Judy Wilkins-SmithGUEST
It didn't.
Judy Wilkins-SmithGUEST
It began with Lucky Oswald the rabbit, which you see now hearing you know.
Judy Wilkins-SmithGUEST
And he almost had a nervous breakdown because they poached Lucky Oswald and took him away.
Judy Wilkins-SmithGUEST
And on the way back, I think he was sitting on a train and he was doodling, and out came this mouse and he said to his wife, Look at this funny little mouse.
Judy Wilkins-SmithGUEST
His name's Mortimer.
Greg LynchCORRESPONDENT
In particular, what has happened to the many household names he created and, uh, and their impact on the world of entertainment, uh, especially, uh, here in Melbourne.
Greg LynchCORRESPONDENT
1928, that's where we start, and that was after he lost the rights to his early character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
Greg LynchCORRESPONDENT
And, uh, he was very, very upset about that.
Greg LynchCORRESPONDENT
It was a copyright problem, and Disney introduced Mickey Mouse on the rebound in, uh, uh, a cartoon called Steamboat Willie in, well, as I said, 1928.
Bee LimGUEST
And the way that he has learned to respond.
Bee LimGUEST
look after himself and also being able to sit with his vulnerability actually is by taking care of his rabbit Oswald.
Bee LimGUEST
So when we talk about it and we talk about his rabbit Oswald, I already knew that rabbit is going to be the character and
Melanie OliveiroHOST
Welcome Home is a tribute to Oswald.
Melanie OliveiroHOST
Yeah.
Melanie OliveiroHOST
And Oswald, I mean, is the rabbit looking prototype before Mickey Mouse was created.
Melanie OliveiroHOST
So maybe that's why he named the rabbit Oswald.
Melanie OliveiroHOST
B, you wrote that complete healing and recovery is not 100% possible.
John LewisGUEST
It was easy, relatively speaking, to get out of.
John LewisGUEST
It's going to be impossible for Joe Buck to get out of this contract unless, you know, unless someone wants to trade ESPN back Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, right? Because that was the circumstance of Al.
John LewisGUEST
Al had signed an eight-year deal to do Monday Night Football for the length of ESPN's contract.
John LewisGUEST
And so in order to get out of a contract like that, you can't just sell someone a single Big Ten football game like Fox got for Joe Buck.
Eric HerseyHOST
... like the success of something like that, of an old character and stuff like that, could give a little bit of a bump or resurgence to something like Felix, do you think?
Jim HillHOST
Uh, y- yeah, what Eric is referring to, f- folks, is, is that Jon Favreau project starring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, of course.
Jim HillHOST
You know, Walt Disney's first breakthrough animated character.
Jim HillHOST
And I, for me, I, I can't help but connect the dots, because that's gonna be showing up on Disney Plus.
Jim HillHOST
You know? Uh, and I, you know, again, uh, I c- that said, I would still...
Jim HillHOST
The, the, if you Google Felix the Cat walk-around character Universal Japan, oh g- folks, it's a really cute outfit.
Jim HillHOST
I, I would argue it's cuter than the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit walk-around character-
Eric HerseyHOST
Mm-hmm
MikeHOST
timeless river sequel.
MikeHOST
So some people did some digging, and apparently the title of the trophy or achievement is a catchphrase from Oswald the Rabbit.
MikeHOST
Hmm.
MikeHOST
The original Mickey Mouse, the proto-Mickey Mouse, if you will.
NoahHOST
One other thing they were showing is...
NoahHOST
Apparently there might be an Oswald the Lucky Rabbit world.
NoahHOST
Which, if that's true, that's really cool.
NoahHOST
Because, you know, that was Walt Disney's first creation.
Eric HerseyHOST
And maybe the success of something like that, of an old character and stuff like that, could give a little bit of a bump or resurgence to something like Felix, do you think?
Jim HillHOST
Yeah, what Eric is referring to, folks, is that Jon Favreau project starring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, of course, Walt Disney's first breakthrough animated character.
Jim HillHOST
And for me, I can't help but connect the dots because that's going to be showing up on Disney+, and obviously the Disney company will be pushing out this classic black and white character during the same time, and Perhaps someone at Universal on the marketing side is, you know, sort of looking over the fence at what Disney is up to.
Jim HillHOST
And it's like, oh, so they're going to have their lucky rabbit.
Jim HillHOST
Let's get our magical cat in here, you know.
Jim HillHOST
And, you know, again— That said, if you Google Felix the Cat walk-around character Universal Japan, folks, it's a really cute outfit.
Jim HillHOST
I would argue it's cuter than the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit walk-around character that you see at the Disney parks these days.
Jim HillHOST
So, yeah, bring it.
Tim GettysHOST
I, I feel like the concept of it is, is cooler and better than the actual game.
Tim GettysHOST
Some fun story stuff, uh, with Oswald the Rabbit.
Mike HowardHOST
Okay.
Tim GettysHOST
Um, and like just a, a dark take on a Disney world is something that I'm always gonna be into.
KateHOST
Yeah, maybe there was just scenes that she just didn't have to film.
JakeHOST
Who knows? Oh, there is one other thing we should get excited for, the technically kind of original, is that there's going to be an Oswald the Lucky Rabbit show.
JakeHOST
Yes!
KateHOST
Yeah, I'm excited.
KateHOST
Yeah, it's exciting.
KateHOST
I've been a big Oswald fan for like a long time, so I'm excited for that.
KateHOST
We all know I have an Oswald the Lucky Rabbit shirt that I'm obsessed with that I got in Tokyo that I should probably try to find a new one because it is getting very old, but I am obsessed with it because I love him.
JakeHOST
Well, maybe if the show does really good, there'll be new Oswald merch on shelves in the States.
