Walt Disney's Standard Parade for 1939 Trailers

A live action black-and-white prolog tells the story of how Walt Disney came to Hollywood with $300, was rejected by all the major studios, but went on to tremendous success, many awards, and a thriving studio. Titles then ask what this means to the Standard Oil Salesman, and a parade of Disney characters gives us the answer, featuring Mickey as drum major, Minnie carrying a banner, and the 7 Dwarfs carrying the letters "STANDARD" (Dopey gets stuck with the last two): Apparently the various ads for Standard will be featuring Disney characters in the coming year.

Reviews
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
