Storyline
Featured review
hilarious, absurd little '30's cartoon
In 1929 the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit series (originally created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks in 1927) was taken over by Walter Lantz and Universal Studios. I know that Disney purists would never deign to watch any of these post-Disney Oswald productions, but some of these cartoons are actually pretty cute. "The Plumber" is actually a very well animated story about Oswald's many failed attempts to control a water leak in his house as well as his extremely disobedient son (which actually makes one question why he is the "lucky" rabbit). This is a talking picture, but like many early talkie cartoons, it has very little dialogue and relies mostly on sight-gags; There is however a cute little song at the beginning, "Ain't Gonna Rain No More." I enjoyed the amount of absurd actions and anthropomorphized objects in the Oswald household, which kept the story going in spire of its lack of plot. It's a little disconcerting to see such Disney-esquire animation and gags in a non-Disney film, but the cartoon really is very well made and was an absolute pleasure to watch.
