NPR is reporting that a lost Oswald film was found in Norway:
Only 25 seconds of Empty Socks, a Walt Disney cartoon featuring Oswald, was thought to exist. But archivists at Norway’s National Library conducting an inventory at the library’s vault in Mo i Rana, in the Arctic Circle, found an almost complete version of the film.
“At the beginning, we didn’t know it was a lost cinematographic treasure,” said Kjetil Kvale Soerenssen, an archivist at the library. “The film was in two reels which weren’t clearly labeled.”
Oswald is currently seeing a resurgence in popularity after having been required from NBCUniversal in exchange for Al Michaels.
