"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.

I just watched the first two Oswald cartoons (directed by Walt Disney for Universal Studios) and noticed that this second one (OH, TEACHER) is a bit better than TROLLEY TROUBLE--mostly because it has a crazier and more rule-breaking attitude than the first. For example, when one character (the bully) has a giant question mark appear above his head as he thinks, he pulls it down and uses it to attack Oswald. And, when Oswald yells 'help', he uses this giant word to ride like a pony! Pretty weird stuff.The film begins with kids all going to school and catching the bus. Oswald and his girlfriend are also on the way to school when the bully steps in and steals the girl. The girl rabbit is pretty annoying, as she likes the bully because of this. By the end of the film, it appears as if Oswald has beaten up the bully and his lady friend once again adores him. What a screwed up and unwholesome girl!! Overall, this silent film has very good production values for 1927. The version I saw had added sound effects and music--something not originally available when the cartoon debuted. Oddly, however, the cartoon speed is a bit too slow and varies considerably--showing that perhaps they sped and slowed the cartoon to better synchronize with the sounds.

For 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.

For 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.
