It's funny how Oswald's cartoons managed to fall into the public domain in the mid 20th century and yet it's 2022 and Mickey's cartoons are still in copyright. Imagine trying to keep cartoons that are nearly 100 years old.
@@elliew.979 no. The kids were the ones in the beginning. If you look closely at the faces of the passengers, you will notice they are all different animals with similar bodies.
I love seeing Oswald the lucky rabbit cartoons bring back memories because its really special how people love him even though he was abandon and stole from Walt Disney but then someone from the company somehow brought him back
@@PathPainter Well there were also Blu-ray rereleases of Oswald cartoons sometimes after Disney got the rights to him again so there's a good chance that there's some late 2000's kids that grew up with one of them since the Oswald Blu-ray discs were released in 2007 if I remember correctly
@@sethhorst6158 Disney doesn’t own exclusive rights to Oswald, the character has been in public domain since the 1950s because Trolly Trouble was never renewed before all the 1970s copyright rework laws created via Disney’s influence. Granted, Disney does own any newer depictions of Oswald that they created. However, they cannot dispute the OG design, or anyone else’s reimagined version based off of Trolly Trouble.
Mickey's Choo Choo (1929) is almost identical to this one... Mickey does the same thing with the oil and his train. He uses it as a Deodorant. And the trains it's also having difficulties climbing a mound. I love the wheels of this wagon. What an awesome Cartoon.
No it's been in the public domain for decades since Universal/Lantz who owned the short at the time failed to renew the copyright. Only All Wet til this January was still copyrighted. Plus currently you still have all the 1928 and beyond Oswald shorts that are still under copyright including the last Disney ones and the first batch of Charles Mintz shorts next year.
this was actually the second oswald short but first to release the first short ever created was poor papa and poor papa was released the following year in 1928
I'm seeing that old cartoon characters had a characteristic vehicle... -Mickey Mouse: Steamboat -Oswald The Lucky Rabbit: Trolley -Bendy the Demon: Train/Locomotive -Felix the Cat: ¿?
The only luck Oswald had was surviving the crash. But now he has a destroyed trolley, lots of unsatisfied passengers, and will probably this will all come out of his wages.
Possibly but keep this in mind. Yes Walt directed, wrote, and was one of the animators in this short, it's unclear without proof that Walt did animated that specific scene. After all, you had other uncredited animators like Hugh Harman, Ub Iwerks, Friz Freleng, Carmen Maxwell, Les Clark, Norm Blackburn, Rolin Hamilton, and Ben Clopton. Point is while it's possible Walt animated that scene it's also possible that he didn't. He didn't work on this short exclusively after all.
Se não fosse pelo jogo de wii "Disney Epic Mickey" de 2010 e o presidente da disney na época que a empresa recuperou o personagem, o oswald não seria tão conhecido, lembrado e amado hoje em dia, o personagem até os início dos anos 2000 tava esquecido e guardado numa gaveta lá na universal, ele até o surgimento do pica pau tinha sido redesenhado estilo universal, pra distanciar do design do walt disney, depois do pica pau o oswald virou um coadjuvante nas histórias do passarinho, sério e história do oswald é um pouco triste na era universal, hoje ele voltou a ter seu reconhecimento e muitos o amam hoje.
The greatest feeling in the world is watching ALL things Disney while relaxing at your hotel room at Disney World while on summer vacation. For an extra feeling, rub sun screen lotion on your arms for that extra summer vacation smell.
I prefer this to todays "perfect" hi-tech computer animation! Like Disney's "Toy Story" or something, with 3 dimensional animation and everything is perfect, ect. These primitive cartoons are somehow more accessable.
People believe Steam Boat Willy was the first Disney animation ever, when it was just the first successful Disney animation :) Oswald was the first character to star in any Disney show! (People also think Oswald or Mickey were the first animations in general; that's very incorrect, too. Though they made animation popular, animation goes as far back as the 1800s, I believe..)
No, since 1955. Universal who owned the short at the time didn't renew it. Though I think All Wet was the only 1927 Oswald short that did get it's copyright renewed but as of today that short entered public domain. Maybe Poor Papa as well since it was produced in 1927 as well.
Yes it's in the public domain like every 1927 Oswald short. You can't just use the Oswald trademark like the font of his name or his full name since that's still considered trademark by Disney. Oswald Rabbit for example OK. Or Oswald the Rabbit or you could change the font. You just need to be careful on how you choose on how to name him for trademark reasons.
Let's just say that Walt and his staff had legendary animators at the studio at the time. Ub Iwerks, Hugh Harman Friz Freleng, Rudolph Ising, Les Clark, among others though Ising didn't animate this short.
It was something that they'd play in theaters. Nitrate film was a pretty effective way of displaying films at that time compared to what came before it. Though they take a lot of effort to preserve and one nitrate film can become dangerous if it starts to decay. I'm glad they has ways to preserve these Oswald cartoons and even restore some of them, though sadly there are still lost Oswald cartoons and ones that remains partially found likely due to damaged parts of the film strips that couldn't be saved.
