    EXPLAINING DISNEY #13
    I take a look at the evolution of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, the ORIGINAL Mickey Mouse, created by the Walt Disney studio - but taken from him by Universal studios!
    Oswald was Disney’s first star and this video follows him right from his first appearances in 1927 through to his stint at Universal, his disappearance in the 1960s, his re-emergence at Disney in 2006 and his modern Disney appearances, up until today in 2019.
    I take a look at how Oswald evolved alongside Disney’s other popular characters, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy and Chip An Dale, how he survived (or didn’t) amongst the times’ biggest cartoon stars - Felix the Cat, Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes, Woody Woodpecker, The Flintstones and Yogi Bear, and how Disney and Universal animators changed his look, appearance, and personality over time - as a follow-up to my previous videos “Evolution of MICKEY MOUSE Over 90 Years (1928-2018) Explained”, “Evolution of DONALD DUCK Over 85 Years (1934-2019) Explained”, "Evolution of GOOFY Over 87 Years (1930-2019) Explained”, “Evolution of MINNIE MOUSE Over 91 Years (1928-2019) Explained”, “Evolution of PETE, Disney's Oldest Character, Over 94 Years (1925-2019) Explained”

    I remember over a decade ago, before Epic Mickey, where I had dream about a Mickey Mouse-like rabbit. Few months later, I went to ask my sister (who was working at the Disney parks at the time) who that character was and did he ever exist; but she didn't know. Fast forward to Epic Mickey's release, as I was walking past a Gamestop, I noticed they had cover boxes advertising the game. Upon looking closer, I was in absolute shock because the same rabbit I saw in my dream was on the cover and turned out he was real. Immediately, I got the game and that's how he became my favorite Disney character.

    This is one of those stories that shows that just because you know how to be a "business man" doesn't mean you're creative or know what to do with your properties. Walt started creative and knew what to do with his characters but he learned how to be a business man because of this story. And he made damn sure this type of thing would never happen to him again.

    • @RubberyCat
      @RubberyCat 5 лет назад +19

      Part of the problem is probably that they don't quite know what to do with the Oswald, as he is too much like Mickey.
      There is essentially no place for a second such character, especially since Mickey can already fill any role required, and already have several different versions that is still Mickey.
      What they need to do, is focus on the differences, however small they are.
      They're perfect for cooperation (Mario Bros, Luigi used to be a copy of Mario).
      They're perfect for friendly rivalry (Street Fighter, Ken was originally a second Ryu in fighting abilities).
      There is also the "We're the same, but not" (Morrigan & Lilith comes to mind, among others).
      I know my examples are from computer games, but it is possible to find similar situations in other fiction, especially in crossovers, but... thinking of it, has Mickey EVER had any rival, friendly or not?
      Also, now when Mickey is big, and it may seem impossible to do certain things with him ... why not use Oswald?

Mintz died in 1939. As for Screen Gems it closed in 1946 before the name was brought be for television until 1974 then since 1999 the name was brought back again as a specialty feature film studio.

    Bizarrely enough, I think from a business standpoint the best way to get Oswald back in the picture would be to make him a recurring character in the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Roadster Racer shows since those are pretty popular with little kids and would have him familiarized as part of the group so that growing up they might never realize he wasn't always there. That age group is also one of the biggest fans for the classic Disney gang.

    Oswald would be great if they brought him back with a stronger personality. I'm thinking something like Milo Murphy from Milo Murphy's Law. He is a lucky rabbit after all, but they could play with it being both good and bad luck; seeing him getting into catastrophic messes but always getting out just in time while remaining "Peppy, alert, saucy, venturesome, neat, and trim."

    I mean, I think it’s difficult to imagine Oswald gaining popularity when he isn’t used for anything but easter eggs and regionally-dictated shorts. Mickey Mouse is a legacy character who is only in a limited number of modern appearances, so if Disney was to attempt to put Oswald up in a similar rank to the Disney Trifecta (Mickey Donald Goofy), then they’d need to release substantial work starring him. It seems as though his acquisition was more for the two video games, as any potential interest in the character would’ve required a greater investment and perhaps endanger overshadowing Mickey. For now, he feels more like a progenitor than an equal-the one that came first but was surpassed in every way. His value is almost entirely sentimental for the company.

      Actually Epic Mickey wasn't a joint venture between Universal and Disney. Universal completely gave up the rights to Use Oswald in 2006 for Al Michaels with Epic Mickey being made by Disney's Junction Point. Universal has even had to erase all references to Oswald in their parks worldwide. Disney currently owns Oswald himself, All Disney made Oswald films, the characters under his Disney IP (Ortensia, Toby Bear the bunny children, etc.) and the right to use him as well. However what some employees have said is that they don't know what to do with Oswald's character which was a problem that they had with Epic Mickey as well where Oswald's character was changed several times.

    It was in the late 1950s/early 1960s that I knew of Oswald the Rabbit as a character in the comic book Walter Lantz' TV Funnies,along with Woody Woodpecker,Andy Panda and Chilly Willy. When I read in the Encyclopedia an article about Walt Disney I was surprised to see mention of Oswald as a series from Disney Studios. Then in the first book I read about Walt Disney it was explained that Oswald was taken from Disney by Charles Mintz and eventually ended up with Walter Lantz.
