How is Mickey Mouse's brother a rabbit?
Oswald has only ever been referred to as Mickey's "half brother" in the Epic Mickey video game. This is because they share a common father in Walt Disney -- but Oswald was temporarily separated from the family when his other father, Charles Mintz, left the Walt Disney company and took Oswald with him. Mintz had nothing to do with Mickey's creation, which is why they are only "half" brothers.
