Dancing Oswald Logo

This charming Open Edition pin celebrates the legacy of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, the very first character created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks in 1927. Released on February 14, 2023, as part of the Disney100 celebration, this pin features a classic pose of the dancing Oswald, capturing the rubber-hose animation style that defined early Disney shorts. The pin was made available across Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World, making it a highly accessible piece for fans of the historic character. As part of the Disney100 - Oswald the Lucky Rabbit series, it pays homage to the studio's origin story before Mickey Mouse was even conceived. Collectors value this piece for its historical significance and the clean, iconic aesthetic of the design. The pin features a standard mickey-waffle backstamp, which is consistent with modern Disney Parks merchandise. Oswald has seen a massive resurgence in popularity over recent years, and this Open Edition release allows newer collectors to add a foundational piece of animation history to their collections. It serves as a perfect entry point for those interested in the evolution of Disney character design. The simple, elegant logo-style treatment of the dancing character makes it a versatile addition to any display board.
