Oswald the Lucky Rabbit Returns to Disney
Mickey Mouses predecessor, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, hops back to The Walt Disney Co. from NBC/Universal, the company that had previously owned the rights to Oswald since his theatrical debut in 1927.
As the forerunner to Mickey Mouse and an important part of Walt Disneys creative legacy, the fun and mischievous Oswald is back where he belongs, at the home of his creator and among the stable of beloved characters created by Walt himself, said Disney president/ceo Robert A. Iger.
