Jon Favreau Gives First Look at "Oswald" During D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event

The new mini-series is slated for Disney+ next February

Director Jon Favreau has taken the stage during the entertainment showcase at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event to give us all a quick glimpse of the upcoming mini-series, Oswald.

What's Happening:

  • Director Jon Favreau has taken the stage at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event - not to talk about anything Star Wars or Marvel, but rather the highly-anticipated (in some circles, anyway) new miniseries, Oswald.
  • While on stage, Favreau shared that Oswald will be a three-part miniseries, commenting that Oswald "is a character not many people know, but I have a feeling a lot of people in this room are familiar with him."

  • Additionally, Favreau revealed that the series only uses hand-drawn animation before showcasing a first look at the character in Walt Disney's office.

  • While the image above might not look hand-drawn per se, we point to other hand-drawn projects like Netflix's Klaus which is animated traditionally, but shaded in such a way to look three-dimensional.
  • Additionally, we learned that John Debney will be scoring the new series.

  • Everyone in attendance at the Entertainment Showcase during D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event also got a pack of card that also promises an Augmented Reality experience.
  • Oswald, the three-part miniseries, is set to release on Disney+ in February of 2027.

  • News of the series originally broke nearly a year ago, and since then we’ve seen production taking place at Disneyland Park, as well as additional casting news, more of which can be seen at our Oswald landing page.
