As I watched "Great Guns" I felt a bit surprised. After all, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is fighting a WWI style battle in the trenches and in the clouds and it sure looks 'fun'....which is strange for a war that killed many millions of people. By the 1920s, films were starting to face up to the futility and stupidity of this war....but somehow Walt Disney and the rest of the team thought it would be great material for a cartoon!
There's not a lot of plot to this one. Oswald fights with some mice and their leader and it's very violent. In one scene, an elephant is literally blown to pieces and the same thing happens later to Oswald...though his death somehow was rather temporary.
Overall, not very funny and a film that lags behind most of the other Oswald flicks by Disney.
