HISTORICAL FACTS:	"Poor Pappa" was Oswald's first animated cartoon, but was not released until June 11, 1928, because he was presented as an unpleasant grumpy old rabbit which the studio didn't like. Walt then literally went back to the drawing board, and produced "Trolly Trouble" in which Oswald was made younger and more likable. After 26 cartoon shorts, Disney lost ownership of Oswald and the character was turned over to Walter Lantz for future production. Taking possession of Bad Pete Disney left for California and created Mickey Mouse as his new cornerstone character. Under Lantz, Oswald eventually married and had two sons, Lloyd & Floyd.
