''Trolley Troubles'' is a 1927 animated short subject film, produced and directed by Walt Disney. The cartoon is noted for being the first appearance of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a character that Disney and Ub Iwerks created for Universal Pictures and Charles B. Mintz. Oswald would later serve as the basis for Mickey Mouse. ==History== In the early summer of 1927, Disney finished the first Oswald cartoon, entitled ''Poor Papa''. However, Universal was not very satisfied. They had expected a more Charlie Chaplin-like character and thought Oswald was too elderly and too fat. Disney agreed to make some changes and the cartoon was not released in theatres at the time. Instead, Oswald's second-produced cartoon was submitted for release: ''Trolley Troubles''. Universal was pleased and the short was released by Universal on September 5, 1927. The press loved the new cartoon series Walt made and Oswald became a true hero. From that moment on, a new cartoon was released every two weeks. As for ''Poor Papa'', it was released eventually in theatres, although Universal held it back until 1928. In total, nine Oswald cartoons were released in 1927. The copyright for ''Trolley Troubles'' expired in 1955.〔ref. United States Copyright #L24088〕 The cartoon was reissued November 23, 1931 after Walter Lantz Productions took over the Oswald series. This re-release was completed with music and sound effects. In 2007, ''Trolley Troubles'' was released on Disney DVD in the Walt Disney Treasures volume ''The Adventures of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trolley Troubles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
