Comments

From Ryan : This was no doubt inspired by the recent Lindbergh flight (which would also inspire Mickey's first cartoon "Plane Crazy"). One fun gag I enjoy in this cartoon is where after Oswald's plane had been wrecked by Pete, he grabs a daschund. He then gets two mice to blow up balloons and tie them on to the daschund's tail to create an airplane tail. He then uses a thought bubble as another balloon.

I have seen "The Ocean Hop" and would like to
