Suicide Mouse - El vídeo del suicidio
A mis ojos ha llegado, mediante una suscripción a Youtube, un video (en tono de humor) con la advertencia de cómo visualizar un clip sobre un tal “Suicide Mouse“. Al parecer se ha difundido un corto de 7 minutos (donde las malas lenguas comentan que fue Disney sobre los años 30 quien lo creó) en el cual podemos ver al ratón más famoso de la compañía a lo largo de una interminable calle y escuchando música y efectos de lo más extraño y acongojadores.
Según algunas fuentes que he podido leer la historia de como ha llegado este cortometraje a la luz pública, se basan en conjeturas y empleados de la factoría Disney que lo tenían encubierto. La misma historia comenta los diferentes eventos que suceden dentro de su reproducción: sonidos de piano, whitenoise, cortes, voces o efectos visuales anticuados. Pero la peor parte de toda esta trama, es su final. El suicidio de la persona que lo ve. Así narran la brutal muerte de un empleado de un tal Mr. Martin que trabajó en el montaje del mismo, el cual tras llegar al final del mismo decidió quitarse la vida.
Mucho revuelo se ha formado con el polémico vídeo. ¿Realidad, ficción o chorrada? , si la compañía ha intentado que no se difundiera de ninguna manera, lo hizo en vano, ya que se supone que los mismos empleados empezaron a distribuirlo por servicios como megaupload.
Algunos comentan también que faltan los últimos frames del clip, otros que no. Hay versiones de 7 minutos para los que quieren apreciarlo sin ver su destructivo final, y otra versión de 9 minutos (se supone la completa) en la cual la gente lo ha tenido que para 30 segundos antes de terminar. Yo he ido saltando de minuto en minuto y la cosa es de película, no causa buen rollito. De todas formas os dejo con la pieza que, por recomendación, NO debéis ver en su totalidad.

“Please be advised that you watch at your OWN risk.
So do any of you remember those Mickey Mouse cartoons from the 1930s? The ones that were just put out on DVDa few years ago? Well, I hear there is one that was unreleased to even the most avid classic disney fans. According to sources, it’s nothing special. It’s just a continuous loop (like flinstones) of mickey walking past 6 buildings that goes on for two or three minutes before fading out. Unlike the cutesy tunes put in though, the song on this cartoon was not a song at all, just a constant banging on a piano as if the keys for a minute and a half before going to white noise for the remainder of the film. It wasn’t the jolly old Mickey we’ve come to love either, Mickey wasn’t dancing, not even smiling, just kind of walking as if you or I were walking, with a normal facial expression, but for some reason his head tilted side to side as he kept this dismal look. Up until a year or two ago, everyone believed that after it cut to black and that was it. When Leonard Maltin was reviewing the cartoon to be put in the complete series, he decided it was too junk to be on the DVD, but wanted to have a digital copy due to the fact that it was a creation of Walt. When he had a digitized version up on his computer to look at the file, he noticed something.
The cartoon was 9 minutes and 4 seconds long.
“After it cut to black, it stayed like that until the 6th minute, before going back into Mickey walking. The sound was different this time. It was a murmur. It wasn’t a language, but more like a gurgled cry. As the noise got more indistinguishable and loud over the next minute, the picture began to get weird. The sidewalk started to go in directions that seemed impossible based on the physics of Mickeys walking. And the dismal face of the mouse was slowly curling into a smirk. On the 7th minute, the murmur turned into a bloodcurdling scream (the kind of scream painful to hear) and the picture was getting more obscure. Colors were happening that shouldn’t have been possible at the time. Mickey face began to fall apart. his eyes rolled on the bottom of his chin like two marbles in a fishbowl, and his curled smile was pointing upward on the left side of his face. The buildings became rubble floating in midair and the sidewalk was still impossibly navigating in warped directions, a few seeming inconcievable with what we, as humans, know about direction. Mr. Maltin got disturbed and left the room, sending an employee to finish the video and take notes of everything happening up until the last second, and afterward immediately store the disc of the cartoon into the vault. This distorted screaming lasted until 8 minutes and a few seconds in, and then it abruptly cuts to the mickey mouse face at the credits of the end of every video with what sounded like a broken music box playing in the backround. This happened for about 30 seconds. From a security guard working under me who was making rounds outside of that room, I was told that after the last frame, the employee stumbled out of the room with pale skin saying “Real suffering is not known” 7 times before speedily taking the guards pistol and offing himself on the spot. The thing I could get out of Leonard Maltin was that the last frame was a piece of russian text that roughly said “the sights of hell bring its viewers back in”. As far as I know, no one else has seen it, (..untill now). “
