>VHS tape containing the only known copy of the animatic for a canceled 1985 Disney animated featurette entitled, "Swabbies."
>The tape contains the entire 25-minute animatic of the entire story that stars Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy as they enlist in the Navy and are immediately confronted with an overly aggressive drill sergeant (Pete) and pitted against the devious Beagle Boys. The animatic was created by filming the hand-drawn storyboards and editing them together to simulate the pace of the featurette, as well as featuring full vocal performances and temp music throughout (for example, the Oingo Boingo song "Same Man I Was Before" is used in this animatic under a training montage of Mickey, Donald, and Goofy in boot camp). Mickey is voiced by Wayne Allwine, Donald is voiced by Tony Anselmo, Goofy is voiced by Bill Farmer, Minnie Mouse is voiced by Russi Taylor, and Pete and the Beagle Boys are voiced by Will Ryan.
>"Swabbies" was intended to be the second of a series of animated featurettes that starred the classic animated Disney characters, as a way of re-introducing to the public and updating them for the 1980s. This project was concocted by the new heads of Disney, Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, and was to be run by the newly set up division animation division, Disney Special Projects Unit. One fully-animated featurette was produced and released, the 1987 20-minute short entitled Sport Goofy in Soccermania that aired on NBC. The production of that short was contentious and chaotic, and its reception was tepid, which meant that whatever would be its follow-up would be under a higher level of scrutiny. Its follow-up was "Swabbies."
