This is one of those stories that shows that just because you know how to be a "business man" doesn't mean you're creative or know what to do with your properties. Walt started creative and knew what to do with his characters but he learned how to be a business man because of this story. And he made damn sure this type of thing would never happen to him again.

I remember over a decade ago, before Epic Mickey, where I had dream about a Mickey Mouse-like rabbit. Few months later, I went to ask my sister (who was working at the Disney parks at the time) who that character was and did he ever exist; but she didn't know. Fast forward to Epic Mickey's release, as I was walking past a Gamestop, I noticed they had cover boxes advertising the game. Upon looking closer, I was in absolute shock because the same rabbit I saw in my dream was on the cover and turned out he was real. Immediately, I got the game and that's how he became my favorite Disney character.

[@PrincessAshly]

Yeah, let's not utilize this character enough which has potential, and then wonder why it didn't take off. Can only hope they give oswald another chance and make it a REAL chance this time.

[@RubberyCat]

Part of the problem is probably that they don't quite know what to do with the Oswald, as he is too much like Mickey. There is essentially no place for a second such character, especially since Mickey can already fill any role required, and already have several different versions that is still Mickey. What they need to do, is focus on the differences, however small they are. They're perfect for cooperation (Mario Bros, Luigi used to be a copy of Mario). They're perfect for friendly rivalry (Street Fighter, Ken was originally a second Ryu in fighting abilities). There is also the "We're the same, but not" (Morrigan & Lilith comes to mind, among others). I know my examples are from computer games, but it is possible to find similar situations in other fiction, especially in crossovers, but... thinking of it, has Mickey EVER had any rival, friendly or not? Also, now when Mickey is big, and it may seem impossible to do certain things with him ... why not use Oswald?

[@paintingkitsune]

@@RubberyCat Mickey does have a rival---his name is Mortimer. I don't know how much he shows up nowadays, though. Pete would also sometimes fill that role.

[@RubberyCat]

@@paintingkitsune Oh, the rat dude. I had forgotten about him. Hm, yes, he don't show up often, either. .... As they do not seem fond of using Mortimer as a rival for Mickey much ... they could make use of Oswald vs Mortimer, and ... yes... I think that would work well.

[@ianhall3795]

[@LaptopLarry330]

Mortimer Mouse is Mickey Mouse's rival, although he has not been used by Walt Disney Productions for many years. Pete The Wolf/Cat/Bear is just too good of a villain, so Mortimer Mouse is not really needed.

[@Nasir3623]

In defence of the animators, they didn't betray Walt, they left due to Walt Disney studio(disney brothers studio at the time) financial struggle which made them unable to repay their animators, oh and Fun fact, Walt didn't have any grudge against any of the animators or Charles mint, he forgave them and considered bygones as bygones.

Yep! This is exactly why when WB started with cartoons, many characters they started with had similar looks. From Bosko's Looney Tunes to Foxy and Piggy in the Merrie Melodies, they all seemed to emulate the look that Oswald and Mickey had...with good reason. It's not so much ripping off a style when you think about it, more like learning the style from working under a previous teacher.

[@MadHatter42]

Oswald would be great if they brought him back with a stronger personality. I'm thinking something like Milo Murphy from Milo Murphy's Law. He is a lucky rabbit after all, but they could play with it being both good and bad luck; seeing him getting into catastrophic messes but always getting out just in time while remaining "Peppy, alert, saucy, venturesome, neat, and trim."

[@Kahtisemo]

Bizarrely enough, I think from a business standpoint the best way to get Oswald back in the picture would be to make him a recurring character in the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Roadster Racer shows since those are pretty popular with little kids and would have him familiarized as part of the group so that growing up they might never realize he wasn't always there. That age group is also one of the biggest fans for the classic Disney gang.

I reconized him from clips of the older cartoons, and even though he has a mod, the mod might have been an attempt to help out other people come back to the older cartoons of him, possibly increasing is popularity.

I mean, I think it’s difficult to imagine Oswald gaining popularity when he isn’t used for anything but easter eggs and regionally-dictated shorts. Mickey Mouse is a legacy character who is only in a limited number of modern appearances, so if Disney was to attempt to put Oswald up in a similar rank to the Disney Trifecta (Mickey Donald Goofy), then they’d need to release substantial work starring him. It seems as though his acquisition was more for the two video games, as any potential interest in the character would’ve required a greater investment and perhaps endanger overshadowing Mickey. For now, he feels more like a progenitor than an equal-the one that came first but was surpassed in every way. His value is almost entirely sentimental for the company.

[@aminishnamedvaati]

THERE HE IS! THE GOOD BOY! Thank you for making a video about him. Even though I already know alot about him, I love watching videos about him.

[@laurababyyy1]

One thing that is not explained is that Walt Disney was notorious by his Oswald staff for being an awful person to work with. Walt,whilst retiring from animating,had a high opinion of animation, and as a result had a strained relationship with his staff,some of which included Friz Freling and Hugh Harman. Hence it’s not surprising that many of these animators were happy to be away from Walt Disney.

Actually Epic Mickey wasn't a joint venture between Universal and Disney. Universal completely gave up the rights to Use Oswald in 2006 for Al Michaels with Epic Mickey being made by Disney's Junction Point. Universal has even had to erase all references to Oswald in their parks worldwide. Disney currently owns Oswald himself, All Disney made Oswald films, the characters under his Disney IP (Ortensia, Toby Bear the bunny children, etc.) and the right to use him as well. However what some employees have said is that they don't know what to do with Oswald's character which was a problem that they had with Epic Mickey as well where Oswald's character was changed several times.

Then in the first book I read about Walt Disney it was explained that Oswald was taken from Disney by Charles Mintz and eventually ended up with Walter Lantz.

Imagine if Oswald got the modern Disney character design treatment. That might help improve his chances of appearing in more shorts.

[@heatherstewart9994]

Oswald didn’t deserve this, I’ve known about him for a while because of the Epic Mickey games and I always loved him. I hope that he has more stuff to come

[@Disney_dude]

I wish theyre was a movie and oswald burts into mickeys house and tells hom everything and then they have some brother bonding time

[@skysmindgarden]

Dang, I've seen pictures of Walt before, but the ones you used.. he's pretty dang cute.

[@kameronbiggs5495]

The ending is bittersweet since Oswald is still pretty obscure at Disney, but at the very least Oswald is back home where he belonged. Wonderful episode!

[@bloodmoon0205]

I would love to see Oswald in the next Kingdom Hearts game; either as a summon or as a party member

[@MatthewPrower]

...wonder if we should bring up the brief period in the 2000's where oswald was loved in japan and also became blue

[@idkgotkindabored]

“It’s hard to believe his popularity will skyrocket again” FNF vs Oswald: Hello

[@snorlaxcrossing95]

If they have Oswald just in cameos (and Epic Mickey was like 9 years ago), how were they hoping his popularity would skyrocket? I hope they would use him more in the future, he’s really spunky and it’s sad to see his character just fade away again:/

[@patax144]

and he is back, they released a new animated short of him today

[@senoritapancake]

If Disney make a series of him I really wish all the Universal universe never take it bc Fanny as his sister is weird it would be interesting introduce her as she always be as his ex and really hope they took Ortensia's family too c'mon Walt's universe of Oswald is pretty amazing and having this character back is really depressing no one cares about him. It's been like 1 or 2? Since the last D23 and Bob said "More Oswald content" but WHEN?! That's my question every day since the last time he has protagonist in Epic Mickey 2.

[@elijahwatson3474]

There a rumor he going have a series for Disney plus.

[@senoritapancake]

The rumors? Oh yeah I heard about that series since 7 years ago, they still saying the same "we are planning a series but soon...nothing confirmed".

[@Love99910]

This video is to good to exist

[@MarshtompGames]

The FNF community: Fine. I'll do it myself.

[@double-aa-entertainment]

I would Love to see a Oswald and Horace Horsecollar team up, mainly due to both of them being overshadowed by mickey's more popular characters

[@saoirsemurray1310]

That moment when you realize that the young Walt Disney was hot AF...

[@bonnatheverycutedog2008]

*LOL*

[@burnheals]

i love Oswald a ton and I read that he's getting a Disney+ series next year! Apparently someone who used to work fr Nick has added a new series for Oswald to his resume. I hope it comes to fruition. I would be so wonderful to see him shine again.

[@pirate_cove_man]

I honestly think Oswald could've turned out arguably better than Mickey if Walt didn't lose him

[@cuterblueloveuwulilathepig3556]

Well walt lose Oswald so l think Oswald could be a mascot for DreamWorks or others in my opinon Because DreamWorks got my support than disney cuz it's 2023 and Disney get nothing for Oswald, Disney is get in the woke things like lgbt and others.

[@kirbynat493]

17:45 I'm sorry, does Mickey pull him out of *a pile of trash??* I CAN'T BREATHE LOL

[@clover266]

sunnyraven why would you pull an innocent rabbit out of his home

[@DWithDiagonalStroke]

Well... Mickey weren't you Oswald's friend?

[@clover266]

Rodrigo Santos Sure...

[@DWithDiagonalStroke]

@@clover266 what a lucky rabbit to have a friend like you...

[@kaitlynwhalen5961]

@mickey mouse I'm older than you and Oswald and felix I was created in July 18 1911 which was 109 year's ago I'm more popular than the rest of you.

[@EMORW]

Oswald is my favorite because Disney got him back in 2006 and that is when I was born.

[@ariannagorbet6674]

Orwell I’m 17 years old, born in 2003

[@robloxking2578]

We NEED Epic Mickey to be a trilogy. WHO'S WITH ME?!

[@comatoseart]

I'm with you

[@clover266]

The game stars me so I agree

[@selmifoufou2713]

Same here

[@VioletNKisHere]

For a Rabbit with the name “Lucky” in his cartoon series, he sure is unlucky.

[@milkandcookiesgacha5448]

Well he is lucky to be brought back to Disney 😀

[@kristinnpalsson2643]

I've been in love with this character and his design since I discovered his existence just in the past year. This video is great, and I have watched it twice. I'm sad that Disney have not really tried hard enough to bring him back to live. I would like to see him as a star of his own short series in his own universe where he is not shadowed by Disney's more popular characters. I would like them to use the brilliant art style of the new modern short cartoons. I want to get to know his personality and hope he is still the slapstick jokester of the 20's doing Tom & Jerry like pranks.

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

Thank you! Definitely agree with you there.

[@BugsyFoga]

It wasn't until Epic Mickey until i found about Oswald's existing

[@knines6279]

I love Oswald so much. He’s gotta be my favorite Disney character

[@powerpup97]

I simply can’t rank the movies in this era! They are all masterpieces in their own right!

[@Robbity]

I really want Oswald to show up in the Paul Rudish cartoons. Or literally anything. I’m honestly really sick of Oswald being limited to a few seconds long cameo like Get a Horse or being barely shown on a train in Zootopia.

[@sabrinalibby3435]

He is in the short canned

[@Robbity]

@@sabrinalibby3435 for three seconds lol

[@alffiex7993]

FNF: oh boy your gonna get a surprise

[@enderb0y08]

I really hope we get to see more of Oswald, he’s one of my favorite characters
