Silly Symphonize: February 2010
http://sillysymphonize.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 12, 2010. El Terrible Toreador - September 7, 1929. Is 2nd in the Silly Symphonies cartoon series, and unfortunately its name fits a little too well. Coming off the heels of the entertaining The Skeleton Dance. This film manages to pale in comparison with decent animation but nothing spectacular. The audience is next introduced to the Mexican officer who obviously has an eye for the lovely Carmencita. Displeased with the officer's manhandling of Carmencita, El Toreador calls him out and ...

Silly Symphonize: Hell's Bells - October 30, 1929
http://sillysymphonize.blogspot.com/2010/08/hells-bells-october-30-1929.html
Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Hell's Bells - October 30, 1929. Is the fourth film in the Silly Symphonies series. It's an interesting, though rather macabre toon that shows great animation style. Opens rather dramatically as fire engulfs the screen to reveal a chamber of Hell. From around the fire pit emerges a hooded Grim Reaper character, setting the scene for evil mischief. A great gag is presented here as a bat is eaten by some sort of demonic snake. The snake at once sprouts wings and flies away.
