Oh, hell yes another post about a suicidal cartoon character.

Yeah, alright not really. Mickey Mouse didn't really commit suicide...but someone did.

Sometime in the new millennium (to those who don't know, that's the year 2000), rumors of an unreleased Mickey Mouse video spread. It was a rare, practically never-before-seen episode so not even the most die-hard Disney/Mickey fans caught a glimpse of it. However, according to the story, they were lucky not to see it.

The video was really nothing special. It was just a clip of Mickey walking down a street. Just like most cartoon done in the 1930's, the video had a piano playing in the background. Only, in this one, it wasn't in a cheerful beat. Actually, it wasn't in any beat at all. The keys were just randomly banged and pressed all throughout.

To go with the horrible, or well horribly disturbing, piano playing, a very poorly done, amateur-ish animation of Mickey sadly walking was shown. His hands were folded seriously behind his back and his head was bowed, like he was thinking of something deep while he passed by six buildings and a weird sidewalk in an endless loop.

The video went on like that for about a minute and a half. After that, it turned into black and that was that.

Or so they thought.

The screen was black for about three minutes and they really thought that the weird video was over until they noticed that the clip was about nine minutes long. At around 5:04, Mickey came up again, doing the same thing that he has been doing as before. The bad piano playing was gone this time, though, only to be replaced by somewhat of a...um...murmur. A controlled scream, if you will.

The noise grew louder and more distinct as the next minute entered and the visuals started to get weirder. The sidewalk Mickey was walking on started to twist and contort into weird directions and the whole scene got twitchier. When minute 7 was hit, a sudden scream blasted through the speakers and the clip got even more weird.

Colors were tainting the clip, which was definitely strange because that wasn't even possible back then and suddenly, Mickey's eyes just rolled off of his face. The six buildings were now floating, pretty much disconnected from the sidewalk and the sidewalk itself continued to contort into impossible directions.

Leonard Maltin, the Disney animator who was watching this back then, got too creeped out, so he left the room and sent an employee in to finish the video, write down what happened to the very last second, then keep the disc of the cartoon in a vault. Sources say that the screaming from 7:00 continued till 8:00 before the usual Mickey Mouse face at the end of every MM cartoon appeared with somewhat of a broken music box for background audio. That lasted for about thirty seconds.

A security guard who was posted outside the viewing room claimed that when the employee who was instructed to watch looked very pale as he stumbled out. "Real suffering is not known!" he proclaimed 7 times before taking the guard's pistol and shooting himself.

Of course, everyone went into panic mode when this happened and Maltin decided to see what the ending of the video was. Apparently, the last frame was a clip displaying Russian text that, translated, said: "The sights of hell brings its viewers back in."

I've searched the video on YouTube and found it pretty easily. I've seen it myself, and honestly I was quite disappointed. Why? Well, find out for yourself.
