Short: Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in Wax Works


A Universal cartoon from 1934, which was directed by Walter Lantz, who also voiced Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, this sees a little boy (Bernice Hansen) abandoned in a basket on the doorstep of Oswald’s wax museum. At first he wants to put the lad back out in the storm but to no avail and so he takes him in.

In the night the boy needs the toilet and then discovers that the waxworks have come to life. Which is great when it is Napoleon, Groucho and Romeo and Juliette but not so great when he is pulled into the Horror Chamber by the Hunchback of Notre Dame and is spooked by various characters including Frankenstein’s Monster and Dracula. My thanks to Kim Newman who featured this on his Daily Dracula feature. The imdb page is here.
