This early sound Oswald the Lucky Rabbbit is a mild send-up of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, which was enjoying a reissue at the time this came out -- a fine opportunity to do the cartoon.
At this point, Walter Lantz' unit was probably the best cartoon factory in the business and you can tell by the list of talent that later appeared elsewhere: Clyde Geronomi and Pinto Colvig both worked on the script and Colvig is credited with some voice work.
The net effect is a decent little cartoon, with the gags fairly mechanically paced, but well executed. If you have any fondness for any of the associations you should find it amusing.
