The Dark Side of Disney: Suicide Mouse

A Slew of Micky Animations from the 1930’s that were set to be Released on DVD a few Years Ago, BUT One Cartoon Wasn’t Shown to even the Most Die Hard Disney Fan. The Withheld Animation is just a Continuum of Micky Walking down the Street and continues for 2 or 3 Minutes before Cutting too Black. The Micky featured in the Cartoon was Not the Jolly, Happy-Go-Lucky Mickey We’ve all come to Love, He doesn’t Dance, Laugh, or Even Smile. Mickey simply Walks Down the Street with His Head Tilted from Side to Side keeping His Eyes on the Ground. The Cartoon’s Soundtrack isn’t an Actual Song as Per Usual, but it’s a Constant Banging on the Keys of a Piano for approximately a Minute and a Half before transitioning into White Noise for the Rest of the Film.

Up until 1 Year or So Ago, People believed that the Video Ended when the Screen Went Black, but as it Turned Out that wasn’t the Case. When Leonard Maltin was Reviewing the Video to put in the Compilation Series He decided it was Too Morbid for The Release on DVD, But He wanted a Digital Copy as it was a Creation of Walt Disney. When Maltin had the Digitized Version on His Computer He Noticed Something Odd and Interesting. The Cartoon’s Actual Running Time was Minutes and 4 Seconds Long making it Approximately 6 Minutes and 4 Seconds Longer than Anyone Even Knew.

               

Upon Further Examination Maltin Discovered that the Screen went Black and Stayed Black until the 6 Minute Mark when it Returned to Micky Walking Down the Street, But the Soundtrack was Vastly Different this Time. The Bizarre New Version of the Soundtrack was what seems to be a Ragged Scream that Became Stronger and more Indistinguishable over the Course of the Next Minute. The Picture begins to Thin as the Road Starts to go in Directions that Seem Impossible Based on the Physics of Micky’s Walking. At the 7 Minute Mark there is a Blood Curdling Scream that Lasts an Entire Minute in Duration as The Film Becomes Darker.

The Cartoon then exhibits a Sickening Color Palit (that seems Impossible for the Time Period) appears as Micky Starts to Twist and Contort with His Eyes Ending Up on His Chin, and His Smile Pointing to the Left Side of HIs Face. The Buildings begin to become Irregular in Appearance, Turn to Rubble, and Float in Mid Air while the Road Twists and Turns even More. At the 8 Minute Mark the Blood Curdling Scream Suddenly Stops and the Cartoon Cuts to the Face of Mickey Mouse that traditionally appears at the Credits of Every Micky cartoon. There was Another Soundtrack Switch which Sounds a lot like a Broken Music Box Playing for 30 Seconds. Unperturbed Maltin exited the Studio and sent an Underling Employee in to Finish Watching the Cartoon as Well as Note Taking chronicling the Events of the Rest of the Cartoon.

               

Due to a Mysterious Circumstances No One Knows What the Last 30 Seconds of the Cartoon actually Contain. You see The Employee Maltin Assigned to Finish the Viewing Staggered Out of the Studio (once the Cartoon was Over) Muttering “Real Suffering is Not Known.” precisely 7 Times before Grabbing a Security Guard’s Gun and Killing Himself Right then and There. The Deceased Employee left a bunch of Scribbled Notes with a Russian Phrase that Roughly Translates into “The Sights of Hell Bring its Viewer Back In.

Enjoy.
