Storyline
Featured review
Uggh...see how low Oswald has fallen in this dreadful Lantz offering.
Walt Disney and his employee, Ub Iwerks, made a delightful character when they were working for Universal Studios. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was very mischievous and the cartoons very anarchic. However, the studio got greedy and even though the cartoons were a bit hit, they offered Disney a HUGE price DECREASE for each cartoon. Naturally this made him quit...something Universal wanted as they owned the rights to Oswald and were planning on making their own Oswald cartoons instead of farming them out to Disney...a HUGE mistake. The subsequent Oswald films were directed by Walter Lantz and as the years passed, the quality of the films got worse and worse until eventually the character was put to sleep!
This is one of the later Oswald shorts and as such it's an abomination to even call this character Oswald. Instead of being a bit of a lovable jerk, the newer cartoons emphasized cutesy characters and a redesigned Oswald. On one hand, the cartoons DID look better...but they also were about as much fun as brain surgery! This one certainly is NOT fun and features too much of what killed the franchise...cute music and cute characters (yech!). It also features a moral lesson...something you DON'T want from Oswald...you just want fun and chaos! A dreadful retelling of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" featuring two hellishly awful lambs...how I just wish that wolf had eaten them...as well as Oswald!!
