Oswald the Lucky Rabbit
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was an animated cartoon character staring in a series of cartoon motion pictures of 1920s and 1930s (and making occasional reapperances as a character in other cartoons as late as 1951).
Oswald was first introduced in a 1927 cartoon called "Trolley Troubles", written and drawn by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks for Charles Mintz[?] of Universal Studios. The series was successful, but when Disney and Iwerks asked for a higher budget, Mintz fired them and hired Walter Lantz to produce new cartoons using the character. Disney and Iwerks went on to found the Disney Studios and create a new character originally similar to their version of Oswald, called Mickey Mouse.
