The Office Boy poster

Released in 1930, The Office Boy is an animation and comedy film directed by Harry Bailey, running about 8 minutes.

What it’s about. A romance between two office workers--knockoffs of Mickey and Minnie Mouse--is threatened by their lecherous boss. This blatant rip-off of Disney's Mickey Mouse is indeed a fascinating effort. Not only is it most agreeably quaint, but it's remarkably fast-paced. And even better still, it's visually well-stocked with a host of neat gags. The superbly integrated music score rates as an outstandingly entertaining bonus.

How it landed. With an audience score of 7.0/10, The Office Boy has been warmly received by audiences.
