You don’t see much of that any more, but you did get a little glimpse of it in Epic Mickey. Disney cartoons were once brash, inventive, and even mean. Oswald used to be mischievous and anarchic, and so did Mickey Mouse. To cook them, Pete holds Oswald against the train track until his pants catch fire. They want something to eat, so they pull the head off a chicken and shake out a few eggs. Oswald and Peg-leg Pete are hitching a ride on a train. Hungry Hobos – one of now just 14 of the original 26 Oswald cartoons to have survived – is refreshingly cruel, in fact. They don’t feel as subversive.īack in the days of Oswald, though, they were. Disney shorts tend not to be funny and violent the way that Warner Bros. When you think of Disney cartoons – I’m talking about the shorts, here, rather than the full-blown features – you may be picturing something that’s lavish and beautiful, but rather tame, and rather bloodless. Spector screened it for us before launching into his game presentation – I wish all press events worked like this – and it was astonishing stuff to watch. It was an Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoon – he was the precursor to Mickey Mouse – made by Walt Disney’s animation company in 1928, and long thought lost forever.Ī copy of the film travelled with Junction Point boss Warren Spector when he visited London last week to show of Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, the unexpected sequel to the odd, and rather troubled, Wii exclusive from 2010.
