I see real potential here, but I also can't help but think it's going to end up like that "Rescue Rangers" flagellation.

I agree. With some creative thought behind this it could be something very interesting, but I’m not holding my breath!

Interesting. I wonder if it'll include Ortensia. I'd only recently learned that Oswald had a female counterpart just like Mickey with Minnie and Donald with Daisy.

Here's what Jon Favreau said in the interview in its entirety.
Jon Favreau wrote:I'm working on a TV show for Disney+ called "Oswald" about a rabbit Walt Disney created before Mickey Mouse. He lost the rights to that character and so that character was left in the past. Disney has since gotten the rights back and I wanted to tell a story about him coming back into the world of Disney. That's going to be next year. It's being animated here in Spain at SPA, Sergio Pablos' studio. I came out here, I visited the animation studio. All 2D animation by artists. It's a beautiful story.

Favreau isn't someone I would have pegged for being like an educated Disney fan, but when I tally his work, including his contributions to Marvel and Star Wars, he's actually pretty active in the company. Even if I wasn't personally impressed by either of his Disney remakes, I'll tip my hat to him for pulling his load.

I wonder how much in common this series will have with "Coyote vs Acme"
