Disney’s Forgotten 94-Year-Old Horror Movie Beat Superman In 1994’s Greatest Cartoons Poll

Disney played an instrumental role in the history of animation, and one often overlooked horror movie was among its most influential cartoons ― even beating the classic 1941 Superman animation in a 1994 poll. At a time when Disney was associated with the cheerfully whistling Mickey Mouse in Steamboat Willie, it was surprising the studio took a chance on a spooky subject. Its willingness to do so resulted in one short movie being counted among its greatest cartoons nearly 100 years later. It’s certainly a film that deserves to be dusted off and celebrated for Disney’s 100th birthday.
