The definitive history of the twenty-six Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoons directed by Walt Disney!

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is an in-depth look at the origins of the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio and their first major fully animated success in 1927 with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit series.

The narrative explores the historical importance of this character within The Walt Disney Company and recounts, first, the rejection of the first Oswald short, Poor Papa, followed by the overwhelmingly positive reception of second short, Trolley Troubles, and the ultimate loss of Disney's rights to the character and the company's modern-day journey to reclaim Disney's films.

-- No book has ever tackled the topic of the formation of The Walt Disney Company exclusively!
-- Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is planned to coincide with the character's ninetieth anniversary in 2017 and be a first-to-market edition for D23 Expo in summer 2017-the perfect entry points for Disney fans to find and want to own this title!
