It all started with... a rabbit?

A group of animators pitch The Unlucky Rabbit, a documentary exploring Walt Disney’s earliest creation, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Through storyboards, they retrace the 1920s from Disney’s arrival in California, to his collaboration with Ub Iwerks for the character Oswald at Universal Pictures.
