Disney veteran Jon Favreau is teaming up with Disney+ to bring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit to the small screen in a new series. Favreau, known for his blend of live-action and animation, will write and produce this exciting project. Plot details and casting remain under wraps for now.
Oswald, a pivotal figure in Disney history, initially starred in 26 silent cartoons from 1927 to 1928 before a rights dispute led to his departure. This period, detailed in our comprehensive look at Disney's 100-year history, paved the way for the creation of Mickey Mouse. Disney reacquired the rights to Oswald in 2006 and released a new short film featuring the character in 2022. This new series signifies a significant expansion of Oswald's presence within the Disney universe. While a release date is yet to be announced, the project promises a unique live-action and animation hybrid.
Favreau's involvement with this classic Disney property comes alongside his extensive work on newer franchises. He's a key figure in the Star Wars universe, contributing to *The Mandalorian*, *Skeleton Crew*, and *Ahsoka*. His contributions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe span 15 years, both in front of and behind the camera, including directing the 2019 *Lion King* remake. He's also set to direct *The Mandalorian* and Grogu's theatrical release in 2026.While Oswald's return to Disney is significant, it's worth noting that 2023 saw the release of Oswald: Down the Rabbit Hole, a horror film starring Ernie Hudson, marking a different take on the classic character.
