  • Jon Favreau is developing a Disney+ series blending animation and live-action called Oswald The Lucky Rabbit, featuring lead performances by actors including the star of Skeleton Crew, the actress from Raven’s Home and Mixed-ish, and a cast member known for roles in The Penguin and Palmer.
  • In 1927, Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks developed Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, but after losing the character's rights to Universal in 1928 due to a contract disagreement, Disney went on to create Mickey Mouse as a substitute.
  • The Walt Disney Company reacquired Oswald's rights in 2006 under CEO Bob Iger, making the new series the first major Oswald-led project in generations.
  • Ravi Cabot-Conyers plays Jake, a hardworking middle schooler; Harris plays artistic Jen; Allen plays cautious Taylor, while Amy Sedaris joined as Taylor's mother in the cast.
  • The series highlights Oswald's importance to Disney and reflects Favreau's role as writer, producer, and director, continuing his influence on Disney's major franchises.
