Overview
- Jon Favreau revealed at D23 on Saturday that the project will be a three-episode miniseries arriving on Disney+ in February 2027.
- The series mixes live action with traditional 2D animation so Oswald appears as a drawn character interacting inside real-world locations.
- Favreau named veteran animator Sergio Pablos as the head of animation and announced composer John Debney is attached to the score.
- The show features Kathryn Hahn, Ravi Cabot-Conyers and Steve Martin, and production included a reported three-week shoot at Disneyland with a D23 preview showing Oswald in Walt Disney’s Burbank office.
- Oswald was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks in 1927 and returned to Disney in 2006 after a rights deal brokered by then-CEO Bob Iger, a history that frames the series as part of Disney’s broader effort to reuse legacy characters.
