I admit, I haven't seen any of his cartoons (I hope they release a Walt Disney Treasures DVD set of them), but if they re-establish his popularity, it might be fun to see him and pose for pictures with him. (Maybe he and Mickey could have an ongoing friendly rivalry.)

Originally Posted By kennect I just can't see Oswald in the parks...Come on, we don't even get Clarabelle or Horace here in the states....That statement might not be quite correct but still...But I would think that having control over the Oswald character is a good thing whether we ever see him again or not....

Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 ""more mischievous character in the early shorts." How so? I could describe him as curious (ex. Through the Looking Glass) or mishappen but never mischievous." Well, by "Through the Looking Glass", Mickey had lost some of that early barnyard behavior. If you watch some of the very early black & white shorts, you will see him doing things very un-Mickey. Pulling cat's tails, pulling a gun on someone, smoking, drinking, and other things. He was definitely a rascal early on.
