Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was created in 1927 by Walt Disney and his team through twenty-six successful cartoon shorts. At the end of that initial run, Walt lost the contract to Oswald, which prompted the creation of Mickey Mouse. Over the years, Oswald became a footnote in the Disney story until 2006, when The Walt Disney Company recovered rights to Walt's twenty-six shorts. This engaging and accessible volume delivers an in-depth look at Walt's first major animated success and the journey to reclaim the lost Disney films.
