The hands are cut from paper and I got the hour hand glued down and the minute hand is glued to the reindeer motor. I have to turn the motor off and on a couple times to get it to run backwards.

I've got to look for that sound. Where did you find yours?

Isn't the skeleton hand shadow actually on the wall that the clock is standing against?

Yeah, sort of. The hand is actually a moving image that is projected on the clock and spills over onto the wall behind (this is the case for the DisneyWorld H.M...I am not sure about the west coast version).

*note - I tried to find a good image of this online, but I guess it is too dark for anyone to get a good picture.

I got it on a HM 3 disc set. (I'm a little obbsesed) I would be more than happy to send you a copy on a cd through the mail of the clip and any other sounds if you want. Just pm me if you do.
