Films mixing nostalgia with horror have been all the rage lately, and a recently announced film, Oswald Down the Rabbit Hole aims to continue this streak through animation. It is set to begin filming this spring.

Lilton Stewart III (Creator/Writer/Director) award-winning American filmmaker and creator of November 11th Pictures is working alongside Lucinda Bruce, well-established and prominent film producer to create the film. A teaser trailer will release this month.

Here is a synopsis of the film: “The film will follow main character, Art, and some of his closest friends to help track down his long-lost family lineage. When they find his Great-Grandpa Oswald’s abandoned home, they end up getting transported to a place lost in time, shrouded by dark Hollywood Magic. The group finds that they are not alone when Art’s Great-Grandpa’s come-to-life cartoon Rabbit, a dark entity, decides their lives belong to it. Art and his friends must work together to escape their magical prison before the Rabbit gets to them first.”

“I found my inspiration for Oswald’s rabbit from the cartoon ‘Oswald Trolley Troubles’ and saw it as an opportunity to take a horrific spin on a character that could spark some nostalgia among its audience,” Lilton Stewart III, Director said. “I was inspired by a few other films that dipped their toe into this new way of storytelling by having some of these characters turn to the dark side and am excited to debut my own adaptation of this.” 

Oswald Down the Rabbit Hole sounds really interesting and we’re looking forward to learning more about it! Be sure to follow along for updates.
