A Bit More Plot
Hitchcoc29 November 2018
Ozzie and Pet are hoboes. They are hungry but their efforts to get food are in vain. A cop, played by a dog, gets in their way over and over. He shoots at them and hits them and it makes no difference. The key moment involves a large chicken or turkey in a window that Oswald tries to steal. There is some decent animation here and the characters are more interesting.

For Once The Rabbit Is White
terrigunmor22 February 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Sources indicate that this film was meant to use sound. For some reason, the soundtrack didn't survive. I've been seeing the film for months online which uses substitute music. Some of which are jazz tunes from trumpeter Red Nichols.

In the story we have Oswald and a bear who are both penniless, thus they're willing to do anything to fill their stomachs. Perhaps the most interesting scene is when the bunny tries to take a roast turkey from a window sill, only to get chased by a dog. The dog got its jaws on Oswald and removes the pelt off of him. And voilà, we have a white rabbit. For a long time, I thought the bunny is only white in 1935 but this film probably shows the first time he turned into that colour.

This is perhaps one of Oswald's most entertaining shorts.
