  • Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in "Footless and Fancy Free!," a storyboard from the shelved Oswald the Lucky Rabbit television series.
    In 2014, an untimed storyboard for this episode was posted on CZcams by Chris Headrick. (Link Below). I retimed each frame and added music and light sound effects to create a more accessible view into this fascinating period in Oswald's animation history.
    Original video: • Oz
    Chris Headricks YT channel: / @chrisheadrick
    Sound Effects from ZapSplat.
    Music: "Monochrome Dreams" and "Old Friends, Old Rivals" from Kingdom Hearts II by Yoko Shimomura

    I will never understand Disney’s decision to not go through with this show. I was laughing and giggling the entire time, the visual gags were amazing and silly.
    This just goes to show that Disney needs to take a chance on things and they shouldn’t just keep doing what is trendy or profitable for them.
    This really could’ve been something.

    i love this so much, i love Oswald’s Yakko Warner vibes with his facial expressions and demeanor, i also LOVE that they gave him a turtle friend for the ol’ tortoise ’n’ hare turtle and rabbit thing.
    i really love Cliff’s design, also i think it’s good to add a few new characters like Cliff, like if Oswald just moved to Hollywood then he could’ve just met Cliff there, but also included some older friends like Toby the Bear and Homer the Cat, maybe also the Mechanical Cow, (there’s also this long faced dog from one of his shorts called All Wet, i’m kinda obsessed with his character design too i would hope they repurpose him, (they added him as a “crew member” in the racing game Disney Speed Storm and called him Hot Dog)) just so much potential 🥲

    This reminds me of the Cuphead show. It would be great if Oswald has a show like that too. My rabbit Boi deserved it.

    • @michaelwilliamybarra2409
      @michaelwilliamybarra2409 Před 5 měsíci +5

      I'd imagine this show would've have a smilier generalized feel of the Cuphead show, while borrowing elements(particularly the character designs) from the Paul Ruben Mickey Mouse series.
      It also looks like it will either balance, or even be purely, be a silent cartoon series.
      If the former, then there might've even been a possibility for them to bring Frank Welker back to reprise his voice over from the Epic Mickey games.
      If the latter, then we may or may not have also gotten the similar kind of off the wall ren and stimpy-inspired shock humor both aforementioned shows would indulge in time to time, if not a more personal and character driven narrative like the Ducktales reboot.

  • @littlemonsteranimates4939

    Anyone else got Runaway Brain vibes from this? Cause the premise seems pretty close where the main character loses a vital part that runs around haywire through town and a baddie wants it for their own nefarious purposes.
    Except this one has more antics and is a little more lighthearted than the latter.
    Other than that GOD I hope Disney brings this back, I mean the idea of this show is so freaking cool!

    My ideal Oswald series is a series of silent cartoons paying homage to his roots and other cartoons of the 20s and 30s. They could even do some special season or even series finale where they make Steamboat Oswald a real thing! Steamboat Ozzie! That'd be so cool! All that said this animatic is still really cool, and it's both very fascinating and very sad this never happened. Oswald deserves more recognition.

It was genuinely entertaining and had me laughing a few times, I don't understand the reasoning behind throwing this concept away other than disney just not wanting to take any chances for things they don't think are profitable enough... seeing as what happened to epic mickey. This poor rabbit just can't catch a fucking break

      One thing that Matt Danner tweeted out that I neglected to include in the video's afternotes is that storyboards are drawn by a storyboard artist with their own style, as opposed to an animator with a style-guide. Long way of saying "this is a rough draft, not the finished product."
