Walt Disney produced 27 cartoons during 1927–1928, 25 cartoons were produced after Walt Disney's departure during the Winkler years (1928–1929), and 142 cartoons were produced by Walter Lantz during 1929–1943, making 194 cartoons in total.
First cartoon produced in series (in 1927), initially rejected but released a year later.[1] Animated by Ub Iwerks and the entire Disney Oswald staff. Disney was unable to access a print of Poor Papa in time for the 2007 DVD,[2] but today owns a 16mm print of the short, and released it on the "Signature Edition" Blu-Ray of Pinocchio in 2017.
Cartoon reissued by Walter Lantz. A few sequences went missing and others were reordered when the cartoon was reissued. Animated by Ub Iwerks and the entire Disney Oswald staff.

A drawing made by the animators attributed to this short shows Oswald playing a radiator like an accordion. This idea never made it to the final cartoon.
In 1984, Fred Ladd and Entercolor Technologies Corp. colorized this cartoon as a test for Universal. The studio rejected this and all future plans for colorizing black and white Lantz cartoons.[16]
The final appearance of Oswald in his original design, the first appearance of Meany, Miny and Moe (who were supporting characters). their popularity led to their development into a series of their own for Universal.
Case of the Lost Sheep
The first cartoon to feature the white Oswald, a concept by Manuel Moreno. Despite retaining the name, this later version of Oswald looks like a completely different character.
Doctor Oswald
From this point onward, the character is referred to as "Oswald Rabbit" instead of "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit" in the title cards.
This title is a play on The Nutcracker Suite, composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Though Oswald's screen career concludes in this cartoon, he would have a long run in comic books and a cameo in Well Oiled and The Woody Woodpecker Polka. This was one of the few Oswald cartoons produced in color. Emery Hawkins' first onscreen credit at Walter Lantz Productions, and the only Lantz short directed by Ben Hardaway and Hawkins.
Disney animated series. Oswald appears as a marketing billboard for a soda product as "Oswald the Lucky Soda". This marks Oswald's fourth cameo in television.
