Oh this is WAY cool! My Dad was born in 1922 and used to tell me about Oswald. I love the vaudeville house setting (reminds me of the Muppet Show and Bugs Bunny show). Some nice pre-code humor as the sly doog (er..rabbit) sueezes the madame's booty at 2:00 and tons of clever gags. Mlle Zulu is clearly a takeoff on the legendary Josephine Baker. Oz rules!
The guys who worked on Oswald invented a lot of the gags you'd see in other famous cartoons, like Tom and Jerry. Oswald was the first to do that climbing up the invisible poll gag, and in a different cartoon was the first to do that walking on the air gag. All these cartoons are very entertaining and prove that Walt Disney's always been a bit of a innovator
I don't know. The copyright was renewed according to the Disney Wiki back in 1956. However most likely it would enter public domain in January. This short was released in 1928. All of the 1927 Oswald shorts are in the public domain.
When you wrote the comment, this Oswald cartoon wasn’t public domain quite yet. But now that it’s 2024, bright lights (and pretty much all the Disney Oswald cartoons) are public domain
Nowadays we'd metaphorically-kill for today's stage shows (and movies-on-film for that matter) to be only 50 cents. Only back then, 50 cents was more like what $7.42 is today (I looked it up), which is still a really good price for a stage show or movie ticket. Part of the fun of watching old cartoons like this is thinking about how different things were back then. :)
When I was a kid, Universal's Oswald toons by both Walters were shown on local TV. Since Disney didn't sell Mickey Mouse animated shorts for television syndication packages as Paramount, WB, MGM & other studios did, we seldom saw Mickey. So, cartoonwise, we kids knew more about Oswald the Rabbit than Mickey the mascot for Disney Inc. 🐇🐰🐇🐰
According to the new Oswald book by David Borsett the Dancing sequences are all messed up. both in reverse order those at the start and one dance sequence in the middle of the short which comes out of nowere.
I honestly don't think it should be a regular thing, and don't think it'd get disney very many views either if it was a regular thing, but a monthly or biannual showing of old Disney shorts would be cool ....maybe not this one, involving basically a strip show lol, but for others including mickeh and oswald and such would be cool
Концептуально - сползание в финале театра как покрова, не скрывающего ничего под собой, символизирует приход театральной формы как таковой, избавленной от сцены; зритель наблюдает ее изменения не во внутреннем отношении (к тем или другим таким же лицам на сцене), а в отнесённости к себе (прыжки львов в камеру, когда только и начинается настоящее представление), которое есть обозначение своей анимационной, практически безграничной и, как со всяким я, неустойчивой, природы.
1920!? Parce qu'on dirait bien que la cat-dancer est inspirée de Josephine Baker... Il est vrai que celle-ci s'est mariée à... 13 ans, et qu'elle dansait déjà..

Ermm. Is you dad 102? And how old are you?
Does he know anything about “The Bankers Daughter”?
What was considered "raunchy" back then is pretty tame by today's standards.

Oswald + Public Domain = 2024
Great use of cartoon physics in this short. Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks were geniuses! This is my favorite Oswald cartoon.

A cute simp
Give me the old time Oswald or Mickey over the wimpy current Mickey anytime!
1:56 *Gives him 2 quarters* Enjoy the show Oswald.
I woke up a 3:00am once and fell asleep to this cartoon lol
2:56 Wow, mini Oswalds.
They're cute
I need one, i pay ¢50 for one
6 Mini Oswalds x $0.50 = $3.00
@@Female-Taurusnow it's $.50= around 6 so it's now like $36
I think it’s cute when he only has the no mouth but big black eyes and small look design.

Better than all the junk on disney channel today
100%
The person who misspells idiot, should not call others stupid. Just, saying. These are fun cartoons, let's not post mean comments.
This I wat Disney should show on Disney channel
Emo Spicy Boi but small children might not know what the cartoon is,who the character is and have A LOT of questions
Rafael Sandoval bro, your saying in order for kids to watch it, they need to know what the character is? Get your brain checked.

Well, Walt Disney made both characters.
You mean, Oswald and Mickey?
Yes
Crude as this is, the girl dancing in the spotlight casting a shadow is very ambitious for the time.
My childhood
6:56 That's why you don't use rubber bands for bars on a cage
I Love Oswald
Wesh c'est la maman à Félix la danseuse 😂😂😂
4:00 this exact same gag happened in a Flip the Frog cartoon.
Welp Ub created Flip and Ub used to help Walt
The cartoon is great but I wish the music was more fitting to it
This soundtrack is for a different carroon
@@theechickengamerz oh i see
1:08 😱 *Faints* 😵
Umm...
Uhhhhhhh.. What? Why..
Furry
1:13 you don’t see this in modern cartoons
**cough** **cough** **cough** yea.. **cough**
I feel like the animators have too much fun animating that.
So wait, he doesn't end up meeting her? He's able to sneak and instead causes lions to go free and causes the building to burn to the ground XD
Not burn, but deflate
Oswald seems to be part Mickey Mouse and part Bugs Bunny.
Oswald The Lucky Rabbit Bright Lights Leopard Skin 🐆 ✨️ ❤🎉🥰😍🪶🌄🐳🌞🫶🩶.

1:38 And they say Oswald's heart grew three sizes that day
Just kidding I love this

Lol Oswald in 4K
A Disney cartoon character that time forgot!
Ortensia isn't happy with this
1920!?
Parce qu'on dirait bien que la cat-dancer est inspirée de Josephine Baker...
Il est vrai que celle-ci s'est mariée à... 13 ans, et qu'elle dansait déjà..

Actually Ub Iwerks made up Mickey AND Oswald, not Walt :3
Walt came up with the idea for Oswald and Mickey
Ub iWerks animated the cartoons ( ub out did him self on this one, good on him!)
