Tear Jerker / Epic Mickey

---

• The scene where Mickey finds Walt's Apartment. When Mickey first steps inside the Apartment, Gus gets choked up when he realizes where he and Mickey are in. He's so emotional that struggles talking to Mickey.
• The moment when you reassemble Animatronic Goofy and he unlocks Ortensia's house. When you step inside, you can get her locket to give to Oswald, and in the background you see her rabbit children crying and looking up at her picture.
• The ending of the comic story "There's a hole in the sky" where Oswald discovers that there is a way out of Wasteland via the eponymous hole, and almost reaches it — only for Yen Sid to discover the hole and patch it up, unintentionally trapping Oswald in Wasteland once more.
• Admit it, you shed a tear when Oswald finally gets his happy ending when Wasteland is restored to its former glory.
  • Many tears were shed during that sequence, especially in the first part where Oswald and Ortensia are finally reunited at last.
• The fact that Ortensia was turned to stone by the Blot. There's even a picture in Oswald's art gallery of himself sitting on a bench with Ortensia's hat.
• Mickey occasionally meets with toons, such as Horace Horcecollar and Clarabelle Cow, that immediately recognize and greet him as an old friend, but he doesn't remember them at all. And his expression, as he tries and fails to jog his memories, makes it clear that he feels bad about it!
• The reason Oswald had animatronic Donald, Goofy, and Daisy built is because he knew he would never meet the real Donald, Goofy, and Daisy.
  • To elaborate more, Oswald used them to relive the adventures Mickey had... But it never filled the void.
• The cutscene where Mickey first sees Oswald's altered version of the "Partners" statue with Walt and Oswald holding hands has made quite a few gamers tear up.
  • Even Mickey himself was moved when saw that statue, though that probably had more to do with his statue being replaced by Oswald's. This is even more powerful if you've seen the real statue.
    • It gets worse when you remember the dialogue during that sequence where Mickey asks Gus about the reason Oswald's suffering.
      Mickey: What happened to him?
      Gus: You happened.
• When the Clock Tower gets destroyed by thinner and falls apart, some gamers teared up. Even Gus cries a bit.
• Do something "bad" in the game. Anything, we're not picky. Now watch as the trodden down members of the Crapsack World let themselves be disappointed for about the millionth fricken' time in their sad, sad afterlife. What the hell, hero.
  • Some of these evil actions, like acting selfish, neglecting certain side missions, or using thinner against some bosses, can affect parts of the ending. There is something depressing about seeing robot Goofy trapped in a glass jar or Horace Horsecollar shutting down his business.
