UNIQUE was created to keep oso under control. They wiped his memory, hence why he keeps motor skills like driving, but loses basic world knowledge, and keep him constantly under the influence of drugs to supress his power. Helping children was the only thing UNIQUE could think of when it comes to reforming this eldritch horror into a tame being. Oso is a danger to the world, and the world still hasn't recovered from the last time. The doll incident. Why do you think humans are all felt and porcelain dolls? How could stuffed animals possibly be alive? It's all his fault.

Special Agent Oso is an autistic king, and there's proof. He knows how to do complex maneuvers which he hyperfocuses on, making him block everything else out. Not only that, but he also forgets simple tasks, even ones that may seem like he knew before. When you're hyperfocusing on a task, everything else is easy to forget. When I watched this show probably too old, but waiting for school in my room, I'd watch this show and relate to Oso on a spiritual level for being an "adult?" who needs adult help with simple tasks. Btw this edible ain't shit.

IF I am correct though My Little Pony said it was because she discovered a new type of Magic.

yup! anything REMOTELY Jewish on tv as a kid and even now just makes me so giddy because it's so rare and when it is done it's usually done badly. I just wish they would do something related to Judaism that wasn't just Hanukkah being "Jewish Christmas" every once in a while.

I used to watch this show as a child, but never did I realize how nasty the quality was. Oso looks kind of cursed, now that I think about it.

[@fatimahanwaar306]

this show is also another example of "separate the art from the artist" due to Phil Lewis voicing Wolfie

[@mr.blueskies7223]

16:07 My personal theory is either 1. It was meant to be some sample animation for the "stalking training exersice" 2. The Wolfy and Dotty staring at Oso could just be their robot selfs or.... 3. The storyboard artists and animators were probably stoned when animating this episode (I think this one is the least likely of the 3 theories but I just thought this one was worth sharing).

two theories after watching this: 1: oso is a creation of unuquie, he was programed on the basics of how to operate as an agent, so he was born knowing how to drive and living in the agency. my guess he's the first of his kind or something went wrong with his programing and that's why he messes it. that and or they are purposefully setting him up to fail his training so that he's dependant on the medals for validation and loyal to the agency. 2 and this one is a bit wild : oso takes place in the pixar universe after the humans have left but before the entire car take over. the pixar theory is very complicated but the idea is that toys and humans gain sentience and sapiance and basically take on the memories of their past owner. it makes a lot of sense if the characters (except the vehicles and paw pilot) are toys that have come to life after the humans left, the "humans" are dolls that are acting out the memories of their humans, while the agents are acting as a mix of their humans and what their humans imagined them as: aka they're reliving playtime. the vehicles are just cars from the pixar theory. the one thing this doesn't explain is the baby pictures of the train

[@rowan404]

I used to love this show when I was a kid. Whenever I had trouble with something, my dad would pretend to be Oso and teach me the "3 special steps". This was how I learned how to use a yo-yo and how to pour juice into a glass without making a mess. Also, I don't remember for sure, but I think the Oso/Manny crossover was my first crossover as well. I remember getting super hyped for it as they played promos on Disney Jr. even though I didn't watch Handy Manny. Anyways, I was heartbroken when the show ended and came up with various spin-off ideas while processing my grief for the show, which featured Dottie, Wolfie, and my OC, Osita, who was Oso's little sister. I even had a somewhat Oso-related dream. You see, I had a lot of school trauma when I was in elementary school, so one night, I dreamt that my teacher had made a new rule that involved a 3-strike system. This was an actual thing at my school; if we got 3 "warnings" by the end of the week, we wouldn't get to go to the treasure box, and I hardly ever got to go. However, in the dream, it was revealed that there were guns in our desks and, if we got 3 warnings, we would be shot. I got 1 warning on Monday morning for calling out, so I began to fear for my life, but then, a short while later, my mom came to my rescue, and _she was in Whirly Bird._ Anyways, it's cool to find someone else who ships Dottie with Wolfie! I didn't even know what shipping was back when I watched the show, but I always saw them as Oso's adoptive parents. Also, it didn't occur to me until watching this video that the watch was a communication device; I thought that Dos _was_ the watch, like a less advanced Paw Pilot; so the reveal didn't surprise me.

Legit every time I watched this show as a kid, I always questioned why neither Dottie or Wolfy NEVER scolded Oso for being absolutely incompetent and failing every training mission he has at the beginning of each episode.

Or the multiple railway operations that they blatantly ignore on a daily basis. Or how there's a constant race war against alternative fuel sources. Or how a large number of steam engines around the world have been killed off in some sort of human caused genocide. Or how the controller of the railway, Sir Tophham Hatt, regularly steals property from other railways. Or how we see multiple engines die on screen.
