Mickey Mouse in Vietnam

Back in 1968, The Walt Disney Company were trying to get back on their feet following the loss of the companies founder, Walt Disney himself. Around this time director Whitney Lee Savage and producer Milton Glaser submitted a new Mickey Mouse cartoon titled "Mickey Mouse in Vietnam" produced under the companies "Max Cats" and "Whittesey Studios". The animated short was then taken to Disney's animation headquarters to be screened.

Despite being produced in the late 1960's, "Mickey Mouse in Vietnam" looked more like a cartoon produced in the early 1920's due to the picture quality and being produced in black & white. Unlike Silent-era Cartoons, the short contained no audio at all and was completley silent. It was also created as a protest against The Vietnam War, which was a war similar to World War II that occured around Vietnam.

The short started with Disney's iconic character, "Mickey Mouse" walking across a blank area. He then came across a sign that read "JOIN THE ARMY AND SEE THE WORLD". Mickey then grabbed a rifle and a combat helmet and deported for Vietnam. However by the time He arrived at Vietnam War Zone, He froze and collpased to the ground. The camera then zooms into Mickey's face, revealing he had been shot dead in the forehead. Mickey's open smile then closed and turned into a frown before the short cut to black.

Disney rejected the short due to Mickey's death and buried the only copy in an unknown area to prevent it from being seen to the public. The short remained lost for many years until a Youtuber, who had somehow found the short, uploaded it to Youtube in 2013. The original video was deleted but has been reploaded by other Youtubers.
