While some may still think that Mickey Mouse is the first character Disney created, it was actually Oswald the Lucky Rabbit that Walt drew while working under contract for Universal Pictures. When Walt left Universal, he was not able to keep the rights to Oswald which ultimately led to the creation of Mickey Mouse. If it wasn’t for Universal, the face of Disney may have been a rabbit.
