2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

TheLittleSongbird Despite 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.'Ozzie of the Mounted' is not one of the best Oswald cartoons, 'Bright Lights' and 'Great Guns' being the best of the previous Oswald cartoons, while also not one of the weakest (the still decent enough 'All Wet'). Admittedly the story is slight and familiar and some of the pacing is a bit hectic.The animation is very good on the other hand, it's crisp and fluid enough with some nice detail. The music is lush and energetic, adding a lot rather than distracting and enhances the cartoon's quality even.While the gags are never hilarious or imaginative, they are still very amusing and well-timed and executed. Oswald is an endearing protagonist and Pete a lot of fun.In summary, very nice cartoon. 7/10 Bethany Cox

morrison-dylan-fan With a poll taking place on IMDbs Classic Film board for the best films of 1928,I started looking round for Oswald movies,and I stumbled upon one with an outline which sounded rather different than the other titles in the series,which led to me getting ready to see Oswald become a Mountie. The plot:Returning to the police station after going on patrol,Oswald spots a wanted poster for Peg Leg Pete.Scared about meeting Pete,Oswald is told by the head Mountie that he must be brave and track him down.Tracking down Pete,Oswald discovers that Pete is not going to go down without a chase.View on the film:Giving the movie a winter atmosphere by covering the background in bare trees and blocks of snow,director Walt Disney cleverly makes each drawing feel like an extended set-piece,with Oswald & Pete's long final chase almost falling off the page.Sending Oswald from the USA to Canada,Disney takes full advantage of the new location with wonderful sight gags which go from Oswald riding a robotic horse,to Pete's sleigh turning into a moose.

boblipton Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, goes in pursuit of Peg-Leg Pete.Although still not a leading animation producer at this stage, Disney's technical form definitely showed improvements and by 1928, he was turning out some nice cartoons starring Oswald. Although the gags are fairly standard for animation in this period, Disney was careful in their layout and construction and there is a lovely bit of very full animation in the opening sequence.Oswald is a key character in the history of animation because he was Disney's sole starring cartoon character at this point and, when he lost control of him and almost his entire staff to the rather underhanded dealings of Charles Mintz, would go on to basically revise him for Mickey Mouse -- take a look and you will see that Mickey, at the start was drawn almost identically with Oswald, except with 'globe' ears instead of long floppy rabbit ears like Oswald.The copy shown in the Disney OSWALD DVD issued in 2007 is a fine print and further enhanced by a fine musical score provided by the wonderful Robert Israel and his orchestra. While not a great cartoon, it should not be missed by fans of animation.
