A Horse is a Horse...Of Course?

Flip the Frog escapes from one of Ub Iwerks’ murderous skeletons in Spooks (1932), crashing through them while riding the underside of an operating table.



Flip rides off on his horse to safety. Or does he?



He jumps off the skeletonized horse and runs into the distance to end the cartoon.



Iwerks indulges in his skeleton fetish that began at Disney with The Skeleton Dance (1929). Everything except Flip is a skeleton in this cartoon—skeleton food, skeleton dog, skeleton fleas.

There are no credits on this short except to Iwerks.
