5/10
"Reach for the sky."

Warning: Spoilers
Originally believing that Walt Disney had only made Mickey Mouse films in 1928,I was surprised to discover in a post on IMDbs Classic Film board that Disney had made some movies in the same year for Universal,which led to me getting ready to meet Oswald.

The plot:

Working on a construction site,Oswald notices his boss trying to get his sweetheart.Seeing his boss ignore her refusals,Oswald decides to put down his lunch,and fight for his sweetheart.

View on the film:

Made as Disney was secretly preparing to set up his own studio,Disney still displays that he had an eye for keen sight gags,which go from a real "sausage" dog,to wonderfully weird scene involving a sausage dipping itself in mustard,and then walking back to the sandwich to get eaten.Whilst he does not give the animation extensive details,Disney handles the chase sequences with a superb crispness,as Oswald's chase around the site with his boss flows with a thrilling energy,as Oswald reaches for the sky.
