The Ocean Hop is a 1927 American animated comedy short film directed by Walt Disney and produced by Winkler Pictures.[2] The film was reissued in 1932 by Walter Lantz Productions with added music and sound effects and is the only known surviving version.[3] The short entered the public domain in 1955 due to the copyright not being renewed.[4] It is the first appearance of Peg Leg Pete in the series.
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit enters into an airplane race across the Atlantic Ocean. While there he encounters a mean rival, Peg Leg Pete, who taunts him and causes his plane to get glued to the ground with chewing gum. As Peg Leg Pete takes a lead, Oswald manages to construct a plane of balloons and a long dachshund dog. While at first managing to put up a good effort, Oswald is eventually shot down by Peg Leg Pete over Paris. After parachuting into Paris, Oswald is welcomed by the local patrons as he ended up winning the race.
