Description What is it about old cartoons and synchronized dancing skeletons? Seriously, Disney, Warner Brothers, Iwerks -- they all did it. And then there was that immortal Betty Boop cartoon with the funky Cab Calloway soundtrack, from whence i lifted the title of this piece. Technically the song is called "Minnie The Moocher", but who among us doesn't remember that old "hi-dee hi" hook?

Anyway, here's my homage to my favorite old-school cartoon clichee -- synchronized skeletons!

P.S. It's wallpaper dimensions. looks like crap if your desktop is too cluttered, but awesome if ya only have an icon or two!

I like to think alll the dancing skellitons is just the animators showing off, "hey look how good we can animate dancing people! 8DD"

This is very well drawn. I have seen the dancing skeletons cartoon by Iwerks. I hate the fact that many of the animations are used in Mickey's "Haunted House." Nice style.

yeah, that bugs me a bit too, but...

"Play"
"I c-c-can't play..."
"PLAY!"
"y-y-yes m-m-m'amm"

^that part absolutely kills me.

anyway, thanks for stopping by my humble gallery!

I like the distressed-film look... and the way you captured that subtle layered effect you see in old cartoons-- the backgrounds done in painterly detail with the foregrounds crisp and inked-in.

RaggedyAnarchist In reply to klausmusik [2005-04-10 05:22:56 +0000 UTC]

oh, good! i wasn't sure if the "layered" thing was gonna be obvious or if people were just gonna think i was too lazy to make the skeletons liik attatched to the background.

thanks for the comment!
