Oswald the Lucky Rabbit - The Search for the Lost Disney Cartoons

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was created in 1927 by Walt Disney and his team through twenty-six cartoon shorts. Not without fits and starts, the series and its impish title character were an instant hit with audiences. 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. Behind-the-scenes, a complex and labor-intensive search developed for the physical film footage of some Oswald cartoons deemed "lost to time." For anyone interested in Disney origins, fascinated by early cinema, or entertained by a feisty little rabbit, 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.

PRAISE FOR DALI AND DISNEY: DESTINO-THE STORY, ARTWORK, AND FRIENDSHIP BEHIND THE LEGENDARY FILM

"In 1946, Salvador Dal and Walt Disney began collaborating on a short film. It took nearly sixty years for that film to be completed for various reasons . . . [Dali and Disney: Destino] tells the story of how Dal and Disney became friends first, and then collaborators . . . Destino ended up being a very short film, and it's a shame we don't know what the original vision would have looked like, but this book is an inside peek at how it all came to be."-Geek Dad
