but Oswald grows resentful of his younger brother over time due to his increasing popularity.

Soon after, Oswald teams up with The Mad Doctor, another early resident of Wasteland-together, they create the robotic Beetleworx, which serve as construction tools for Wasteland, as well as relocators for new residents of the world, and together they try to make Wasteland a comfortable home for the other lost Disney characters who later join them. Oswald takes this world as his own, presenting himself as a king there. This world, called Wasteland (based on the Disney Theme Parks), exists as a small model on a table within Yen Sid's tower. Fortunately, he becomes the first resident of a world created by the wizard Yen Sid for forgotten and rejected Disney creations and ideas. The story begins with Walt Disney's original cartoon star Oswald the Lucky Rabbit after finally getting Walt some success and recognition, being taken from him over a budget dispute, fading into obscurity, and being replaced by his younger half-brother Mickey Mouse. In an ambitious effort to help Disney restore Mickey Mouse's iconic status, it brings back the happy memories of Disney's classic short subjects and feature length films from their Golden Age, Silent Age, Dark Age and Renaissance Age as well as attractions from the Disney Theme Parks of old. Epic Mickey is a Disney game for the Wii developed by Junction Point, spearheaded by Warren Spector of Deus Ex and System Shock fame.
