Amy Sedaris Joins Jon Favreau's Disney+ Series Centered on OSWALD THE LUCKY RABBIT — GeekTyrant
Jon Favreau's Oswald the Lucky Rabbit series for Disney+ is taking shape and now it's got some serious comedic energy behind it. Amy Sedaris has officially joined the cast, marking yet another collaboration between the offbeat comedy icon and the powerhouse filmmaker. Details about the show remain tightly under wraps, but we know it's a hybrid animation/live-action series focused on Oswald, Disney's original cartoon troublemaker who predates Mickey Mouse himself. Sedaris is reportedly playing the mother of Taylor, a character portrayed by Ryder Allen. She'll star alongside young talents Ravi Cabot-Conyers and Mykal-Michelle Harris. Sedaris and Favreau go way back. She had a memorable role in Favreau's indie hit Chef , and later lent her voice to a Guinea Fowl in the director's 2019 Lion King remake. More recently, she became a fan-favorite in the Star Wars universe playing the no-nonsense mechanic Peli Motto in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett . Outside of her work with Favreau, Sedaris has long carved out her own brilliant, bizarre corner of entertainment. She's the co-creator and star of the cult classic Strangers with Candy , voiced Princess Carolyn in BoJack Horseman , and fronted her Emmy-nominated series At Home with Amy Sedaris . Oh, and let's not forget she was in Elf , Jennifer's Body , and Puss in Boots . Favreau is writing, directing, and executive producing Oswald , with Walt Disney Studios behind production. It's a fitting project for Disney's legacy Oswald was originally created in 1927 by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks for Universal, only for Disney to lose control of the character a year later. That loss famously pushed Walt and Ub to create Mickey Mouse . The character returned to Disney in 2006, and as of 2023, Oswald's earliest appearances are officially in the public domain. With Favreau steering the ship and Sedaris now onboard, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit could end up being a weird, wonderful, and unexpectedly heartfelt ride. Source: Variety
