In 1931, A Merrie Melodies cartoon Hittin' the Trail for Hallelujah Land had 3 skeletons that resemble those from The Skeleton Dance. In 1982, The Skeleton Dance was featured in a colorized version during the credits of the television Halloween episodes Disney's Halloween Treat and A Disney Halloween. Clips from the original black-and-white version were used in Disney's DTV Monster Hits Halloween special (1987).
