These are treasures all right, I am so inspired by Disney's Silly Symphonies cartoons right now, especially the crazy macabre plots, synchronized music, the timing and the way it all comes together.
"The Silly Symphonies were a series of musically-themed animated shorts
that launched in 1929 and ended exactly ten years later in 1939.
Disney's chief composer Carl Stalling (who would later reach even
greater fame as the main Looney Tunes composer for Warner Bros.) began
to grow weary of writing music to match the pre-determined action and
gags of the animation in his early shorts. Stalling prompted the concept
of animation dictated by the flow of music instead. With this, Walt
eventually produced a line of unique, unrelated animated shorts known as
the Silly Symphonies. Shown before the feature film along with
newsreels and serials, the Symphonies did not feature known cartoon
characters like Mickey Mouse and the concept was a slow start with
Walt's distributor at the time".
