The Mad Doctor, 1933
To me, we are officially into “Halloween season” so I figured we’d get warmed up with a spooky little animated treat that would have been appropriate for Vintage Lab Week.
In 1933, Disney released this short animation: Mickey Mouse- The Mad Doctor
There are so many excellent still frames to grab. I have a feeling I’m going to go back and pause every few seconds for a screen capture.

Another great Disney short. I adore the early cartoons.

This one is great, but I think The Skeleton Dance is my all time favorite!

It warms my heart to see how far a mouse will go in order to ensure the welfare of his beloved pet dog.

Exactly. We don’t get to see this play out in the real world often enough.

I’m not a fan of the corporate Micky, but these early cartoons are real gems! The cloaked figure that absconds with Pluto reminds me of “The Terror” from a lost silent film.

I like some of the early “spooky” short animations, but also draw the line at modern corporate Mickey.

Haha! Awwwww! And now we know that the dog-headed chicken came first.
