Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

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.

Trivia

Walter Lantz later created Woody Woodpecker, meaning this man shaped two completely different chaotic bird-adjacent legacies.
