All Wet (1927)

★½ — All Wet (1927)

All Wet is one of the early Oswald the Lucky Rabbit shorts produced by Walt Disney and animated largely by Ub Iwerks for Universal Pictures, released in 1927 during the silent era's final years. Oswald was Disney's first real commercial character, created after Universal commissioned a series of cartoon shorts, and the rabbit preceded Mickey Mouse by roughly a year (Disney lost the rights to Oswald in a contract dispute with Universal in 1928, which directly prompted the creation of Mickey). Iwerks, who would later be recognised as the more technically gifted animator of the two partners, handled the bulk of the actual drawing across the Oswald series. At seven minutes, it sits comfortably within the format of the era's theatrical short programmes.

1927. 98 years old. And it shows. This is the character before Mickey Mouse. That's about the only reason you'd watch.

Viy (1967) is a strange and almost solitary object in Soviet cinema: a horror film, an actual horror film with monsters and demons and supernatural set-pieces, in a national cinema that mostly didn’t make horror at all. Officially endorsed by Mosfilm and based on a Nikolai Gogol folktale, it

Alice in Wonderland (1951)

Disney’s Alice in Wonderland (1951) is the studio’s middle-period work par excellence: technically polished, commercially tested, narratively cautious, and just slightly off. Made between two of Disney’s commercial successes (Cinderella in 1950, which had rescued the studio from one of its periodic financial near-misses, and Peter Pan
