Neck ‘n’ Neck | DISNEY THIS DAY | January 23, 1928

January 23, 2024

On this day in 1928, the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit animated short ‘Neck ‘n’ Neck’ was released. In the cartoon, Oswald and Ortensia go for a ride in his jalopy, but soon end up in a race with the police! It was long thought that the film for ‘Neck ‘n’ Neck’ had been lost. Actually, Japanese anime historian Yasushi Watanabe had purchased a copy of the short in the 1940s not knowing its significance! It now resides in the Kobe Planet Film Archive in Japan.
