SuicideMouse.avi (My Remake)

“So do any of you remember those Mickey Mouse cartoons from the 1930s?” The animated footage begins with Mickey walking, with a morose expression, however with no soundtrack. But soon things begin to change. Sound starts to play in the background, it begins with a rhythmic tapping, then what the source describes as, "A murmur. It wasn’t a language, but more like a gurgled cry." As the volume and intensity of the murmur increases gradually, the background begins to shift in surreal and irrational ways, bending and twisting into a nightmare landscape and then Mickey’s expression begins to morph into an obscene sneer. By the seventh minute, the 'gurgled cry' becomes an anguished scream. Mickey’s face continues to warp into a rictus of horror, his eyes and mouth enlarging, while buildings around him start to look distorted. By the eighth minute of the footage, Mickey is running frantically, his face twisted into a horrific visage, while the screaming reaches a painful pitch. The reel then cuts to the large, smiling Mickey logo typically shown at the beginning and end of Disney’s vintage one-reel cartoons. Disney™, please forgive me for not using the Steamboat Willie design of Mickey in this video. This project was made a few weeks before the announcement of Mickey in the public domain. I promise in my future projects, I'll use the Steamboat Willie Mickey.
