Oswald the Lucky Rabbit (Universal, 1934). One Sheet (27  X 41 )
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit (Universal, 1934). One Sheet (27" X 41"). As Walt Disney's "Alice" series was wrapping up, Disney's new character, a rabbit named Oswald, was just starting to take off. The character became a major hit for Disney's producer Charles Mintz, and when Disney could no longer produce the cartoons due to financial cutbacks, Mintz took the character and Disney's staff away from Walt! This "hostile takeover" of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit led directly to the creation of Mickey Mouse, as Disney needed a new character to animate. Eventually, Universal would take over the Oswald series and this poster displays the best images of Oswald ever created. The last time one of these One Sheets came to auction was in 1999 when it sold for $4,140.00. Very Fine-. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
