To celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary, the studio released a brand new animated short featuring one of the company’s oldest and most forgotten characters, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
If you’ve heard of Oswald, it could be because the character appeared in the 2010 game Epic Mickey
Oswald returned to Walt Disney Corporation ownership in 2006, and while the character later appeared in games, merch andise, and in the parks, this is his first appearance in an animated short since.
“Oswald is such a brave rascal. We wanted to bring Oswald back, and in short, he literally returns to his original home, the big screen,” says director Eric Goldberg. “We wanted Oswald to do the whole ‘squash-and-stretch’, ‘rubber-hose’ animation style to celebrate this first generation of Walt Disney artists.”
The short film is currently available on youtube.
