Poor Papa

Poor Papa
Poor Papa is a cartoon released on June 11, 1928. This cartoon is the first produced in the series, but 21st released. The short was written by Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney, and directed by Walt Disney.

Plot
Oswald tries to stop a stork from delivering babies.

Production
Poor Papa was created for Universal in early 1927, but was ultimately rejected because Oswald looked too old and ugly. The short eventually was released on June 11, 1928.

Preservation Status
After its release in 1928, the short was considered lost, as the only element recovered was a 35mm nitrate clipping of the title card, until it started to reappear in auctions in the early 2000's. After a failed attempt to get a print in time for the 2007 DVD release, Disney acquired a 16mm home movie edition from 1930 in 2014.
