Triumphant Return

As many Disney fans may recall, Walt Disney and his team of animators created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit before they created Mickey Mouse. In a not-so-magical turn of fate, Walt Disney lost the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and it appeared that all was lost. Herein enters our hero Mickey Mouse to save the Walt Disney Company.

In 2006, Bob Iger made a deal with NBC Universal that exchanged Al Michaels, the sportscaster, for the rights of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. After this exchange, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit returned to the Disney Parks and Disney merchandise. “For the first time in forever,” we now can see Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in an animated short.

It is so great to see Oswald the Lucky Rabbit return in this fun animation. We hope that he will be present throughout this 100 Years of Wonder celebration in 2023.
