‘The Mandalorian’ creator Jon Favreau will write and produce the animation/live-action hybrid project, based on Walt Disney’s original cartoon character lost to Universal in 1928, for Disney+.
Jon Favreau (The Mandalorian, The Lion King) is set to pen and produce an Oswald the Lucky Rabbit animation/live action hybrid series for Disney+, from Walt Disney Studios.
Oswald, an early Disney cartoon who bears a close resemblance to Mickey Mouse, was also the catalyst for the creation of the beloved character; Universal acquired the rights to Oswald in 1928, spurring Disney to create his rodent replacement. Walt Disney Co. regained the rabbit’s trademark in 2006, although it eventually entered the public domain in 2023.
The lucky character has not returned to Disney unscathed, however. The upcoming Oswald Down the Rabbit Hole horror flick promises to take the franchise in an entirely different - and creepy- direction.
