Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

With a poll being held om IMDbs Classic Film board for the best movies of 1928,I started to look around for Oswald movies to view,and I stumbled across one which appeared to be rather overlooked,which led to me getting ready to chase Oswald.The plot:Gathering up his pals,Oswald gets set to go on a hunt for a fox.As they set off on the hunt,Oswald and his friends soon discover that it is much harder to hunt down a fox than originally expected.View on the film:After having given the previous Oswald movies a good amount of background detail,Walt Disney surprisingly leaves everything bare,which leads to the title never getting the shot of energy that it desperately needs.Whilst leaving the background empty,Disney displays some bold moves with the character designs,thanks to Oswald being drawn as a cross between his original self and Mickey Mouse,as Oswald goes after the fox.

I have definitely seen better shorts, but The Fox Chase is not bad at all. It is very short at just 5 minutes, perhaps a little too much so and the animation is rather primitive, but manages to pack in some interesting and amusing(if not really hilarious) action like the dogs honing in on the fox, on having his stomach used as a trampoline, Oswald getting separated from his horse(who looks like Horace Horsecollar somewhat), the dogs chasing the fox around the tree and the final sequence with the log and what looks like a skunk. The music has energy, and the characters are engaging. All in all, not much new and primitive but still amusing and likable stuff all the same that does its job reasonably. 7/10 Bethany Cox
