So since Epic Mickey 2 flopped, is this the end of Oswald The Lucky Rabbit and Epic Mickey franchise?

Not Oswald. They won't throw him away at all. I'm sure we will see more of him. You need to chill out please for your health. I know you have ADD and OCD but it can't keep being an excuse for these little outbursts. Calm down please for your health's sake and I'm concerned about you. You are a great person and I have no doubt we will see more of Oswald in the very near future. perhaps he will be in Kingdom Hearts or they will release some comics of him and more merchandise

Or maybe a tv show. I got admit, I guess I got carried away. Thanks for worrying about me. I appreciate that. P.S. Yes, I'm a brony.

Do we really need another thread dedicated to silly Disney apocalypse ramblings? We're already discussing this in the Mickey Mouse TV series thread AND the Epic Mickey thread.

Sorry.

No you're not.

Disney didn't send Al Michaels over to Universal just to let one of Walt's first original creations live in creative purgatory after one video game's disappointing sales. Oswald will be back in one way or another before long, especially in merchandising, if his recent success at the parks and stores are any indication.

I'm not sure if he'll receive his own show, though. This generation of kids don't seem to be interested in that kind of show, at least not in the traditional Disney way. But anything is possible.

Well, I don't think we can really say that since I can't think of a show done in the last number of years done in "the traditional Disney way." Mickey Mouse Works might have been the last one (or Mouse of House, I guess. They're practically the same show, except HoM has bridging material).

Craig McCracken's new show at Disney looks like a call-back to the classic, rubbery "Steamboat Willie" style. I don't know if its success (and considering McCracken's record, I think it will be a hit) would influence the creation of a new Mickey or Oswald show, but it seems pretty close to the old style.

I was actually thinking the other day, I'm surprised Disney never made an "Alice Comedies" show for the current generation. Even as a preschool series, it would make some strange sense.

Are you talking about Wander Over Yonder? If so, yes I'm very excited to see that. I bet that show and Gravity Falls will be the key to get Disney Channel to stop all those pathetic tween sitcoms and bring back Mickey and friends a new show. Dream on, I know.

Also I think perhaps you should request this thread closed since there are other threads you have created that this discussion would fit in perfectly fine.

It's only a suggestion though.

I don't see why there can't be room for both. It's kind of surprising to see Disney only in the past year or two attempt to add more animated series into their main channel's schedule, considering how successful Phineas & Ferb has been for a while.

But if its and Gravity Falls' success with all ages shows, then there's clearly interest in more cartoons on Disney Channel.

Didn't Gravity falls only just barely get picked up? I heard it wasn't doing too well. Which is a shame because its the first one I've considered worth watching since Kim Possible I think. Not that I watched KP, but I at least got the appeal.

Nonsense. They just haven't reveal any episodes lately. of course, there will be a new episode start February 15th.

I'm sure Disney will use Oswald in other ways--likely for merchandise, although probably nothing big. I doubt they'd make a TV show or video game based around him though. Maybe a TV film (similar to the Winnie the Pooh and Tinker Bell spin-offs)?

It's worth pointing out that it only becomes a discussion if you respond.

I thought I might be able to cut it off before that happened, but that train seems to have left haha

I wanted to throw TsWade2 a bone and give him some serious replies instead of just trolling him for once.

It probably would be better if this was locked and we take this to another thread.

I don't have a problem with that. Maybe next time I should of been careful what am I posting, even though I'm in crisis. LOL!

Really? Because, according to a DVD review of the Oswald DVD, the main reason that Disney acquired Oswald was not a matter of good business sense, but rather an issue of morale and principle. So I have no idea.
