Congrats to "NOBODY KNOWS" by Mohamed Wane, a Finalist in the Internet Archive’s 2026 Public Domain Film Remix Contest 🎬
An achievement in editing that builds a mood of longing, suffering, and rapture. Quietly powerful and deeply felt.

🎉 Welcome to the Public Domain, THE SHINDIG (1930)! 🐭🐭🎶
🎬 Mickey & Minnie take to the stage to show off their musical chops in this charming barn dance. Horace Horsecollar & Clarabelle Cow cut a rug as dancers.
🚫The cartoon got barred in Ohio for a gag where Clarabell is reading the controversial 1907 romance novel "Three Weeks" by Elinor Glyn & hides it when Horace comes a-calling. 🐮📖
