Featured review
Disney in the beginning - indecent exposure, cruelty to animals, workplace harassment, and maybe even...
... the end of Buster Keaton's career? This cartoon was released at the end of 1928, eight months after the release of Buster Keaton's final independent film - Steamboat Bill, Jr. Why should somebody shell out money for Keaton to take a chance with life and limb with his wonderful acrobatics when Walt could draw a mouse that could do all of those antics, not show up late to the set, not require lunch breaks, and come back for the next film/cartoon fresh as a daisy and uninjured?
I don't know if the similarity between the title of this cartoon and Buster's last independent creation is anything but coincidence, but I wonder. Always worth a look to see the wonderfully creative Walt at work in the beginning. He would shake his head at what his company is outputting as product today. But I digress.
Highly recommended for the film history angle.
