This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Despite Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and his cartoons being popular and well received at the time, they have been vastly overshadowed over time by succeeding Disney characters (like Mickey, Donald and Goofy) and those from Looney Tunes. It is a shame as, while not cartoon masterpieces, they are fascinating for anybody wanting to see what very old animation looked like and what Disney animation was like before Mickey arrived on the scene.After the previous four cartoons ranging from decent ('Trolley Troubles') to very good (the other three but 'The Mechanical Cow' and 'Great Guns!' in particular), even if none of them are cartoon masterpieces, while still watchable 'All Wet' was a disappointment and easily the weakest at that point.The animation is good on the other hand, for a cartoon so old and techniques still in early days, it's crisp and fluid enough with some nice detail (sure there are some rough spots understandably especially with Disney animation becoming much more refined later). The added soundtrack and sound effects (the 1927-1928 Oswald cartoons being silent) add a lot rather than distract, actually improving the cartoon's impact and making things easier to understand.Oswald is very endearing still, and the "HELP!" gag is a funny moment in a cartoon with the laughs too far and between. The sound isn't static and the cartoon is cute enough without being saccharine.However, the story is slight, unimaginative and very predictable, with the pacing also being rather too hectic.'All Wet' is also rather low on laughs and what there is is not particularly funny other than the one aforementioned, and the lady rabbit a bit bland.In summary, watchable if disappointing. Worth checking out but Oswald has done better. 6/10 Bethany Cox

"All Wet" is another 6.5-minute cartoon about Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, the character that Walt Disney mostly worked with before the introduction of Mickey Mouse. Of course, Oswald is not a mouse, but you could see some similarities. Actually, if you remember him with other ears, there is really not much of a difference anymore. And as Mickey has to do so frequently, Oswald is also about to save his sweetheart in this one. This black-and-white cartoon from almost 90 years ago has Oswald on the beach as a life guard and there is certainly some suggestive irony to the film's title given how Oswald has graphically the hots here and how his girl even undresses almost in front of the camera while in her boat. Apart from that, there is a funny scene with the word "HELP" punching the dense little rabbit and it was hilarious to see him scared too initially. Unfortunately, that is really all there is and, even for 7 minutes, this could have been a more entertaining and hilarious watch for sure. Not recommended.

In the early 1920s, Walt Disney tried opening his own cartoon studio and it failed. So, by the late 20s (just before he hit it big with Mickey and his new studio) Walt was working for Universal Studio making Oswald cartoons. Although he created the character, the studio decided that the way to make the cartoon series viable was to cut costs. And, when Walt refused to take a 20% pay cut, the studio hired other folks to make the cartoons--and Disney (in a GREAT move) opened his own studio bearing his name--and became world famous! In this installment of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, our hero is on the beach selling very strange hot dogs! Later, he sees a cute lady rabbit but she isn't interested--that is, not until he pretends to be a life guard. Then, to get his attention, she rows out into dangerous water and it's up to plucky Oswald to save her...and give her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Overall, a decent little cartoon but far from Disney's best.
