The Triumphant Return of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit

In 1927, Walt Disney, Ub Iwerks, and Charles Mintz worked together to create Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. It was a quiet success to begin, but eventually Mintz stole it and kept it for himself and his company, Universal. The last thing Oswald appeared in before the 21st century was a cameo in The Woody Woodpecker Polka in 1951. However, in 2006, Oswald returned to Disney, finally being avenged. Disney traded sportscaster, Al Michaels to Universal for Oswald. Oswald didn't do much for Disney until 2011. He appeared in the Epic Mickey video game. Now he can be found in any store on merchandise! Posters, clothing, plush toys. Oswald is back and Universal can take that.
