Lost Disney Rabbit Back After 80 Years

For eight decades, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit hasn't been so lucky: The early Disney character has long been relegated to cartoon history. Now, he's finally making a return appearance, starring alongside his world-famous big-eared buddy Mickey in a video game, reports Wired. Disney Epic Mickey: The Power of Two features the two characters working as a team to defend the world of Wasteland, full of lost Disney characters and places.

Oswald, once a silent character, is even getting a voice for the first time in what designer Warren Spector calls "the first musical comedy game ever." Oswald also popped up several months back in a rediscovered 1928 cartoon found in a British movie archive; Disney bought the film for more than $31,000. Hardly anyone outside the company has seen it yet, but it's due for a public showing this month. (More Disney stories.)
