What if StudioCanal is founded in 1937?/Carlstoons/The Hell's Bells

The Hell's Bells is a 1940 American one-shot cartoon short directed by Ub Iwerks and produced by Stanley Carls, along with animators Thurston Harper, Dick Lundy, Ray Abrams, Don Williams, Bill Littlejohn, Stan Quackenbush, Rudy Zamora, and Shamus Culhane. It was released in theaters on February 23, 1940 by StudioCanal.

The film, which was drawn by Ub Iwerks, 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".[5]

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".
