't the case here. It's fun to watch at least once, but doesn't really grab the viewer's attention steadily. Worth seeing, but nothing out of the ordinary.

tavm Having just seen Walt Disney's The Skeleton Dance on the Saturday Morning Blog as linked from YouTube, I used those same sources to watch a remake done in Technicolor for the Columbia cartoon unit and animated by the same man-Ub Iwerks. The colors, compared to the earlier black and white, are really used imaginatively here and many of the new gags-like when one of the skeletal band players hits a wrong note constantly or when one loses his head and takes another one's off or when one dances with the other with part of that other gone-are just as funny as the previous short. It does get a little repetitious near the end. Still, Skeleton Frolics is well worth seeing for any animation buff who wants to compare this with the earlier Silly Symphony.
