Soundtrack Available on Itunes I DO NOT OWN ANY MATERIAL FROM DISNEY OR EPIC MICKEY!!! NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS INTENDED!!! THIS IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY!!! Poor Oswald :'(
I get the story behind his song. The begining-Oswald is created the upbeat part-oswald becomes famous the "dark" part-disney looses him the very end-oswald is replaced by mickey
One thing i love about this song is how it works both in the context of the character himself and the world of the game I'm not expert music, but you can hear how it starts with a simple melody,that follows Oswald's leitmotif that it's present in a good part of Epic Mickey's soundtrack This melody sounds almost...humble, i like to think it can represent both Oswalds first years as a Cartoon,starring his first shorts in our world,and at the same time represents the first years of Wasteland,where everyone was giving their part in making a home for the forgotten Then,the music cheers up, while following the same melody,but it feels like walking in some kind of fame room,which for me represents both Oswald's rise in popularity in our world and when Wasteland was a happy and prosperous land,where everyone had a second opportunity to find their purposes Then,it happens,the third part of the song,the melody that started so humble and turned into a cheerful sonf turned into a stressful and tragic Melody,Which shows both Oswald being taken away from Disney by Universal,and at the same time it shows how it felt for the toons experiencing the thinner disaster caused accidentally by Mickey, Confusing and Terrifying, especially for Oswald,someone who gave it all to make this workd in the first place Then,the final part,a somber, melancholic melody,which slowly follows the same leitmotif that it always used,but now,it sounds heartbroken, ironically enough,since it shows Oswald's fall into obscurity,no matter how popular he was before,behind the past and up with the new,and in Wasteland ,it shows the aftermath of The thinner disaster, everything disolved and ruined,toons turned into pools of ink and a Not so lucky Rabbit presencing the current state of his loved wife.. "A once joyous land now ruined by a mischievous Mouse" The future seems hopeless for Oswald,as the song ends in a silence,the rabbit not aware that one day,the one who he hated so much and caused all of this will appear in this forgotten kingdom,ready to make up for his mistakes,and to make amends with his long lost brother.. And maybe Oswald could learn a thing or two about this mischievous but of Good heart Mouse... Pd:ok I know i may have gone too far with this comment and probably it's just a fun song for a Mickey mouse but i love this series so much!,and there are so many details that i just can't avoid mentioning
@ThatChainmecha He couldn't have. Disney didn't have the rights to Oswald in 1988, they didn't buy him back until 2002. So he couldn't have been in there.
Lol, me and my friend call each other by our fav games of 2010 and 2011, and he calls me mickey, naughty bear, or rabbid, while I call him oswald, marston, or nukem. XD
@nintendork2001 nahh....well maybe. I mean...i think it was somewhat the idea, but you can't blame them. They wanted Oswald back, and they finally got him after so long.
I wish it was on the Xbox 360 at least. But for now I still have my Wii to be able to play both of them whenever it want! They're incredible. If you haven't, you really should read the novelization of the game. It makes certain scenes ten times better.
I absolutely love this theme song. Even without words its shows just how much he went through as a character from being created to becoming a star only to be taken away and finally the bittersweet ending of being replaced and forgotten. 😭
Well this is disney’s 100th anniversary and year of the rabbit and with the new oswald shorts that recently came out he’ll get more attention this year presumably
The Fall of Oswald: What did I think? As I felt my heart disappear from my chest, My fans, My friends, The World spinning out of control... And then...there I was In this new world Not sure where it was or how I got there... But it sure did lack color! For a while, I made the best of it, Made it a home for others like me... The forgotten stars of yesteryear But I still remembered them, My father, My love, My...brother My brother...did HE do this? Where did I go wrong?
I suppose it was only natural that the theme of my all time favorite Disney character winds up being my favorite track in Epic Mickey, but it's such a pleasant listen and it perfectly conveys Oswald's real life story in song, so how could I not have it as my favorite track in the game? I'm really happy that Oswald managed to get a happy ending both in this game, and in the real world.
Nomura, in fact, wanted to add Oswald to Kingdom Hearts 3. Disney told him it would be "complicated" to bring him to the KH world. To put it simple, Disney doesn't care about Oswald anymore, which pisses me off
nintendork2001 not an attempt, but a re-introducion. Oswald was created by Disney befire Mickey, you can say he was a Mickey prototype. But them someone claimed the copyrights of Oswald and Disney had to give up on him, making Mickey as his replacement. This game was created after (and because) Disney managed to buy Oswald back, so this game is his comeback at Disney world. He now can appear in cartoon and even in Kingdom Hearts.
MrKlausbaudelaire he even made a brief cameo in zootopia in the train station underground look at the train *Or walls* carefully and you can see Oswald
Yay! You have no idea how happy this news makes me. It's as all the planets aligned for this to happen, or something. Now Disney needs to focus on getting Felix back from Dreamworks(that *_IS_* what happened, right?).
Crazy Kid 123 well i was lucky to see in downtown disney in the toy shop suprisingly there where some oswald plushes small ones and big ones i was so happy to see it
@Moonstoneofterror This is like the "When She Loved Me" of Epic Mickey. This game made me feel about cartoon characters the same way Toy Story made people feel about their toys, and as an animation artist myself, I do NOT want my characters to ever feel like Oswald again. :'(
I know people might not see this comment and it's been a while but 10 years of this beautiful game and these wonder pieces of art and music congrats Junctionpoint even thought they got shut down and welcome home Oswald.
Okay I had no fricken clue this was Oswald’s theme. I thought this was the ending credits theme. Holy shit. The fact that it’s his theme gives this a whole new feeling to me😭💙💙
Such an underrated gem... I remember just getting this game for the hell of it since i got my wii. Never thought I'd be enraptured in such an epic game.
Man, I truly hope that they re-make this masterpiece of a game one day, I don't care how long it takes, nor how long we'll have to wait, I just hope it will happen. Edit: WE ARE SO BACK BOIS AND GALS, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT REALLY HAPPENED!🎉
This song is the very culmination of life. The first part is the very normal, average life we have, simple & pretty boring. The second part is our goofy and fun side, giving us our very own sense of taste and hunor. The thrid is very serious, sort of determinative of getting what we want. The final section is hope. Pure hope and joy. What gives us life. This is what makes us us. It also gives me a sense of hope for those who seem to have fallen and seek help.
Everytime when I think of Oswald, I had a feeling that Walt Disney himself is happy to have his "son" back, along with Mickey (little brother of Oswald)~!
No puedo creer que ya pasaron 7 años desde que se invento este hermoso juego :'v todo esto me causa nostalgia y mas escuchar esta canción ya que es de oswald TwT
•0:00-0:49 Oswald is just created and Walt and Ub Works start making his 26 cartoons. •0:49-1:08 Oswald is popular by many and was gained his fame and love along with being in the spotlight..until things go in another path.. •1:09-1:49 Instead of his fame going up and up..things take a sadder turn as Walt Disney looses the right to keep the Rabbit under his name.. 1:49-2:40 Oswald becomes scrapped and soon his replacement..the mouse know today..Mickey Mouse took Oswald's spotlight and made Oswald become forgotten and be like Mickey's shadow.. Also, who else only tears up at the sad part of the theme? it can't be just me, knowing that its supposed to represnt Oswald becoming the first forgotten toon... Present Day now though, well in 2006, the rabbit came back and Disney is trying to give Oswald his spotlight again..but still, i just wanna be in the cartoon world..just for a whole day and give Oswald soo many hugs..
According to Matt Danner the legend of the Three caballeros team was going to follow up with an Oswald show for streaming scripts Writen designs done animation test in hand and a pilot in production
@EpicMickeyFundubs Lol, thanks! ^^ Keep up the good work on your EM fandubs! (Although, as some constructive criticism, I think Oswald's voice could be a BIT deeper. He's almost like Mickey's opposite, so he'd HATE to have a voice like his brother.)
Actually he was meant to appear, but couldn't due legal issues and/or production limitations. He was cut along with a few others including: Tom & Jerry, Popeye, Mighty Mouse, and Superman (cartoon version, of course)
@ameart26 Yeah, but even then, the cartoons Mintz made did so little justice to Oswald's character, you'd think he tortured Oswald in what he forced him to do in his cartoons, especially ones like nearly getting raped by Pete. Mintz was like the Michael Eisner of Universal, focused more on quantity than quality when make cartoons. Even the animation was more poorly drawn!
