Before there was Mickey, there was Oswald. In the mid-Twenties, Walt Disney made a series of silent cartoons featuring the character Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. The character was one of Walts first successes, popular with movie audiences and the first Disney character to generate merchandise, but he was also was the cause of Walts harshest lessons in the ways of Hollywood. Walts bad luck with the lucky rabbit also served as a catalyst for the creation of his most famous character.
