After the Disney Company swapped a sports announcer to Universal to regain control of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit -- which Disney lost control of in 1929 to Charles Mintz, who promptly lost him to Universal -- there was a DVD release of the extant silent Oswalds, then silence. Now that silence has been continued with the first new Oswald cartoon since 1944, a silent, one-minute short director by Eric Goldberg. It's very good.
I've been a particular fan of Goldberg's work since his segment of FANTASIA 2000, using Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". He also did "The Carnival of Animals". He's a loving talent who deserves more attention from animation lovers.
