Hell's Bells
Directed by Ub Iwerks
Produced by Walt Disney Productions, Columbia Pictures
A darkly surreal early animation that blends hellish imagery with cartoonish music and demon antics, balancing horror aesthetics with playful absurdity.
The demons of hell play music for Satan, whose delight turns to wrath when an insubordinate refuses to become food for Cerberus.
