A piece of Walt Disney Animation history is getting his own starring vehicle. No, not another member of Mickey Mouse’s usual inner circle of Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Goofy. But rather someone who’s roots run deeper at the House of Mouse. We’re talking of course about Oswald the Lucky Rabbit!
Apparently “The Mandalorian” guru Jon Favreau has written a live-action/animation hybrid series about the character, and will produce for Disney+.
Oswald was created in 1927 by Walt Disney. He starred in 27 animated shorts! Universal Pictures took control of Oswald in 1928, prompting Walt to create the Lucky Rabbit’s replacement- Mickey Mouse.
We don’t know much about the project yet, other than Favreau’s writing and producing involvement. We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
