Oswald The Rabbit (looking suspiciously similar to Mickey Mouse) is the local barber in this rare early toon. The first cut is rather routine, the hair tonic skit didn't make me laugh yet...the action picks up and we see a laugh-out-loud 20 seconds when Oswald goes to work on the hippo.
Then...Oswald sees a guy lashing out in the other corner and dresses up as a woman and makes a move on the man! The movie ends on a car ride with the duo.
Two guys kissing, weather animated animals or not was pretty edgy for 1928, even though animation has never exactly been shying out on controversial project. Technically the film is good, especially the hippo scene introduces lots of funny tricks. A shame there wasn't any kind music in the version i had, an animation this fast-paced needs some wild wacky composing.
