Before there was Mickey Mouse, there was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. This relic of the early days of Disney animation might not have been featured in animation for near 95 years, however he’s definitely nonetheless a properly beloved character. Oswald was suppose to get his personal streaming collection on Disney+, the designs, scripts, and animation take a look at had been completed with a pilot in manufacturing earlier than the entire thing was shut down.
But now, as a part of the 12 months lengthy Disney 100 Years of Wonder celebration, Oswald has made his return to animation. The official Disney Animation Twitter account shared that “Walt Disney’s Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is back! For the first time in nearly 95 years, Oswald stars in an all-new hand-drawn short from Walt Disney Animation Studios in celebration of Disney 100 Years of Wonder! #Disney100” together with a brand new quick that includes the rabbit. It is unquestionably an homage to the early days of Disney animation that includes the enjoyable piano music and the Looney Tunes-esque physics.
Hopefully, this may help open the door for Oswald to get extra display time, I feel some type of characteristic with him and Mickey could be fairly enjoyable. Or possibly we might resurrect that streaming collection that died. As Matt Danner, who’s crew was behind the streaming collection, mentioned, “Oswald has A LOT of love within Disney. I just wanted to share how serious that love is. I’m sure there will be an Oswald project coming your way in the near future”. Are you excited to see Oswald again?
