For better or for worse, our childhoods were stamped with Walt Disney's non-sequitur logic. (Dalí, who christened him an American surrealist, saw them as flip books of delirious dreams.) After he conjured up the money-making Mickey Mouse in 1928, Disney directed The Skeleton Dance, which stars four human skeletons in a cute, demented danse macabre. The short, originally part of the Silly Symphonies series, removes reality's fetters to pave the way for the icon's all-ages masterpiece Fantasia — a dialogue-free pastiche composed of eight animated sequences in which the visual mayhem syncs with Stravinsky and Mussorgsky's bombastic swells.
