It's about Oso, a "unique stuffed bear" who is a secret agent working with some kind of nondescript agency, along with his training helpers, Wolfie and Dottie, and his trusty <s>[[Dora the Explorer\|talking map]]</s> [[Incredibly Lame Pun\|Paw Pilot]]. Other characters include Mr. Dos, a deep-voiced man who only talks through Oso's watch, and Rapide and Whirlybird, a talking train and a talking helicopter, respectively. Basically, it's ''[[James Bond]]'' [[X Meets Y\|meets]] ''[[Dora the Explorer]]'' [[X Meets Y\|meets]] ''[[Winnie the Pooh]]''. Line 11 ⟶ 10: The new Disney Junior block includes a short show called ''Special Agent Oso: Three Healthy Steps'' in which Oso observes as real-life children take three healthy steps to complete some sort of physical activity, such as jumping rope, swinging on a swing or fixing a salad. {{tropelist}} ~~----~~ ~~=== ''[[Special Agent Oso]]'' contains examples of: ===~~ * [[Artistic License Geography]]: Pay attention to the two different locations on the globe that are shown when the camera zooms out of a shot of a kid in need of help, then zooms in on where Oso is. Then ask yourself, "how did he get from Europe to North America in just a couple of minutes '''BY CAR?!'''" Or better yet, how is it that Oso makes it from the ''moon'' to help a kid in a matter of minutes? * [[Artistic License Physics]]: Oso is in a rocket when it collides head-on with a huge rock. Instead of the rocket crashing, it shoots halfway through the rock. Line 24 ⟶ 21: * [[Disney Acid Sequence]]: A lot of the songs diverge into this. * [[Edited for Syndication]]: The episode ''You Only Start Preschool Once'' and ''License to Sled'' are edited when airing on Playhouse Disney in the United Kingdom. Bizarrely, it is never explained '''why'''. * [[Four -Fingered Hands]]: A curiosity with this one. The human characters on the series are normally depicted as having the normal number of fingers. In "The Manny With the Golden Bear," (''[[Handy Manny]]'' [[Crossover]]) however, they sport four-fingered hands. This is presumably because the human characters on ''Handy Manny'' have only four fingers and it would have been odd to have to draw Manny with five. * [[Half -Dressed Cartoon Animal]] * [[Hey, ~~Its~~It's That Voice!]]: Why is [[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody\|Mr. Moseby]] helping [[The Lord of the Rings\|Samwise Gamgee]] with training exercises? And why is [[The Boondocks\|Uncle Ruckus]] talking to Oso on a watch? ** Also, [[Cam Clarke]] is Rapide and Whirlybird. * [[Idiot Hero]]: Arguably, Oso. He's supposed to the special agent helping the kids out... only every time it ends up being the opposite way around (because Oso forgets all of his instructions and struggles in the most basic tasks... like turning on a flashlight). Line 36 ⟶ 33: ** [[Magic Countdown]]: These scenes tend to take a fair bit longer than expected, even with Paw Pilot ''counting down'' throughout. The countdown is in sight, it just seems to work in magical molasses time in order for Oso to finish [[Just in Time]]. * [[Sentient Vehicle]]: Rapide the train and Whirly Bird the helicopter. * [[Shout -Out]]: Many, ''many'' ''[[James Bond]]'' references, all the way up to [[Incredibly Lame Pun\|hilariously bad]] titles (ex: ''Live and Let Dry'', ''Carousel Royale'', ''Goldenfly'', ''A View to a Kitten,'' etc.) complete with [[Ear Worm]] [[Homage\|Homages]] to the original Bond movies' [[Title Theme Tune\|Title Theme Tunes]]... ** There was a bonus one at the end of the double-episode ''For Your Nice Bunny'' and ''For Pancakes With Love''. [[Memetic Mutation\|"That's not a bunny, it's a stack of pancakes!"]] * [[Strictly Formula]]: Oso does a training assignment [[Idiot Hero\|and fails]]. He is then called away to help a child by Mr. Dos and Paw Pilot assigns Oso [[Ear Worm\|"three special steps"]] to complete the task. Paw Pilot then starts singing about the mission as [[Disney Acid Sequence\|a strange music video]] is shown. When he arrives, Oso follows the steps carefully when helping the child, needing the audience's help for very simple tasks. As the final step is completed [[Just in Time\|in the nick of time]], Oso returns to complete his training exercise, using the knowledge he got from his mission to earn his training award. Oso then receives a special assignment digi-medal for helping the child. The episode finishes off with a [[Incredibly Lame Pun\|corny one-liner.]] Line 45 ⟶ 42: {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Turn of the Millennium/Western Animation~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Disney Channel]] [[Category:Western Animation]] [[Category:~~Special~~Western ~~Agent~~Animation ~~Oso~~of the 2000s]] [[Category:Western Animation of the 2010s]]
