Disney is giving Oswald his Own New Mini-Series

Oswald is a true Disney original! And soon you can get to know him in a brand new mini-series.

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit

Many Disney fans don't realize that before Mickey Mouse, there was a rabbit called Oswald. It was a series of Oswald the Lucky cartoon shorts that became Walt Disney's first big break.

Unfortunately, the little rabbit that Walt Disney drew contractually belonged to Universal, the company Walt was working with when he created Oswald. When Universal parted ways with Walt, he realized he'd also lost the rights to Oswald.

That is why a character created by Walt Disney ultimately belonged to another company for 80 years. However, in 2006, Disney CEO Bob Iger finally brought Oswald Back to the Walt Disney Company. Of course, the Oswald character has since entered the public domain.

Oswald Mini Series

And soon, you will be able to watch an all-new mini series of Disney animated shorts starring Oswald! The series was announced at D23, the ultimate event for Disney fans!

The Oswald mini-series will utilize an old animation style. It will feature 2D hand-drawn animation in combination with live-action film.

Oswald is being written, directed, and executive produced by Jon Favreau. It will take place over a series of 3 episodes.
