Who is Oswald the Lucky Rabbit?

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is one of Disney’s earliest and most significant characters, created in 1927 by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks.

Known for his mischievous yet charming personality, Oswald starred in a series of silent cartoons during the late 1920s. As an anthropomorphic rabbit, he showcased a sense of humor, athleticism, and resilience that resonated with audiences of the time, becoming a precursor to the success of later Disney icons.

Oswald’s creation marked a pivotal moment in Walt Disney’s career. Unfortunately, the character’s rights were owned by Universal Studios, which led to a contractual dispute in 1928. When Disney lost control of Oswald, he and Ub Iwerks pivoted to create Mickey Mouse, a character that would eventually surpass Oswald in popularity.

For decades, Oswald remained under Universal’s ownership. In 2006, The Walt Disney Company regained the rights to Oswald through a unique trade with NBCUniversal. Since then, Disney has reintroduced Oswald to modern audiences through merchandise, theme park appearances, and new media.

Oswald was initially voiced by several actors, including Pinto Colvig, who later became the voice of Goofy. In recent portrayals, Frank Welker provided Oswald’s voice in the 2010 video game Epic Mickey.
