Before Mickey Mouse there was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Back in 1928, a silent film, Sleigh Bells, featuring the OG Walt Disney character was created and after being placed into the British Film Institute archives, was thought to be lost forever.
However, the original copy was discovered and has been restored for audiences to enjoy and appreciate the lost art of silent film. The six-minute silent film will premiere next month at the BFI in London.
The film features Oswald in an ice hockey game against a winter wonderland backdrop and has surreal touches with the rabbit at one point removing his ear to make a balloon. There’s also an elephant and a laughing donkey, who gets the puck stuck in his mouth.
