A cartoon featuring the first Disney character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, is to be screened for the first time in 87 years.
A restored print of Sleigh Bells (1928) will have its world premiere at the BFI in London in next month.
The BFI says the re-discovery of the “long-lost” six-minute film in its archive is a “joyful treat”.
Other Oswald films survive but Sleigh Bells has been unseen since its original release.
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was invented by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks for Universal in 1927 before they went on to create Mickey Mouse.
