Oswald the Lucky Rabbit History
Walt Disney created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in 1927. Oswald starred in several animated shorts created by Disney before Universal took control of the character. To replace Oswald, Disney created the character of Mickey Mouse.
Disney CEO Bob Iger successfully reacquired the rights to Oswald in 2006. Since then, Oswald has made appearances in the Disney Parks and on merchandise. He was a main character in the video game Epic Mickey. In 2022, Disney released their first hand-drawn Oswald short in 95 years.
