is it just me or did Tim Burton get inspired for "The Corpse Bride" by this video? Just because of the butterfly thing. It's hard to explain. Please know I am a HUGE TB fan so its not degrading him.
A Danse Macarbe is a device used to remind us all of the inevitability of death..as the end of this wonderful cartoon demonstrates! She thought it was all just a dream, but no, there was Death at the end just biding his time..fabulous music and brilliantly realised in this animation!! Five stars!
this is available on a dvd series called "shorts" & available online. we were shown this in my digital illustration class during my MFA program & i am still wowed each time i watch it.
this was briliant! I love this musical piece so much. It's so beautiful. This video was amazing too.
I remember first hearing this in 3rd grade. I remember mostly everyone being weirded out but I instantly fell in love with it. :D
I remember we got a few worksheets with very poor quality grainy drawings of them of images portrayed in the song, and Death looks much different. I think there was a video too, but not this one. Death had a black shroud. Anyone know where I could find it?
i have been lookin for this for awhile but this still isnt the right one grrr where is it!!??it was where the boy and the girl skeletons fall in love then fly away in the night
some one help me plz!!! its sorta similer to this one there is one skeleton with a violin but he brings others to life but at the end the sun comes up then they all leave HELP ME PLZ!!
I know! me too! it scared the crap out of me then, but now I love it and I wish I could find it! If you find it, can you please pm it to me, or if I find it I'll do the same.
Loveit

This is a great version of a classic. I can tell that a great deal of hard work went into this.
Great humor of a dark subject.

Fantastich! Die Zeichnungen sind gruselig aber doch schoen, Der Tod
ist zwar furchteregend aber hat auch
etwas fazinierendes an sich! Und dazu die grossartige Musik von Saint Saens!

Im not either m8 but it's Dase Macabre. There's no "m"

Yes, it does but I think they named it the "Midnight Dance" because she's having a night time dream of death.
