Review of Oh Teacher

Oh Teacher (1927)
Oswald vs. Pete
5 June 2000
Before I comment on this film, I should probably tell some of you who are unaware of Oswald the Rabbit. He was created by Walt Disney in 1927 before Mickey Mouse. In fact, he may have been the inspiration for Mickey because he has similar physical characteristics. If you take Mickey Mouse, stretch out his ears, and give him a fluffy tail then you'll have Oswald the Rabbit. A year later, however, another animator took him away from Disney and that's when Disney came up with the idea for Mickey.

Anyway, in this short, Oswald is taking his girlfriend to school in his scooter. He runs into Pete who has just missed the schoolbus. They crash into a lake and Pete attempts to save Oswald's girlfriend. At recess, Pete and Oswald get into a fight and Oswald's package that Pete threw up on the roof falls on Pete and knocks him out.

Although Disney had Oswald taken away from him, he still had Pete. Pete is the oldest of the modern Disney characters who started off in the "Alice Comedies."
