==Personality==
In early cartoons, Oswald was very similar to the early incarnations of Mickey Mouse, that being the mischievous but well-intentioned character made popular among cartoons in the 1920s. He was quite energetic, inventive, adventurous and almost always caused trouble, but found his way out through cunning and wit. Oswald relished playing with and making others laugh, but despite his flaws, he has morals and always tries to do the right thing.
In his current revival (specifically in the Epic Mickey series), he is a direct foil of Mickey. While the latter is kind, affable, warm-hearted and a joker, the former is rather portrayed as more aggressive, serious, and short-tempered, though he does have a sense of fun and humor. He is also introduced as being rough and bitter around anyone he doesn't trust or shows disdain. Ironically, despite having the moniker "lucky," Oswald is prone to misfortune as much as good luck, as he usually lands into adverse situations that require the luck and chance to resolve them.
Aside from the Epic Mickey games, Oswald has also been shown harboring a strong jealousy towards his "replacement" for effectively stealing his life. Oswald appeared to have a strong attachment to Walt to the point that he had a replica of his statue built in Wasteland, viewing him as a fatherly figure. Unfortunately, Walt's apparent favor towards Mickey would contribute further to Oswald's resentment. Being forgotten for over 80 years made him very pessimistic (and quite dour) about his life, mainly due to how no one remembers him. 
However, he is empathic towards others who suffer fates similar to his. Beneath his harsh and cold exterior, however, lies a tragic and miserable character who just wants to be loved again by the hearts of millions. His time with Mickey helped him realize how Mickey cares about him despite their differences and the glory Mickey unintentionally stole from him for so long, allowing Oswald to overcome his pain and hatred and accept Mickey since it is what Walt would have wanted; being warm-hearted and less violent towards Mickey and everyone around him. It also makes him realize that it's not how many people that love him, but it's the people themselves.
His love for Ortensia is just as strong as Mickey's love for Minnie.
==Trivia==
*Despite Oswald's origins being a hand drawn black and white character for Universal Studios, Oswald's first appearance for cinema within the ownership of Walt Disney Motion Pictures is in a CG format (Get A Horse!).
*Oswald, Goofy and Pete are three of the very few characters from the Classic Disney Shorts to have a biological child instead of a traditional niece or nephew. Goofy has Max, Pete has P.J. & Pistol and Oswald has the Bunny Children.
*In the Bonkers comics, there is a character named Nimrod the Rabbit, a comedian and keeper of the Toonstone, who is very similar to Oswald.
