Oswald the Lucky Rabbit participated in a transatlantic race in his sixth short, released on November 14th, 1927. "The Ocean Hop" marks the debut of Bootleg Pete in the Oswald series, who was a reused character from Walt Disney's Alice Comedies. If the name sounds familiar, it's because after losing the rights to Oswald, Walt transformed Bootleg Pete from a bear into a cat named Pegleg Pete, a character who still plays a big role in Mickey Mouse stories, now known simply as Pete.
"The Ocean Hop" was also the debut of Wienie the Weiner Dog, who remained nameless in the Oswald shorts but later resurfaced in Mickey Mouse comics with this name. The known prints of the film are missing a gag that was controversial back in 1927 in which Wienie met his end by falling into a French taxi, sausage links flying out of the back of the car. It was not only cut from a later re-issue, but the only known original silent print in existence has the scene manually removed.
