I love the deeper meanings of this animation, the characters were never Disney characters at all. It was all the result of the broken mind of a war veteran who had to live with a horrible mistake he made. His slow and steady fall into madness caused his sense of self and reality to blend with so many things he had seen before until he couldn’t tell the difference between the reality he’s trapped in and the fiction he watched as a kid. It was all a blur, a blur that only gained clarity when he realized and accepted his mistake and the way it affected everyone and himself

I was thinking exactly the same and was about to comment about it until I saw your post. Yes, the protagonist's mind is so broken he is replacing them with his childhood shows. It's sad. Tragic. And this just only shows the masterfully crafted work of art which is this video. and its prequel.

People who struggle with the present and fear the future often cloister themselves in the past. Mickey here clad his own reality in better memories from childhood to make living more bearable.

I just realized that the reason Mike/Micky saw everything as the cartoon and his reality was so distorted was because once he got back from his mission the CIA put him through MK-ULTRA to make sure he stayed quiet and genuinely believed in what he did. His lying and keeping the file was his psyche in some way absolutely refusing to believe that and refusing to let it go. His mind tried to crawl into his childhood, making everything a cartoon to cope, but it didn't work. No matter what he couldn't leave the war, couldn't leave what he did. Irregardless of how hard he tried.

it's no coincidence that steam boat willie goes public and youtube recommends this video again

One thing I just realized is that when the voice is asking him if he destroyed the documents, his voice flutters a little when he says "yes", unlike the monotone nature of all of his other answers. He kept the documents all that time, despite his orders to destroy them, because he couldn't bring himself to destroy the thing his best friend gave his life to protect. That's amazing storytelling right there in my opinion. It was only because he never destroyed the documents out of respect for his friend's determination that the only friend he had left gave up when he was forced to read them.

@partsground4096

seems he had to fight truth serum through that too, basically rewire his brain into believing something else

But the fact that before he was sounding like the actual mickey, but now, it's a whole different voice. It's just honestly insane what could happen to a man after he truly snaps.

My thoughts were so scattered because of how deep this is.

I tried showing my friends this video. All of them scoffed at it saying "What is so special about it" or "It's alright." or "Why is it Mickey Mouse themed?". This has got to be the most meaningful and deep 17 minute video of my life. The way the film displays PTSD and the effects of war are amazing. Being able to see all the characters interact with each other after what Mickey has done to Goofy is phenomenal. Please keep making more films like this, it is an eye opening experience with the writers and VAs make it sound and feel in the moment.

This is completely hand made and doesnt use any CGI, voices are recorded and tested and music is produced by the creators. Although i dont know what you mean with this not making sense or not getting things straight since multiple war veterans or conscripts have visited the channel and OST, reporting that they took the story seriously and understood it. BUT, again, this means that this is content of a genre, implying that some people will love it and others despise it. Last drispoval of your point. How. How the hell is this for kids. It is very clear that this animation did not find it's correct public, and the posibility is that kids were attracted to this animation, somehow werent noticed by their patents, and did not get what it was about.

Holy shit.. i came in expecting a joke, ended tearing up. Whole room felt like it was spinning. This was probably one of the greatest stories ive seen. This went hard

Used to be a funny, 2 and half minute video about mickey in Vietnam. Now it's a half hour long seris about Mickey taking on the full guilt of his actions.

Oh shit, I love the twist of Mickey being MK-Ultra'd to forget what he saw, which broke his already damaged mind even more, causing it to take his memories of the Mickey Mouse cartoons he watched as a kid and conflate them with reality - which, in the end, made him hallucinate himself and others as Mickey Mouse characters. Great fucking work, Snake, cheers.

So, I've watched this again after a year and... it's hit me really deep. In the time between the first and second watching, my service-related PTSD has gotten bad. My mental health is slipping. I sense threats everywhere without seeing them and my heart feels like it's going to explode the moment that I hear something frightening. A sound. Anything. I didn't even do anything in the Navy. I was at Fukushima providing relief. I was in the Gulf of Arabia and Oman watching sandstorms roll over the ocean. But I'm trapped back there. Thinking, being told I was going to die every day as a naval firefighter. I'm trapped. I can't escape and I'm going to die trapped. The commonality between PTSD sufferers is a strange one. Mickey and I are trapped. And we can't escape what haunts us from the shadows, from the corners of our vision that are almost made realized. Thank you for making this.

I love how mick’s insanity is explained by the use of characters, you can see moments of sanity in the glitches. This isn’t a story of Disney characters in Vietnam, it’s the story of a Vietnam vet turned detective that copes with what he saw and did by imagining his friends, family and himself as Disney characters. It’s the only way he can remember, as you can clearly see the military wiped (or tried to) his memory, leaving only his childhood for reference. And because of that he mistakenly sees people as Disney characters. This story is actually really sad. And I did not expect this out of a shit post.

The fact, that they are real people instead of disney characters actually explains Mickeys realistic face. He ignores the memories and faces of the people he hurt, by replacing them with childhood memories, but no matter what, he can never truly forget his own actions, the man he has become. He tries but the sins of the past are always lurking in the background, never to be forgotten. What a masterpiece.

Reminds me of a part from Shawshank Redemption. When you put people in a box for most of their life, be it a prison cell or a tour of the Middle East, you shouldn't be surprised if they can't life with themselves when they're thrown out into the world.

This is better than 90% of Netflix shows.

one thing i really love about the scene where mickey confronts goofy's ghost is how it reflects the scene from macbeth where he confronts banquo's ghost - sitting in his seat, silently, his hands covered in his own blood, not speaking a single word while macbeth goes back and forth between convincing himself of the impossibility of the situation, and quickly getting more and more stressed. i think it does wonders for portraying mickey's character - a man who once had ambition, who once sought for the glory of his country, now broken and living with the guilt of his actions; forced to look into the eyes of those who have been destroyed by his own hand, and the ghost of the best friend he killed. his hands, covered in blood, silently glaring at his killer while he slowly breaks down in the face of silence. the parallels between the scenes make it all the more powerful, and make this piece of art something even greater. i adore this video man LOL

At first, I was like "Bruh what happened to their silly cartoon voices?" But it makes sense now, knowing that they were real people, not cartoon characters
