Oswald the Rabbit is the leader of these abandoned icons of old, and his evolution as a character not only adds greatly to the story but enhances Mickey's heroism as well. This is a land for the forgotten and discarded – the unnecessary and ignored characters from Disney's lore. Mickey gradually discovers many dark, depressing truths about Wasteland. Mickey eventually realizes all of the damage he has caused and that in order to set things right, he must destroy the Blot once and for all. Months later, Mickey's mischief comes back to haunt him, as the Phantom Blot, a creature unleashed during the accident, seeks out Mickey and pulls him into Wasteland. Mickey runs away, unaware of the lives in Wasteland that he has affected. In the introductory cinematic, our hero's curiosity gets the better of him, and he significantly damages a magical world with powerful paint and thinner chemicals. Though not exactly the villain of the game, Oswald is certainly the most memorable character Mickey encounters, ruling over a warped world called Wasteland. Much of Epic Mickey's strong characterization comes not only from Mickey himself, but his antagonist, Oswald. Sadly a memorable story and concept only go so far there is much holding back Epic Mickey. If the game is remembered for one element and one element only, it should be that Mickey Mouse is as capable as any character of supporting a Pixar-like adventure that not only amazes with spectacle and design but tugs at our hearts with its strong character development and remarkable love for Disney lore. In developing Disney Epic Mickey Spector and his crew sought to bring Mickey back to the spotlight, to not only give him a starring role in a video game once again but also showcase the character as the hero he is and always has been. That's where veteran video game developer Warren Spector and his newly-formed Junction Point team come into the picture.
