Bunny Children
The Bunny Children are neutral characters in Epic Mickey. They resemble young, blue versions of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, and are his offspring.
History
The Bunny Children first appeared in Oswald's first cartoon "Poor Papa". The Bunny Children are the massive offspring of Oswald. They roam throughout the Cartoon Wasteland, having nowhere else to go after Oswald was defeated by the Shadow Blot in the Blot Wars. They have massive apetite for Blotlings, and, despite Oswald's distaste, they are very fond of their uncle, Mickey Mouse. Some are found inside Ortensia's house, looking sad and missing her.
Gameplay
If too many as five Bunny Children crowd Mickey, they will grab Mickey and throw him into a nearby Thinner river if the Spin Move isn't performed quick enough. They can be distracted by the TVs in Mickeyjunk Mountain, watching the clip from 'Steamboat Willie'.
Big Bad Pete has missions where he wants you to round up and lock them up, despite being Oswald's children.
Epic Mickey: Tales of Wasteland
The Bunny Children also appear in the Epic Mickey: Tales of Wasteland (digi)comics. These comics are a prequel to Epic Mickey and take place before the Thinner Disaster. The Bunny Children make a cameo in "Clock Tower Cleaners", and "Oswald the lucky Duck", but have bigger roles in "The Game's Afoot", "One Scary Night" and "There a hole in the Sky". They play a larger role in the comics than in Epic Mickey.
They are quite the troublemakers, but most will gladly help Oswald and Ortensia when asked. They are all called "Oswald Junior" plus their number. For example. "Oswald Junior the 42ND" and there are 420 Bunny Children in total.
Cartoons
- Poor Papa
- Trolley Troubles
Trivia
- The animated short that they debut in is currently "lost" at this moment in time, however there is most likely surviving artwork of them in the disney vaults, this still leaves the plothole of where his kids came from as in Epic Mickey, only Oswald's cartoons that survive are mentioned.
- Although "Poor Papa" is lost, another cartoon they are in "Trolley Troubles" lives on.
- Whenever you complete the Bunny Roundup Quest Series Oswald blames Pete and eventualy tells you not to worry, because they have and will escape.
- Despite catching the bunny children in a "Bunny Roundup" mission, they always escape. This is made evident because whenever you re-enter city hall (the place where bunny children are locked up) you'll always hear the sound of them coming out of the pipes that sucked them into their cells. Due to this, it's implied that they can escape and merely return to their cells when Mickey comes in.
