Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was Walt Disney’s first animated star, appearing on screen before even Mickey Mouse. After a long absence, Oswald is back home with his Disney family and has made his official debut at Disney Parks. Just in time for the spring celebrations at the Tokyo Disney Resort, Oswald has found his own place to meet fans and make some new ones. In the Cape Cod section of American Waterfront at Tokyo DisneySea, he’s playing the role of a farmer greeting friends at his cute little produce stand, stocked with fresh eggs and flowers for the season.
