Talk:Mickey's Best Friend/@comment-36627132-20180912103142



"It isn't even available to anyone who wants to complete their collection of classic Mickey cartoons." sounds like Suicidemouse.avi's "Well, I hear there is one [cartoon] that was unreleased to even the most avid classic Disney fans."

"Walt at the time thought kids were getting dumbed down by other shorts and that they were mature enough to handle what he wanted to show them." Back then there was no intended age demographic for cartoons which played before movies like movie trailers do today, regardless of what the movie was even if it was a horror movie, or a movie that younger audiences would find boring. It is unlikely Walt Disney would have cared if children were being dumbed down at this time.

The plot is clearly inspired by the 1933 Mickey cartoon The Mad Doctor (which is one of the few Mickey cartoons in the public domain) which is a short about Mickey treking through a haunted house to save Pluto from the titular Mad Dcotor who intends to use him for an experiment in which he will cut off the dog's head and put it on the body of a chicken and see if he will lay an egg that will hatch out a hybrid dog-chicken. This cartoon was banned from some theaters and completely banned in the United Kingdom and Germany.

All in all this was on ok pasta, just a few bugs here and there.
