Boop-boop-pe-doop! It’s OSWALD!
For some reason I wondered if this would be about the forgotten OSWALD.
after Disney bugged out of that studio...the studio went on making Oswald the rabbit cartoons. there was an Oswald the rabbit tv show in the 50s...
they didn’t play them again after November 22 1963 for some reason.
Yet to be discovered is Abullah the Weasel.
They don’t talk about it as I believe that it turned out Abullah wasn’t Hala.
It looks like a every 1920s animation cliche was heaped into one film.
Have a statue of Oswald in my den. Just thought it was kind of cool and different. Picked it up on sale at the Disney store.
Now if only the BBC could find the missing episodes of Dr Who.
He was discovered in the early 2000s, made a senator and then went on to destroy the world due to lack of principled opposition.
Every now and then, some vintage Dr.Who has turned up. It seems like a few episodes were found in a station in Africa a few years ago.
Agreed.
Also wish they would find the lost episodes of Sherlock Holmes with Peter Cushing.
Disney has embraced Oswald, at least in video games. My daughter forced me to play this with her:
I loved the old Doctor Who when I was a kid in the 80s. The local PBS station was a huge supporter of Who and ran complete stories (typically 4-5 episodes long) every Saturday night. I guess they figured Whovians had no social commitments on Saturday nights, so.... ;-)
Anyway they ran the old ones from the first doctor on. I loved it. Now some of the old stories are on Netflix and I tuned in, couldn't believe how slowly the story played out. I suppose i've somehow gotten MORE impatient as I've aged.
Yep. It used to be Saturday Night Live, then Monty Python, then Dr Who.
“Boop-boop-pe-doop”
Sounds like Betty Boop
Oswald the lucky Rabbit...
Does Oswald have all his feet?
Go watch the 1933 Oswald Rabbit cartoon “Confidence”.
Surrounded by the gloom and hopelessness of the Great Depression, Oswald flies (!) to Washington D.C. to meet with the new President, Franklin Roosevelt who speaks to him of how CONFIDENCE will revive the nation.
FDR, who walks from around his desk to greet Oswald and has his office located in the Capitol building, provides the rabbit with an elixir labeled “confidence” and sends him forth to raise everyone’s spirits and persuade them to take their money from under the mattress & deposit it in a reopened FDIC bank.
Well, since Disney was "every 1920s animation cliche", that only stands to reason, doesn't it.
The Al Michaels trade needs to be renegotiated.
