The upcoming Disney+ series Oswald the Lucky Rabbit from Jon Favreau has added Amy Sedaris to the cast. Variety was the first to the news. Sedaris joins a cast that includes youngsters Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Mykal-Michelle Harris, and Ryder Allen. The exact plot details are unknown right now, but the show will be a live-action/animation hybrid. Sedaris is playing the mother of Allen’s character, Taylor.
Sedaris and Favreau are no strangers to one another. They’ve worked together on projects like Chef, The Lion King (2019), and The Mandalorian.
Cabot-Conyers will play Jake, a hardworking middle school student with a big heart. Harris will play Jen, an artistic middle schooler who is always ahead of the game. Allen will play Taylor, a middle school student who is cautious but avoids turning down his friends.
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit predates Mickey Mouse and he has an interesting history with Disney. Oswald was created in 1927 by Walt Disney and was in 27 animated shorts. However, Universal took control of the character in 1928 and Disney had to create a replacement mascot, so they did with Mickey Mouse.
