Leonard Maltin, American film critic and mainstream author, comes across a forgotten, unreleased Mickey Mouse cartoon created by Walt Disney himself. The black-and-white cartoon consisted of a looped animation of Mickey Mouse, with a dismal look in his face, walking down a street with six buildings, accompanied by jumbled, eerie piano music. This would go on until the screen faded to black and the cartoon supposedly ended.

But the cartoon did not end with the black screen. Instead, when it reached the sixth minute, we now see Mickey walking down the street, and the piano sounds were replaced by a faint murmur. As the cartoon went on, the murmur evolved into a "gurgling cry", the sidewalk began to go in directions that seemed simply impossible based on the physics of Mickey's walking, the buildings slowly became more destroyed and crumbled, but most importantly, Mickey's dismal face began to slowly curl into a smirk, and later on, a big wide smile.

By the time the seventh minute approached, however, despair would ensue. the gargled cry turned into a bloodcurdling scream, The buildings were burning and falling apart, colors were shown that shouldn’t have been technologically possible at the time, the sidewalk continued to navigate in impossibly warped directions, and worst of all, Mickey’s face began to fall apart. His eyes squirmed down the bottom of his chin like a goopy liquid, and his already grimacing smile began to point upward on the left side of his face, growing above his head; thus leading to what would Randy Hilson's design would become years later.

All this madness disturbed Maltin to the point where he had to leave the room, sending an employee to finish watching the cartoon, take notes of everything that happened up until the last second and store the disc into a vault. The cartoon lasted for eight whole minutes before abruptly cutting to the Mickey Mouse credits face at the end, along with what sounded like a broken music box playing in the background for about 30 seconds.

After the last frame, the employee stumbled out of the room with pale skin and a traumatized look on his face as he repeatedly kept uttering the sentence “Real Suffering is not known...” seven times before hastily swiping a pistol off of a security guard and committing suicide on the spot. Everyone was then terminated from their jobs after what happened.

Further analyzation of the cartoon revealed that the last frame of the cartoon consisted of a piece of Russian text that roughly translated to “The sights of hell bring its viewers back in.”. Although no one else has ever seen the cartoon again, there have been dozens of attempts at hosting the cartoon's file on Rapidshare by studio employees, all of whom have been promptly terminated of their jobs.
