Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Walt Disney's earliest star, paved the way for Mickey Mouse. But what happened to Oswald? Based on the contract with Charles Mintz and Universal, Disney lost the rights to Oswald in 1928 after a series of successful animated shorts. When Disney decided to bring Oswald back into the company in 2003, there were many of the shorts lost to time. So, Disney acquired the rights and began to find the animated shorts. In 2007, when the Walt Disney Treasures - The Adventures of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was released on DVD, only 13 of the Oswald shorts were available and a few had been reconstructed to the best of the producers' knowledge. It was assumed the the other 13 shorts were lost forever. In 2011, David Bossert (animator, filmmaker and author) ran across an auction for the Oswald short, Hungry Hobos; he convinced the Disney Company to pursue the film to restore and add to its library. Thus began the genesis of the book: Oswald the Lucky Rabbit: The Search for the Lost Disney Cartoons. Working with animation historian and archival editor David Gerstein, Bossert traces the journey that spanned the globe to hunt down and acquire as many Oswald films as possible. The first four chapters of the book detail the history of Oswald and the company. They quickly go into the re-aquiring, restoration, preservation and music of the shorts. The majority of the book (also known as chapter five) examines every Oswald the Lucky Rabbit animated short produced by Walt Disney. In wonderfully exhaustive detail. Each cartoon has several pages dedicated to it. Bossert discusses how the short was found (if it was lost) and who did most of the work (usually Ub Iwerks) and the public reception. Then, Bossert does a complete breakdown of the film in narrative form. This is quite charming to see the changes over time in the Oswald shorts, as well as the breakthroughs in story-telling. Included are production sketches, poster concepts and stills from the restored prints.
