Mickey Mouse In Vietnam (Lee Savage - 1968) from sandip mahal on Vimeo.

In 1968, an underground, anti-war short film was produced by Lee Savage and Milton Glaser called Mickey Mouse in Vietnam.
The short (unofficially) starred Mickey Mouse in a one minute animation that depicted the Disney icon travelling to Vietnam in a boat, entering the country, and being immediately shot in the head. The film was shown to associates of the creators in 1970 and onward. It is rumoured (though unconfirmed) that Disney tried to destroy every copy that they could get in their possession.

Until recently, the only known copies available for public viewing were one owned by the Sarajevo Film Festival (although the last time it was played there was in 2010), and one included on the Film-makers’ Coop’s 38 minute, 16mm collection reel titled For Life, Against the War (Selections), available for rental at $75 (though only to members of relevant organisations). The only pieces of hard evidence of the short’s existence available online were a few screenshots (all but one found in a 1998 French book entitled ‘Bon Anniversaire, Mickey!’).

However, on April 22, 2013, Mickey Mouse in Vietnam was silently uploaded to YouTube with System of a Down’s “Soldier Side (Intro)” dubbed over the top of it. The upload went largely unnoticed for almost three weeks, and as such, many people were shocked to suddenly be seeing it when the word spread.

Who is JFX316?: Finished "Yeezus" Review inside.

whoisjfx316:

So I finished what people are going to call the best, most inovative hip hop album of the year…..

I’ll preface this by saying that I don’t really dig Kanye West. His music has usually rubbed me the wrong way. From the Puffy 2.0, sample aq some you already like and talk about rich nigga shit over…

Right on.
