Disney’s long-lost Oswald set to return to the big screen after film from 1928 discovered in British Film Institute archive
By Sam Creighton
4 November 2015

Move over, Mickey Mouse – a long-lost Disney character is set to take centre stage.


A short film called Sleigh Bells, starring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit has not been screened since its release in 1928, with all prints thought to have been either lost or destroyed. But a copy has been found in the British Film Institute’s archives, and – 87 years after its debut – the six-minute silent film will get a second world premiere this Christmas.


Unearthed: Footage of an 87-year-old cartoon starring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, right, has been found in the British Film Institute's archives

The black and white short sees Oswald play a hockey champion who is distracted and flirts with a white bunny. The head of Walt Disney studios said he is ‘thrilled’ by the find, while the BFI’s head curator called the film a ‘joyful treat’. The character of Oswald is the first ever to be created by Walt Disney in 1927 and the floppy-eared precursor to Mickey Mouse was marked out by his cheeky and rebellious nature.
