Silly Symphony series was a series of 75 cartoons,
beginning with 'The Skeleton Dance' in 1929.
Composer Carl Stalling suggested a second
series to Walt Disney that would be different
from the Mickey Mouse series, which was based on
musical themes, and each would feature a different
cast of characters. The series served as the
training ground for the animators and other Disney
artists as they prepared for the feature films.
