Near the end of the short, after the climax of the action, all of Mickey Mouse's friends go back into the movie playing on the screen, and Oswald peaks out at the audience from around the edge of the curtain on the right side.

Universal to Disney[]

The shorthand of understanding what happened with Oswald is that Walt Disney, at the time they were making the Oswald Shorts in 1927 and 1928, was just a man working on cartoons distributed by Universal Pictures. Walt Disney wanted more money, and Winkler Pictures wanted to pay less, so Walt Disney left Universal to start his own studio. Universal retained Oswald, which they owned, and had Walter Lantz take over the series. Walt Disney started producing Mickey Mouse cartoons instead.

In 2006 Universal traded Oswald to Disney in exchange for sportscaster Al Michaels. Since the trade, Oswald has only appeared in a few Disney projects.
