All Wet is a 1927 animated short subject film, produced by Charles Mintz and George Winkler and directed by Walt Disney.[2] The film was reissued in 1932 by Walter Lantz Productions with added music and sound effects and is the only known version to survive.[3] The short entered the public domain on January 1, 2023.
Oswald the Rabbit is selling hot dogs at the beach. However, the hot dogs have their own sentience and cause problems for those that buy them. Oswald then sees a girl he likes, Fanny, and he closes down his hot dog stand to go and impress her.[4] She is pretending not to be interested in Oswald, so Oswald pays a lifeguard for his badge and dresses up as a lifeguard. Fanny becomes more enamored seeing Oswald as a lifeguard and then she decides to test Oswald's abilities by rowing a boat into the ocean and calling out for help. As Oswald rows out to help her, Fanny gets attacked by a big fish. Oswald and Fanny are then shot back to shore by a wave, and Fanny is unconscious in need of resuscitation. Oswald gets her breathing again, Fanny kisses Oswald and he is happy and the two kiss, and the short ends.
The short features Oswald selling hot dogs, the gag would be similarly re-used in the Mickey Mouse short, The Karnival Kid, in 1929.[5] The aforementioned cartoon was the ninth Mickey cartoon released following his creation, which came after Walt Disney lost the rights to Oswald. Animation used during the sequence where Oswald rescues Miss Rabbit would later be re-purposed during Wild Waves.[6]
The short was released on December 11, 2007 on Walt Disney Treasures: The Adventures of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.[7] A restored version of the short was released on Disney+ in September 2023 as part of Disney's 100th Anniversary.[8]
