Not Too Bad
Hitchcoc29 November 2018
The premise is simple. Oswald's girlfriend needs to be rescued. She is hanging by her underwear from a branch in the Alps. Ozzie gets his trusty dog (a real mess) and heads into the mountains. The dog becomes the hero of this episode as he is able to contort and morph his body into all kinds of rescue devices. Of course, things will probably work out. As a side question: What is it with the underwear of Oswald's girlfriends? They are constantly losing their. Also, what is it with all these bears and lions showing up? Still, this is pretty good fun.

A Missing Film Comes Out of the Cabinet
ramon-rodriguez316 October 2011
Alpine Antics is one of the few Winkler Oswalds that are known to be existing. It was thought to be lost but it somehow came out. Sources indicate that this cartoon is a sound film. For some reason, the soundtrack, which was probably recorded onto an LP record just like those of early talkies, ended up in oblivion. I saw this film in a video-sharing site. Although the musical track used isn't the original soundtrack, it was suitable.

The story features Oswald and his dog who went up the mountains to rescue a cat from certain danger, a common theme in a number of children's stories. Humor and pleasantness are adequate.
