One of Walt Disney's earliest films has been discovered in Japan.

 

An anime historian had the cartoon for 70 years before he realised it was one of seven lost films.

 

The two-minute short features Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a precursor to Mickey Mouse.

 

Yasushi Watanabe, 84, bought the film from a toy wholesaler in Osaka when he was a teenager, paying only ¥500 (£3.45 at current exchange rates).
