Oswald when he returned to Disney:
_"I'm coming home"_
Disney: Great! We'll use you for two games and we don't wanna see you again! :D
APRIL STOUT and then when he’s there, Mickey will find him in a garbage pile and throw him away. (The Trash one of the new Mickey cartoons)
After he was accused of killing JFK...turns out Oz did it...with ⚡⚡⚡..
Oswald finds out about Micky mouse
"wow well here is my replacement 😒"
Also Oswald: I'm Back My Vacation From Universal! & And Walter Lance!
Epic Mickey is pretty underrated, shows a lot about the characters
I love that game, it's a good commentary on how fame changes people and leads one to forget about the people who got you there
I love both games, still play them over and over.
so true
I love that game
I bought the first game recently and haven’t played it yet due to not being able to play my Wii (no tv here) but I wanna play
I kinda hope that Disney makes a full length movie with Oswald
Or a TV show! ;)
Epic Mickey should be a no-brainer Ainmated Film.
I hope Oswald and Mickey get a along. then bother right
Circus Deer they can’t. it’s not their character, so universal may end up suing them
women hater universal gave Oswald back
I love Ozzy so much;;
It's sad enough that a lot of people don't even remember or know who he was.
Tryna South Park? Me too. He is so cute.
pink error very sad :( Ozzy is my fav
"Remember" everyone around back then is dead though
Oswald is the forgotten hero of Disney.
Did you like him in JFK assasination?
Oswald should make a comeback
He almost did with Epic Mickey, but sadly the game didn't sell.
He made at least 2 cameos in the modern Mickey Mouse cartoons
BattleBro115 yeah. But I mean something big like his own show or a video game that didn’t fail like Epic Mickey
OSWALD BATTLE ROYALE
@@yendo1774 Oswald hunger Battle Groundale
This was awesome because Oswald is my favorite Disney character just because of the rich history he has
Walt created Oswald for one of his cousins, Robert Edward Lee Oswald Sr, the father of Lee Harvey Oswald. 33
People saying Mickey mouse is the first Disney character is kinda a pet peeve of mine
It’s mine too
Same here
same
Pete is the First Disney Character 1923
Bro same
Totally agree that Walt has an interesting story. Would love to see you expand on this with more of your interpretation on it!
ProdCharles I love your videos!
Make oswald canon in KINGDOM HEARTS!!!
That'd be awesome.
T Anime Nomura would love to. It’s just that Disney isn’t letting him include Oswald for reasons unspecified.
i agree! he could be the kings long lost brother! and maybe you find him in the land of darkness, trying desperately to save aqua from the darkness in her own heart.
Yes!
YES!!!
we went to Disney World for the first time ever, I wanted to get my son some Mickey ears and get his name sewn on them, he picked Oswald ears. He just liked them better after playing Epic Mickey.
Richard Bullard 😭 What a great child!
Your son is truly a person of knowledge.
Oswald became my favorite character ever since I heard of him years ago and I was REALLY excited when I saw the thumbnail :D
Oswald is the very first Disney character before Mickey mouse
Yes. He is.
I’m pretty sure Pete was the first. I don’t mean he was the mascot. He was there before Oswald.
@@gorillazfan6019 yeah
I like the name Mickey bettet morr cute
Um actually Pete is the First Disney Character 1923
Something that made me really happy one day was while watching the Disney short “Get a horse” which plays after Frozen on the DVD, I noticed at the very end Oswald poked his head out. After seeing plays of Epic Mickey he had become one of my favorite Disney characters and I was always so sad he didn’t show up more. That one tiny moment made me happy because there was that adorable little rabbit that deserves any bit of screentime so people can remember him.
im so happy that even after all these years he still has the same design like in the 1920s! mickey changed a lot but oswald will Always remind you of disneys early days
The first time I've ever heard of Oswald was from that magic Mickey Mouse paintbrush game
Epic Mickey would be that game.
They put here more of old "lost and forgotten" characters :) it was pretty cool idea
Thanks for the reminder
SAAAAMMMMEEEE
I miss epic mickey
Disney owns Oswald once again and Disney still acts like universal still owns him by just adding cameos instead of full out putting him in the cartoons.
Are you fucking kiring me? Sorry my bad inglish i'm spanish
I feel like the reasoning is because they own part of the rights to him. If he sells, universal can get a claim to his fame. Disney wants all the money to flow into them when Universal can manage to subvert some even when the rights Disney would use doesn’t actually feed them.
Universal owns it
No they dont. Disney got the rights to him back in 2006.@@Moodboard39
Hey, Jon, have you seen Walt Before Mickey? If you have, I was wondering if you could possibly break it apart in a video and tell us which scenes are historically accurate
Of course, if you don't want to, that's okay. It's just a thought
That's actually a really good idea
Oswald played a very good roll in Epic Mickey. He even became playable in the sequel, with fully voiced dialogue to boot.
Even though I already knew about Oswald’s story i still really enjoyed the video i don’t know what it is but your voice and how you plan the videos are so well done and just sound right!
Who's to like more? The mouse who's been the most famous and popular even today or the rabbit who came before the famous one and was the very first Disney character? :P
Honestly I like Oswald more than Mickey, but I like them both.
I like Oswald
Well, Mickey has been in so much stuff that it's hard to compare, especially when you compare Oswald's later cartoons to Mickey's. The difference in quality is astounding and there's no comparison.
That being said, Oswald never changed in terms of his Disney presence from the 20s/30s raunchy aesthetic. It's a side of Disney that doesn't get talked about today and given that "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is being disregarded by Disney as a whole, I get the feeling that Disney is not looking to make a naughtier/classic Mickey Mouse anytime soon. So Oswald is for us geeks who wish Mickey might have stayed a jerkass and look like he did in the early 30s.
Honestly those guys are part of my top 10 favorite toon stars. You can find that list on my UA-cam channel in case you're curious where on the list is Oswald and Mickey and what other toon stars are on that list.
Oswald for the win! :)
This is educating and enjoyable for me! Thank you
Daniella Ospina same here. I’ve learned so much from this video. I hope he does more like this. I didn’t even know there was a character before Mickey Mouse.
Oswald is my favorite Disney Character I remember doing a whole presentation of him in middle school in English Class.
I find it kinda heart warming that he told Walt Disney's daughter that his mission was to bring Oswald home, I'm sure she was happy for her dad when it happened
Oswald is pretty cool this is a great Disney explained
They should bring Oswald back to life
👍🏻👍🏻
There is an Oswald mascot at Disney's California Adventure Park. You can take pics with him!
At least a side chase acted in Mickey Mouse
Palpatine: Have you ever heard of the tragedy of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit?
Hopefully Oswald would have His Own Movies
And New shows
We haven't heard from him since Epic Mickey should have been
Epic Oswald
thos game are so good and just 3
I heard they MIGHT make a cartoon for him on the Disney channel or Disney XD
I love that game so many memories 😢
Lps Sunkist Blast He was in one... for five seconds... inside a garbage pile... and got thrown away by his brother Mickey
He showed up for a moment in the short “Get a horse”
I love Disney explained it's the best!!!!!!
I've only heard of Oswald back when Epic Mickey was here on the Wii. I miss him tbh
"People are temporary, cartoons are forever. Gimmie that rabbit! 😍"
-Bob Iger
Started watching this guy yesterday and binged all his videos 😂
LUPENZERO sameeeeeeeeeeeee
I miss Oswald he SHOULD also get some recognisaton alongside Mickey
I recently went to Disneyland Paris and bought an Oswald Keyring. My mum doesn’t seem to know who he is but I certainly knew and thanks to this I know more to tell her about.
Thank you Oswald, if it wasn’t for you, Disney wouldn’t have happened.
This video couldn't have come out at a better time! I'm working on videos for the Epic Mickey series, and was looking for context on Oswald.
Thanks for putting in the hard work, man! I'll give you a shout out when I post it, if you want.
OMG
I’m so glad someone did this! Oswald is my fav Disney character ever! 😁
I have seen this character numerous times but I never knew who he was..now I know and I love him as much as Mickey now..
I heard of Oswald but I didn’t know this thank you for helping understand the character
I like oswald better than Mickey just to point out
same.
Same
I like both
I wanna say ozwald is a bit better bc he had more of a personality
Mickey Didnt mean To Steal Oswald's Place
During my childhood I read a Woody Woodpecker story which included Walter Lantz characters such as Oswald the Rabbit and Homer Pigeon. When I read in the Encyclopedia that early Walt Disney cartoons had Oswald the Rabbit, I was surprised. (I also read more about Walt Disney in the very book you showed us,The Disney Version.)
Heheh. If you can't tell by my current icon I'm a little obsessed with the "bunny bro." Small correction about that Oswald DVD you mentioned: it does NOT contain all 26 cartoons as about half of them are lost and some have been found since the release of the DVD. You won't find "Poor Papa" on it, but you can find the short on the Pinocchio Diamond Edition.
Disney has done a couple of things to push Oswald's character further this year. D23 last year was Oswald's 90th birthday and he got a lot of exclusive merch to boot. In Paris they finally made a costume character for the parks of his girlfriend -the cat named Ortensia. At the Disney Fandaze, which was basically an excuse to show rare Disney characters, she even got a debut musical number in the parade. Plus there was more exclusive merch of them both.
- A further nerdy detail from this parade is that Disney got the rights to use a theme song that was made for Oswald after Walt and Ub left in the parade. Me and just about every Oswald fan geeked out, because we're wondering how much of the post-Disney Oswald might be brought into the limelight.
So that's why that song was featured on the Fandaze. Actually, it's not really bad, I like that song (One of the few things Universal made with Oswald that I liked).
Who knows, maybe Oswald, Ortensia and their 420 kids will have a really bright future. I heard they will probably make something for him on that Disney Streaming Service.
I actually like a lot of the Universal-only cartoons with Oswald. The ones with Carl Laemmle in charge are pretty good and he still looks like his Disney self.
Yeah, those were pretty good too.
Rabbits > mouse
Felix the cat > Both
Oswald = Mickey
Felix = Both
I just realized what could also be an interesting retrospect: Max Fleischer's legacy. I heard way too many rivalry stories between Fleischer and Disney, ome of them being who really was the first studio that came up with the first sound + animation shorts, and live action + animation shorts. If it's something of your taste, would you consider doing a video on it some time in the future? :0
Off topic aside, i do love this particular retrospect on Oswald. It's kinda ironic that the Lucky Rabbit didnt get so lucky with his creator for decades on end until Bob Iger finally got him back home.
Felix the Cat, Koko and Bimbo and Oswald. The Winkler Brotherhood.
I love Oswald he has such an interesting history. Great video
This is so well researched and presented, yet another awesome video Jon!
The picture made me cry. Aw poor Oswald
I have seen Oswald but I never knee his name
Thank you for always being amazing. I really love how well versed you are on everything. #solofamforlife
adri101190 hey thanks :) a lotttt of effort goes into the research portion of these videos (especially this one!) and I’m glad it’s appreciated :)
@@JonSolo I'm so glad you do it. It really does make my day and I'm glad you aren't one of those dramatic UA-camrs that just only does things for the money and fame, that being said I do however feel that your channel is amazing and you deserve nothing but success and tremendous praise because I see you doing great things in the future. 👊✌👍😊❤❤ #solofamforlife
I was today years old when I heard about Oswald. Deadass my whole life I thought he was Mickey but a very old version of him... I mean I'm still a young, kinda naive/oblivious 15 y/o who is still learning about the history of this world and what is going on today. 🤷🏾♂️ So learning about this is very :) nice.
I love how they are bringing him back. Super cool. Thanks!
Your videos inspire me to make my own theory’s thank
I thought I remembered Oswald. I played a bit of Epic Mickey and saw him there.
I am really happy you are going more of Disney! I hope you do one soon of the Cows. I know Disney had two characters that were cows but yeah-.
Oswald was my childhood, coming home after school and playing Epic mickey, Those were the best games ever, Shame they never got remastered.
I also occasionally watched some of the old cartoons when my mom put them on when i was around 3.
Great video, Solo! I love this series, it's awesome.
Besides the short, "Get a horse." The Mickey mouse shorts have had a few Oswald Cameos in them.
I.e:
Some Oswald toys on a carnival game and Mickey outright throwing him in the trash.
Alternate universe: some Mickey toys in the carnival game but Osward didnt throw it in the trash
Actually, it's a hill full of trash that Mickey has to get rid of, and in it was Oswald.
I don't have Twitter. And I don't plan on getting it, sorry.
Me neither I'm super private, like "still send my love tho Jon!" 😂
I love this longer video!! Please do more like this
Another great video keep them coming!
I liked epic Mickey
same
Childhood 😢
You liked, I loved.
Dude I love your stories👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
I really enjoy your channel and have been revisting videos i never clicked on and I gotta say I wanna see a video on Disney and what happened after mickey mouse! I also found it so interesting when u went through all the different cartoons that were made. Would love to see a video on the progression of cartoons from different eras. Also more nordic and celtic folklore would be amazing!
Great video! Most of what you said I already knew but there were a few things sprinkled in there I didn't know. Can't wait to start watching more of these types of videos.
I like the origins
I stay with Mickey but I want to see what they will do with Oswald.
I’ve never found a channel I’ve loved more than this one♥️
Yes cant wait to see more!!!
You should do a Disney History show!
Like. If. You. Know. The. Original Disney mass that The whole time
Skky Gavin im struggling to understand your comment
I Love Oswald I Got Him As A Plush Instead Of Mickey At Disneyland. I Knew ALL The History A Couple Years Before I Went To Disneyland, HE. IS. ME.
TRANS GECKO !!!! I'm struggling too.
Nicely done, good pace.
Good job Jon! Very informative, well researched and professionally executed.
I like Oswald over Mickey honestly.
I like them both equally as much. Oswald definitely has a charm that Mickey doesn’t, though.
My friend said Mickey was the first Disney Character...tbh that kinda ticked me off a little
Jade de Brionne I hope you wrecked them with FACTS on Oswald.
Yeah honestly I thought Mickey was the first Disney character god he’s so old
Love this channel!
Love your videos!
I love the black furred oswald better. The original
To bad they couldn’t make the duo be pals.
Yeah. The later ones just feel creepy.
Hey Solo, what's the intro theme It's so calm.
Great video!
As someone interested in all things disney, I was so excited to see him in a game at all. :) I was fortunate to even pickup a plush toy of him during my last visit years ago, and I'm glad I did! Keep on with the history!
Yesss i love oswald the lucky rabbit :D
I love you’re videos John Solo
This is excellent work Jon.
This video was very great and informative thank you man...
Listen to the song "Wozwald" by Niru Kajitsu and read tge Wozwald theory.
Wait but Alice Comedies was the very first Disney cartoon before Oswald the Lucky Rabbit
What about the laugh-o-grams?
I think that Alice Comedies was a joint project while Oswald was just Disney's
I have never loved an intro and outro song so much! Will never get sick of it!
This was a really cool video! I hope you do more of these with other characters, it would be really fun and interesting!
Watch walt before mickey If you haven't already it's on netflix
they should have put oswald in kingdom hearts 3 that would have spiked his popularity again but nope XD only disney can fail at realizing that
Just started watching your videos and I'm hooked!
i woke up to see this 🙌 the notif worked better than my alarm clock thank u 💫😆
Do Mortimer Mouse!
never! I hate that rat!
Notification squad!
Liked before I watched. Knew you wouldn't disappoint.
Keep up the good work
Oswald and Mickey Mouse should be in a movie together
Hey Jon can you talk about the Animation wars between the East coast & West coast?
I had to come back and like your video, I listen to your videos while getting ready in the morning. love reliving my childhood in a different way. Thank you ^_^
He has been my favorite character for a very long time
#SoloCup
The 50 view woop
Fan of your videos but this one really had me captivated. Good job man keep it up.
Loved the episode. It’s really interesting hearing more about Walt Disney as his movies are such a big part of most people’s lives. I don’t know why anyone don’t, but I already follow you on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter if it helps.
