I'd like to know more about the original uncut version. Thank you

Another deleted version was where the children throw knives at Mickey and pin him to the wall." There would have been no reason to cut these scenes in 1932. More likely it was done in the 1950s or later. And I don't recall for sure, but the Disney Treasures DVD almost certainly contained the uncensored version. According to <a href="http://www.disneyshorts.org/years/1932/mickeysnightmare.html" target="_blank">http://www.disneyshorts.org/ye...are.html</a> , it was based on a 1928 Oswald the Rabbit cartoon called "Poor Papa." The title was changed to "Mickey's Wild Dream" for the home film release.
