These are posters from the Oswald the Rabbit cartoons. As you may know, Walter Lantz's company inherited the character when Walt Disney, who started the Oswald series, lost the rights to the character in a dispute with his distributor. What you may not know is that after Walt and before Walter, another studio produced more than two dozen cartoons of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. It was the Mintz Studio, composed largely of Disney artists who'd been hired away behind Walt's back. How were the cartoons they made? I don't know. I've never seen one…and neither have a lot of animation buffs. But I have seen a terrific new wing of Jerry Beck's website that documents what is known about this "lost" body of work. This is another one of those Internet projects that make you say, "Boy, I'm glad somebody did this." And who knows? One of these days, I may even get to see one of these cartoons.
