Oswald the lucky rabbit

​ Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was the first proyect in Walt Disney´s life. It was financed by Universal Studios in the 1920s.    '''  Disney chose to make the character a rabbit since there were so many animated cats  at the time such as Felix the cat. Universal was given the right to name the rabbit and it selected a name out of a hat. '''

'The first Oswald cartoon, Poor Papa'', was rejected by the Universal studio heads for its poor production quality and the sloppiness and age of Oswald. Disney, together with Iwerks, decided to create a second cartoon titled  Trolley Troubles   featuring a much younger, neater Oswald. The short, released on September 5, 1927,   officially launched the series and proved to be Disney's greatest success to date. '''

'''Oswald the Lucky Rabbit became Disney's first major hit in 1927, rivaling other popular cartoon characters, such as Felix the Cat and koko the clown. '''

On his long train ride home, he came up with an idea to create another character, and retain rights to it. He and Iwerks would go on to develop a new cartoon in secret, starring a new character which would soon become the most successful and popular cartoon character in film history and later become the foundation of a global entertainment empire.
