Wiki.

Hell's Bells is a 1929 animated short film which was directed by Ub Iwerks and was distributed into cinemas by the film company Columbia Pictures, who would also distribute other Walt Disney films, such as Winter. The film follows Satan and the other devils' happenings in Hell. One of these devils revolts against Satan, and end up kicking him off the cliff of Hell at the end of the film.The title means that the events in this film represent a degree of music, as bells is a musical instrument. The name also as serves as a rhyming couplet, as the word "Bells", rhymes with "Hell's".The film also has a variety of musical compositions, one of such is "In the Hall of the Mountain King", which was written by the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. This composition is used near the end of the film, as Satan gets kicked off the cliff by one of his demons. Another is "Funeral March of a Marionette" by French composer Charles Gounod, which is familiar also as the theme tune to the television series "Alfred Hitchcock Presents".

Copyrighted on February 7, 1930, but released on October 30 the year before, the film is part of the short film series Silly Symphonies. This series is the same that released other Disney films, such as Cannibal Capers, and El Terrible Toreador.
