Oswald the Lucky Rabbit has always been a big part of the Walt Disney Company. He was one of Walt Disney’s original characters and appeared in animated shorts before Universal acquired Oswald. This later caused Disney to create Mickey Mouse.

Disney acquired Oswald in 2006 by trading Al Michaels, the NBC Sunday Night Football announcer, for the Oswald trademark.
The new TV series coming to Disney+ will feature Oswald “in a blend of animation and live action, bringing his mischievous attitude and self-absorbed antics to modern audiences.”
