Plot
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit enters into an airplane race across the Atlantic Ocean. While there he encounters a mean rival, Peg Leg Pete, who taunts him and causes his plane to get glued to the ground with chewing gum. As Peg Leg Pete takes a lead, Oswald manages to construct a plane of balloons and a long dachshund dog. While at first managing to put up a good effort, Oswald is eventually shot down by Peg Leg Pete over Paris. After parachuting into Paris, Oswald is welcomed by the local patrons as he ended up winning the race.
Legacy
This short features Peg Leg Pete, an updated version of the character Bootleg Pete from Alice Solves the Puzzle. Peg Leg Pete would later become a cat as the modern-day Disney character, Pete.
The plot of this short would later be re-purposed in the 1929 Mickey Mouse cartoon, Plane Crazy. Both shorts were directed by Walt Disney and featured characters flying across the Atlantic Ocean.
Home media
The short was released on December 11, 2007, on Walt Disney Treasures: The Adventures of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.[4]
