Jon Favreau, a Disney movie veteran, is collaborating with Disney on a Disney+ series featuring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a classic animated icon. A Deadline report reveals Favreau will blend live-action and animation to bring Oswald to the streaming service. He'll serve as both writer and producer. Plot details and casting remain undisclosed.
Oswald, a significant figure in Disney's animation history, had a brief initial run with the company. Created by Walt Disney, he starred in 26 silent cartoons (1927-1928) before a rights dispute led to Universal taking control. This period, detailed in our in-depth look at Disney's 100-year history, proved pivotal, ultimately leading to the creation of Mickey Mouse.
Disney reacquired Oswald's rights in 2006 and released a new short film featuring him in 2022—his first original appearance in 95 years. This new series suggests a more substantial commitment to the character. While a release date is unannounced, the live-action/animation hybrid is expected sometime in the future.
While Favreau tackles one of Disney's oldest properties, he's also heavily involved in newer franchises. His contributions to Star Wars ( The Mandalorian, Skeleton Crew, Ahsoka) and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (spanning 15 years, including directing the 2019 Lion King remake) are well-known. He's also set to direct The Mandalorian and Grogu's theatrical release in 2026.
Interestingly, Oswald's recent cinematic appearance predates this announcement by less than a year. In 2023, Oswald: Down the Rabbit Hole, a horror film starring Ernie Hudson, was released, capitalizing on Oswald's recent entry into the public domain.
