Good To See Him Back
boblipton2 December 2022
After the Disney Company swapped a sports announcer to Universal to regain control of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit -- which Disney lost control of in 1929 to Charles Mintz, who promptly lost him to Universal -- there was a DVD release of the extant silent Oswalds, then silence. Now that silence has been continued with the first new Oswald cartoon since 1944, a silent, one-minute short director by Eric Goldberg. It's very good.

I've been a particular fan of Goldberg's work since his segment of FANTASIA 2000, using Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". He also did "The Carnival of Animals". He's a loving talent who deserves more attention from animation lovers.

He's back
kosmasp7 September 2023
No pun intended - I mean they call him Oswald, so it is ok to call him ... he, right? Actually I thought this was an old short movie from the Walt Disney Studios ... and yet it was a comeback! They made a new short last year - not sure how that came about. Was there a surge, was there a demand? None that I was or am aware of.

And Oswald of course looks more like Mickey Mouse than a rabbit. But let's not get hung up on that. The short movie (just a minute) reels you in ... like it does with Oswald ... the moving pictures get him in. And it is love that conquers all .. that breaks down ... "barriers"? Not sure what you would call it ... definitely a weird short ... but still might bring some sentiment to old ... and maybe new fans!

Seeing Oswald come back was good!

After all this waiting, Mickey Mouse's brother Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is back! I've always enjoyed watching Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Mickey Mouse and Felix the Cat cartoons. And since Cuphead is a game similar to old cartoon characters like this, the Cuphead games are a blast! Oswald the Lucky Rabbit deserves more attention and support like Mickey Mouse. I really, really hope the Disney company will give Oswald the Lucky Rabbit more cameos. I hope Oswald the Lucky Rabbit will get a movie and series in the future. I'm honestly tired of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit being an unlucky rabbit in Mickey's shadow.

Incredible!

It makes me so happy to see him in action, it's been a few years since we heard from him "currently" since Epic Mickey (1, 2, Power of Illusion), Tsum Tsum and some cameos. I mean, look at him! There's still potential in him and it's really sad how Disney use him in such little media that he deserves his own animated series and to be recognized as one of Mickey Mouse's characters, after all he's his brother. I have faith that we will see more things about him, as a fan of him, of course. Dreaming costs nothing.

As for the short, it's simple and the plot at the beginning about Oswald paying for his OWN SHOW is silly, hilarious but funny and in a good way. This short is a nice tribute to the animation of those years, very traditional, the beautiful effort made by the animators of that time (I am not saying that it has not been difficult for them today but before it was 1927-1930s where technology did not exist or was somewhat irrelevant) and returning to those old roots makes the company look fresh and still they do not forget the traditional animation and that they are more than ready and able to create new stories with this technique yet.
