With John Favreau's name attached to any project, the anticipation is always palpable. The upcoming Oswald the Lucky Rabbit Disney+ series is no exception, especially with the recent casting announcement for the lead actors: Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Mykal-Michelle Harris, and Ryder Allen.
This series is a passion project for Disney CEO Bob Iger, who acquired the trademark in 2006. The character, which entered the public domain in 2023, holds a special place in Disney's history. Oswald, first created in 1927 by Walt Disney, was utilized in 27 animated shorts. However, in 1928, Universal gained control of the character, paving the way for Walt Disney to create the iconic Mickey Mouse.
