Wonderful character development!
Very Cool!!!
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
View MoreDespite Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and his cartoons being popular and well received at the time, they have been vastly overshadowed over time by succeeding Disney characters (like Mickey, Donald and Goofy) and those from Looney Tunes. It is a shame as, while not cartoon masterpieces, they are fascinating for anybody wanting to see what very old animation looked like and what Disney animation was like before Mickey arrived on the scene.After the still pretty good 'Trolley Troubles', the third Oswald cartoon (his debuting cartoon 'Poor Papa' being very much rare) is an improvement, it's crazier, wittier, more inspired and takes more risks. Sure the story is still very limited structurally and Oswald's girlfriend is pretty annoying.Animation is not bad at all for a cartoon so old and techniques still in early days, it's crisp and fluid enough with some nice detail, sure there are some rough spots understandably especially with Disney animation becoming much more refined later. The added soundtrack and sound effects add a lot rather than distract, actually improving the cartoon's impact and making things easier to understand.Most of the gags work very well in 'Oh Teacher', the timing is more consistent and the humour is wonderfully crazy and witty. Oswald is an endearing protagonist and the Pete-like nemesis is every bit as fun, their conflict is the driving force of the cartoon and one of its high points.Overall, good fun. 8/10 Bethany Cox
View More"Oh Teacher" is a Walt Disney cartoon from 1927, still in black-and-white and it has its 90th anniversary next year. The star here is still Oswald the Rabbit and we follow him here how he gets in trouble with teachers and fellow students. I must say this was not really an interesting watch, but it's somewhat worth checking out because of how much Disney must have loved his cartoon rabbit as he also directed this short film. The glorious days of cartoon animation were still many years away, but you have to start somewhere and it was not a bad watch by any means. sadly, it was not a good watch either and overall I give this one a thumbs down. Not recommended or only for the biggest cartoon/Oswald fans.
View MoreFor anyone interested in the history of animated cartoons, this is a fascinating glimpse of early Disney work. It is not a classic, but nevertheless full of clever and amusing moments. Given the fact that there was no sound track (though the version I saw had music and minimal sounds) and very few words written on screen, the story-telling is amazingly clear. The sight gags are delightful, some of them clearly inspired by (or stolen from) Chaplin and other silent-movie comic geniuses. But what Disney understood right from the beginning is how to use the medium of drawn animation to go far beyond what real-life comedians could do on screen. One example: when one character yells "HELP", the letters of the word kick Oswald to get his attention and point toward the damsel in distress to direct him. Even Chaplin couldn't have come up with a sight gag of that kind.
View MoreFor its time this was an excellent cartoon. It was the second of the Oswald series, and features Black Pete, who later became Peg Leg Pete in Mickey Mouse cartoons.The version I have seen had music and limited vocal sound added in 1932. I found it more enjoyable to view with the sound turned off.Entirely black and white with gray in shadowing and, originally, no sound, this cartoon shows the early genius of Walt Disney Studios.Although the plot is limited, the cartoon is able to rely on the sight gags that made the early Mickey Mouse cartoons famous.For those not familiar with early Disney Cartoons, a viewing of Oswald will give a good idea of the early history of Mickey.
