For the first time in 95 years, there is a new Disney short about Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
created Mickey Mouse, he created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit for Universal Pictures. The character, who became one of Disney’s first big animated hits, starred in a series of shorts beginning in 1927. Within a year, Disney lost control of the character. That’s when he created Mickey. The rest, as they say, was history.
Oswald remained outside the Disney company for decades, until a very peculiar deal in 2006, when then Disney CEO Bob Iger essentially traded broadcaster Al Michaels to NBCUniversal in exchange for the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
