The Epic Mickey video game series has become known for bringing back long-forgotten or underused Disney characters and attractions that were a great inspiration to artists at Disney, Pixar, and other animation studios.

In a new featurette released by Disney Interactive, creator Warren Spector talks about Oswald and the various characters that appear in the game, including a strong female addition. After the break, check out the featurette and view some new concept art and images from the highly-anticipated sequel!

Seeing Oswald get a much larger role feels like the rabbit that inspired the mouse “that started it all” is finally back home at Disney. Also, they do not focus on it in this featurette, but the game will feature several original musical numbers, another aspect of excitement! Watch the video below:
