The County Fair

About This Movie

The County Fair from 1934 is a wild ride that captures the chaotic energy of a fair like few others. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, that cheeky character, finds himself in a whirlwind chase after a brat who’s just looking to stir up trouble. The animation, courtesy of Bill Nolan, has this slapdash quality that really emphasizes the frantic pace and, honestly, the violence adds to the humor if you dig that sort of thing. The score by James Dietrich pairs well with the on-screen antics, giving it a nice backdrop that enhances the overall experience. Just remember, this isn’t to be confused with KOUNTY FAIR; they’re distinct pieces, and this one stands out for its manic energy and unrefined charm.

The County Fair is an interesting piece in the realm of vintage animation, especially for Oswald collectors. It’s not as widely available as some of his other works, making it a bit of a treasure hunt to find. The film's rough edges and energetic pacing give it a distinctive character that's often overshadowed by more polished animations from the same era. Collector interest fluctuates, but those looking for Oswald’s lesser-known escapades should definitely keep an eye out.
