The last thing I'd expect to hear in this movie would be The Gonk. At first I thought its autenticity was very dubious, until I found out that The Gonk was composed in 1965 by Herbert Chappell. Does Adam Savage know that the short is now available in its full glory?
I recall that piece also appearing in a Sports blooper film I found produced sometime in the 70's. I wouldn't doubt it got mileage for comedic uses except for Dawn of the Dead (and perhaps this film given it's ironic use).
Yeah it’s from the DeWolf soundtrack library. George Romero used a lot of cues from them for the Dawn of the Dead soundtrack. He was fond of these types of cues.
@@bluecircle8960 To be more specific, it was made by Milton Glaser, the man who invented the "I ❤ NYC" logo, in collaboration with Whitney Lee Savage, who was the father of Myth Busters host Adam Savage. They created the film for a screening at a festival called the Angry Arts Festival, (or Angry Arts week) to protest the Vietnam War, which had been going on for years now. Also to correct you, it was made in the late 60s, the exact year is 1968. Sources come from Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Mouse_in_Vietnam.
I’m really glad that this was found, because the message really is powerful, and still holds up to this day. War isn’t a fun adventure, despite what several advertisements for the U.S. Military make it out to be. People lose their lives with no idea of what they’re getting into.
yeah, but the announcement was not to blame for making the military lose their lives, the united states is doing everything to be a hero, so that the communists don't spread it around the world.
Though his time in Vietnam was very brief, Michael Theodore “Mickey” Mouse would later posthumously be awarded the Medal of Honor for being Mickey Mouse. He was survived by his wife, Minerva Theresa “Minnie” Mouse and his unborn son. Minnie, upon hearing the news of Mickey’s tragic death, immediately moved in with his neighbor, Gerald G. “Goofy” Goof. The two married a few short months later, and by some miracle, Minnie’s son looked almost exactly like Mr. Goof when he was finally born. They named him “Max”.
Goofy: "It's our moral obligation." Mickey: "Don't make me choose between my country and you. You're like a brother to me!" Max: "Go ahead, finish what you started."

1968 too, when America grew dissatisfied with the war. A nice way to express that with this, considering it's everyone's favourite character in the scene.
Hey, i realized. This short uses an EXTREMELY similar artstyle to the original Steamboat Willie short. With said short now being in public domain, you can technically make money off of this.
I think technically not because of the eyes , those eyes resemble future shorts later on in mickeys lifetime but , over the next few years we'll get access to more of mickeys lore😊
@@FlanCakes No offense, but the Mickey portrayed in the short it's the exact same one as the showed in Steamboat Willie. The only difference is that this one has gloves and the other not
Not only did this make me sad seeing a childhood character in such a disturbing short film but this is messed up considering how real this was over in Vietnam and how many people were lost to war. Yeah I get that we need a military to keep our nations safe, but in the end, I wonder and think about how that man or woman who died or was injured badly in combat...that was someone’s child, someone’s sibling, someone’s spouse, someone’s parent...and it haunts me to this day to think of how many people had to die in order for our safety and for change in our societies
hey, have you read the Pentagon papers? Vietnam, like Afghanistan, was an unwinnable war and our government knew from the earliest times that it was so. unwinnable and based on fallacies.
@@ironyelegy Which also caused the unnecessary and unfortunate loss of life of many soldiers. God bless our military and first responders, they do so much more and beyond. I could never have the stamina or strength to go through all of that
I like to imagine Mickey is like Doomsday and that he comes back to life after death and the thing that killed him cant anymore. He needed this boost in power to fight Yoda.
i dont know why but these old ass VHS videos always creep me out. i think its the fact that people have made VHS or 35ml tape creepy pasta things always creepy
I came here after watching the Mickey Mouse documentary on D+. They showed clips of this showing Mickey _going_ to Vietnam, but cut away as soon as he walks into the jungle. I figured it would be something like Mickey shooting some Vietcong and getting PTSD, but this was somehow more brutal. No wonder Disney didn't want the ending shown 😅
Out of all the things I wanted to listen to while Mickey Mouse gets shot, which is very little seeing this rare, Herbert Chappell’s The Gonk was definitely near the bottom of my list.
@EllaRose , sorry for being several months late, but the comic is called Mr slicker and the egg robbers. While the comic was not written or drawn by Walt, the weeks worth of strips where mickey tries to kill himself was suggested by him!
