The Mad Doctor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mad Doctor was a classic Mickey Mouse cartoon released in 1933.
The plot centers on the title character, a mad scientist who has captured Mickey's dog, Pluto. Mickey tries to rescue him before the Mad Doctor can perform his grotesque experiment: switching Pluto's body with that of a chicken.
The short's horror overtones made it unusual for a Mickey Mouse cartoon. Some theaters refused to show it, believing it to be too scary for children.
The Mad Doctor was also the basis for, and title of the second level in the game, Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse [(for Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Sega CD and Sony PlayStation (as Mickey's Wild Adventure)]; a depiction of the Mad Doctor level is used as the cover art for the game.
