Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Universal's answer to Disney's Mickey—same rabbit, different legal hell. Oswald's theft by Disney in 1928 literally created Mickey Mouse out of spite.
Walter Lantz later created Woody Woodpecker, meaning this man shaped two completely different chaotic bird-adjacent legacies.
