Timeline/Epic Mickey

* December 25th: The events of **Just Like Magic**: Oswald and Toby Bear sneak in Mr. Whiskers' home as a magician for Christmas dinner as a magician, but accidentally destroy the house, which Oswald cleans up.

## 1928

* Due to negotiations, Walt Disney loses Oswald to Universal and comes up with the idea of another character that only he holds the rights to during a train ride home. The Toons don't understand the full story and chalked it up to Oswald being forgotten because of Mickey.

**Gremlin Gus**: [Oswald] was the first of us to become a star. And the first to be forgotten.
**Mickey Mouse**: Forgotten? Why, what happened?
**Gremlin Gus**: You happened.
* Yen Sid works on a world for forgotten characters.
* May 15th: Test screenings for Plane Crazy, Mickey's technical first short.
* May 28th: The short Oh What a Knight is released. In this universe, that was the last short Oswald starred in ever.
* Oswald is sent to Wasteland and is its first inhabitant. He set up shop, buildings, *anything* for other future forgotten toons to feel comfortable.

**Yen Sid**: In the beginning, Wasteland was a very different place. **Very** different. A haven for what I called "passing fancies." Cartoon icons whose fans had forgotten them but who deserved a far better fate than simple oblivion. Oswald was the first arrival, followed by Ortensia, then came their family, their friends, and soon Wasteland was thriving. It was the happiest place off Earth... for the most part. There were jealousies, of course. The grass on the other side is no less green, even for a passing fancy. But it was nothing that could not be lived with. Wasteland was a shadowy imitation of another, jayous place where more **popular** characters resided. A place that was often noted for its **cleanliness**. Any dropped trash seemed to **disappear** magically. Which it did. Thank to my magic, the waste fell through to Wasteland, there to be utilized as raw building blocks...
