'Oswald the Rabbit' footage reveals 1st Disney character

Before Mickey Mouse, there was his predecessor: Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. For the first time, we're seeing footage of the first Disney character.

The silent film in black and white dates back to 1928, when a young Walt Disney created Oswald. He didn't own the rights to the character- Universal did - and contract disputes led Disney to break away.

From there, he created Mickey Mouse along with his iconic Walt Disney Company, the parent company of ABC7.
