History Characters / EpicMickey

!! The many, ''many'' infant children of Oswald and Ortensia that run around the Wasteland causing trouble.

* CensoredChildDeath: They cannot be thinned out in game, but you CAN push them around with paint or just smack them away, and if you feel particularly cruel some areas have huge lakes of thinner or pits you can punt them into to get them to stop following you...permanently.

* ChildrenForcedToKill: Played with - Oswald has OVER 400 KIDS, He literally has his own personal army to fight the Blot with and they REALLY don't like the Blotlings in the first game - they actually seek them out and fight them, and sometimes SWALLOW THEM WHOLE in-game.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter

* FalselyReformedVillain: In ''Epic Mickey 2'', he got back in Oswald's favor by claiming that he has reformed and now wants to save Wasteland from some appearent unknown threat. It shouldn't be too difficult to figuring it out if he's truly sincere or not; Ortensia and Mickey distrust him from the beginning.

* CheerfulChild: They are definitely happy. They even follow Mickey around and watch the tv cartoons if you put them down in their prescense.

* ZergRush: They always run towards Mickey, although their intentions arep playfull they can be annoying since it can hinder your progress through the level

* BasedOnATrueStory: Oswald's backstory in the game is pretty much what happened to him in real life, as a contract dispute between Walt Disney and Charles Mintz[=/=]Universal (the original distributor of the shorts at the time) would lead to Walt Disney leaving Oswald behind with Mintz in favor of Mickey Mouse, promptly being forgotten until Disney obtained the rights back to the character 80+ years later.

* CheerfulChild: They are definitely happy.

* ZergRush: They always run towards Mickey.

* BreakoutCharacter: Warren Spector intended to use the game as a way to bring Oswald back in the limelight after remaining in obscurity for most of his history (due to Disney having lost the rights). His attempt was massively successful, as the game and it's success would lead to Oswald getting a ton of love by Disney again, receiving a appearance at the parks and his own store dedicated to him in Disney California Adventure, comics and even an upcoming animated series on Creator/DisneyPlus. The likes of which probably wouldn't had happened without ''Epic Mickey'' having boosted his popularity.

* DeadpanSnarker: His years of being forgotten has left him bitter and cynical.

* ForgottenChildhoodFriend / LongLostRelative: He's the Trope Picture, and he's not very happy about it.

* TheRival / UnknownRival: Created before Mickey, Oswald was always jealous of his "half-brother" for stealing what he felt should have have been his life.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: One of his alternate outfits in the sequel is his getup from ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} The Sorcerer's Apprentice]]'', which unlike his default look or the other alternate outfits, depicts the mouse with his modern-day Fred Moore redesign instead of his original design, which looks out of place when paired with Oswald or the other characters, who are delibrately designed to harken back to the old PieEyed style of the 1920s-30s shorts.

The many, ''many'' infant children of Oswald and Ortensia that run around the Wasteland causing trouble.

* ShoutOut: The Sweepers are pretty much the brooms from the Sorcerer’s Apprentice sequence from ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}''.

The {{main character}} is none other than Creator/{{Disney}}'s own {{mascot}}, based on his early appearances as a mischievous mouse.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler:At the end of the game, he gives back Mickey's heart to him]]. It also counts as a ''SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}''.

* FalselyReformedVillain: In ''Epic Mickey 2'', he got back in Oswald's favor by claiming that he has reformed and now wants to save Wasteland from some appearent unknown threat. It shouldn't be too difficult to figuring it out if he's truely sincere or not; Ortensia and Mickey distrust him from the beginning.

* LudicrousGibs: When you completely thin the Clock Tower's hands and arms, thinner ''sprays from the stumps''. [[{{Squick}} Eeeewww]].
