Review of Plane Crazy

Plane Crazy (1928)
8/10
If there's any sure thing to warm the cockles of your heart . . .

Warning: Spoilers
. . . more than likely it's the sight of a terrified female chasing Mickey Mouse around a farmyard behind the whirring propellers of a rickety flying machine. Viewers may sense that this irritating rodent will NOT be nipped in the bud prior to PLANE CRAZY's resolution, but still one can only hope. Is there some director's cut with an alternate ending, featuring Mickey getting the salad shooter experience, like Steve B. In FARGO, sitting around in some long-dead collector's film vault, waiting to be rediscovered? Could be. Some of the "bonus" material on the Oswald and B & W Mickey DVD sets implies that Mr. Dizzy was depressed if not suicidal when he was fruitlessly shopping around the silent original version of PLANE CRAZY. If going out with a bang was not possible, perhaps death by 1,000 cuts would be better than nothing.
