If we never get a remaster and/or a third installment, I'd be all for a Disney+ series (preferably done in the same sort of art style as the 2D cutscenes) adapting the story of at least the first game, expanding on the Wasteland and the forgotten characters (especially Oswald, given that Disney's done nowhere near enough with him since these games).

I actually watched the epic mickey files to learn more about this which lead me to become an animation nerd! If anything, I hope they try to remake or remaster these games because I want to play them again. The premise of us being in the shoes of Mickey and learning about these old characters WITH him is absolutely fantastic, and I even remember my shock when I realized how similar wasteland and disneyland were in appearance.

[@Igorcastrochucre]

I always imagined how the series were to move forward when there was hope for sequels: A Roger Rabbit-style crossover with WB and Fleischer, A land of the forgotten Direct-to-DVD characters, a world where you got to see scrapped versions of characters and stories and a prophecy where the oldest living creation of Walt would save the day and the plot twist is that it's neither Mickey or Oswald.

Speaking of Kingdom Hearts if you know about the franchise’s history then you’ll know that Disney was initially hesitant to let Square Enix put Mickey in the game since they were unsure if it was going to be a hit or not which is why he has such a small role in the first game only appearing at the end, but when Kingdom Hearts did turn out to be a hit then they gave Square permission to give Mickey a bigger part in the sequel. I bring this up because I think it could be possible that the success of Kingdom Hearts could be what inspired Disney to make Epic Mickey in the first place, also Epic Mickey didn’t make Mickey a video game icon as you said we can thank Kingdom Hearts for that.

[@roiroije6326]

Firstly, Mickey Mouse is far from being an "icon" when it comes to video games instead of icons. Epic Mickey has nothing to do with Kingdom Hearts at all, so I'm not thanking them for anything. Secondly, Disney never intended to make Epic Mickey, it was originally a rejected idea. But then Disney bought the rights to Oswald and decided to give Junction Point the go ahead.

[@MovieMadness23]

@@roiroije6326 what do you mean Mickey isn’t an icon? He totally is so the fact that you even believe that he’s not an Icon is insulting to Walt’s legacy second if you knew the history of Kingdom Hearts you’d know that what you’re saying isn’t true

Also; Oswald truly needs to appear In other games outside of just Epic Mickey alone cause the truly needs another gaming role.

Unpopular Opinion: Epic Mickey *>* Kingdom Hearts Again, it's just my opinion, but the story and world of the original Epic Mickey just felt so much more in line with the legacy of respecting Disney's past and 2D animation with a simpler story while introducing old legends like Oswald, The Phantom Blot, and so many other forgotten characters to a brand new audience who never know them for decades. The dark aesthetic of making a dystopian Disneyland with other elements of the other parks was the perfect setting and really enhanced the world of the Wasteland and made the inhabits all the more depressing in their setting along with their tragic real-life history of being forgotten. The sequel had its moments too, the voice acting was great to finally hear the character's voices in full, but I will agree with most the story wasn't as good as the first and the musical cutscenes got a bit annoying. Kingdom Hearts story got confusing pretty fast after the original, and while I do love the blending of Disney with anime (And occasionally Final Fantasy), it got pretty overcomplicated and complex that I stopped following the games and stuck to the hardcore fans and experts to explain the proper way of following the story and lore throughout all the main and spinoff games. Such an underrated game, I absolutely love it and hope it gets more attention from Disney and animation fans alike. An HD remake of the original with fixing the technical problems, adding voice-acting, and an overall rehaul of the graphics and cutscenes for the next-gen consoles like the Switch would be awesome, but I highly doubt would happen since Junction Point is dead and Disney doesn't care about Epic Mickey anymore.

[@Transformers-recapathon]

To me i think junction point gave the middle finger to square enix and to sora

[@ajflink]

I prefer Kingdom Hearts but you do have a point....To the unprepared, Kingdom Hearts's storyline can seem very complex, intertwined, secretive, and near philosophical. Sure, in some they give a summary of what happened prior; however, it fails to properly explain what happened before each game so that anyone can be caught up. I can wrap my head around it very easy and enjoy the gameplay thoroughly. My only complaint? I found the main character's first English voice actor to be annoying and cringy. Also, the music is gorgeous. I consider Epic Mickey to be equal in greatness. Maybe a future Kingdom Hearts game can have an Epic Mickey world as a way to promote a new Epic Mickey game. So, there is actually another flagship game series for Disney other than Kingdom Hearts. I don't know. I'm just a passionate fan of Disney games. No, ones made by Electronic Arts are not Disnry games. Those are digital slot machines.

It's funny....at the 14:13 you mention some of the leaked early concept art that hit the public. That actually hurt the studio a bit. That was early on. When we were told to really just cut loose. Aim for the fences. Get as crazy as we could. And if we had to pull back, we would. It generated SOO much buzz. People were REALLY excited for it. Excited that it looked so different than anything they'd ever seen from "DISNEY". Dark and really edgy. But.....when the game came out, very little of that was still in. And people/audiences were confused as to why. The "Why" was because it's disney. LOL. As an animator as well...I knew right when I heard 'cut loose'...that there was no way that was going to be the case. And that all this stuff was going to be pulled back. Drastically. And in the end it was. Because...again. Disney. :D Thanks for the vid. It was a fun romp down memor lane. :)

[@VidtopiaEntertainment]

It’s a shame what happened to the series and Junction Point but I thought of an idea to maybe revive it. Originally Warren Spector had an idea when Epic Mickey was released about making a film adaptation of the game but Disney rejected the idea, but now with modern cartoons today having big story arcs thru multiple seasons to the entire series I think it would be an amazing idea to revive Epic Mickey as a Disney+ series. Yes I know Disney is already making a Kingdom Hearts series for Disney+ but I think this concept would make an amazing episodic series with it being an action-adventure comedy-drama series similar to shows like Steven Universe or Adventure Time, they could even revive old concepts that didn’t make it into the game like one concept of Mickey turning into a paint/thinner monster and even take some concepts from other unproduced Disney projects like Maximum Horse Power or heck make an episode about that concept. I feel like this would be an amazing series that could drive up Disney+ subscriptions and could even be competition to WB/HBO Max’s Infinity Train... Oh yeah a remaster would work too. MAJOR UPDATE: As of 2024 we are actually getting a remake woooo! Now bring on that Disney+ series.

You had me from the very first line of the video. Epic Mickey has indeed been “my game” for years. Even though I have now completed it many, many times and gotten every possible collectible, I still think of it fondly and play it from time to time, though there is zero challenge to it at this point and the fetch quests drive me bonkers. I just remember the early days of playing the original game - all the late nights just soaking up that soundtrack and trying to figure out how to beat levels that repeatedly killed me.

I'm not even really a videogamer, but this game made me sit up and take notice. If nothing else, it was EPIC on the conceptual level, the 3D modeling of classic Disney animated characters, and idea of the game world itself. In the long run, making it a Wii exclusive was probably not the best move, and it could have benefited from some kind of Gold Edition that improved the flaws in game play and made it available for Xbox and Playstation. It is kind of ironic that after all the development, its history after hitting the store shelves was over in just about one year. Disney Interactive just gave up too quickly. Other media tie-ins for animation and comics would have helped, too. Thanks for the interesting observations.

My Ideas for an Epic Mickey Remake (potentially on Switch and other modern platforms): • Reanimate the cutscenes to look like Epic Mickey 2’s with voice acting. • Fix up the camera and controls so it feels smoother and easier to control. • Reintroduce abandoned concepts such as the bigger morality system, new enemies and unused areas (I.e., Wonderland and the Jug Pump) • Potentially change the story with bigger alternate endings based on the morality system and the Storm Blot concept. In addition to these ideas, the remake could be compiled in a trilogy game (similar to the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro remakes) with the completely remastered Epic Mickey, the “slightly altered to be better” Epic Mickey: The Power of Two, and the final Epic Mickey 3. Everyone would love it and it could be promoted by reintroducing Oswald into an existing Mickey TV series or create a new one starring him as Mickey’s half brother! Of course, since Disney Interactive is shut down, this may not come to pass.

Yes!!! Some one give this person a promotion!

[@cooperwolfe5478]

I think you have a lot of great ideas. One idea that I’ve always thought would work if done correctly is take the first game and make it a series on Disney+. I would make it a 2D style show and while you would have to cut out aspects of the game I think it could work.

[@lelandatkinson5470]

@@cooperwolfe5478 That sounds like an interesting concept.

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

Only the first game has the greenlight for the remake; However, if it sells well, you KNOW Disney would want to greenlight a remake of the sequel or even just a completely new game.

Animat bud, I’ve been here since I was a kid! I grew up on your videos! You deserve so much more recognition than you actually get and I’m so thankful you’re still here today! Your videos are so rewatchable and your epic Mickey content is to DIE for!!!

I'll always remember the epic mickey files and the videos you made when I was younger. Genuinely you were my childhood and helped me love epic mickey even more

[@jlev1028]

Funny that Disney is known to be the king of imagination, yet they kept setting limits on Epic Mickey's capabilities. What would Walt think about the guy's idea to make the mouse be corrupted by the thinner he uses?

[@maverickdarkrath4780]

He would probably love the idea, considering his era had some of the more nightmare fuel mickey shorts

I like how this game introduce everyone to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and rescued him from his obscurity!

[@LocalTorchwoodIntern]

Your series of the epic mickey files is how I found your channel and fell in love with Oswald the lucky rabbit and lost media! If it wasnt for this game or your series, Oswald wouldn't be my fav disney character or epic mickey being my childhood. thank you for talking about this game or I have never found this channel

[@MysteryToonGamer]

Still my favorite video game of all time, and as a cult follower of your Epic Mickey files, I thank you for this overview of the franchise's history! Did you know there was meant to be an Epic Sports Game as well?

[@Scavenger-DREAD]

EPIC MICKEY IS BACK BABY!

[@Rotomdextrash497]

The Epic Mickey Files is how I found your channel. I still watch it time to time. You are awsome

[@miguelangelguzman9196]

Wow I certainly did not expect this video to pop out! Just like a couple other comments, I was around 14 when you finished the Epic Mickey Files and I was devastated that nobody really talked about the game after that. It makes me smile everytime i see people starting to bring it up again. I recently even replayed both EM 1 and 2. On another note, i was noticing Jim Dooley, the composer for EM, has been releasing a lot of the tracks for the game, both used and unused files. Even if they don't make another EM video game, I feel like creating a movie or a series would be an absolute success.

Happy 10th anniversary Epic Mickey!

[@natgalan2361]

Omigosh I used to be obsessed with your Epic Mickey Files and then later on with your movie reviews for years. I’m trying to manifest an Epic Mickey remaster announced sometime this year and stumbled across your channel again :’)

[@hunterolaughlin]

I definitely remember getting the first Epic Mickey game for Christmas and beating it in October. It was a really great game and I replayed twice and actually managed to accomplish more side quests than I did my first time playing. I even own the second game. What a great way to mark the 10th anniversary of Epic Mickey. Such a shame it ended on a cliffhanger.

[@tbkarate7175]

Man that outro brought me back to the epic Mickey file's days

[@deanfinder503]

I used to watch your epic mickey files all the time way back. Really glad to see you talk about it some more all these years later!

[@ninetynine_0]

I remember how me and my dad would play it ALL the time when I was like five, it has been so long and I cant remember how old I was but how happy the experience was. I think if they were to remake the game it would be A LOT better than ever with the graphics and since there are better design teams and all that I think it could be a big hit again. It was a really smart to turn something that was all so happy we knew as kids and twist it around and give it a horrific scene. To marketing, this is smart as just the Disney franchise it's self is marketed to be so happy, but turning it upside down? I think if they gave it another chance now since we are more modern, this could be perfect.

[@Lucinator]

epic mickey is like the best game when i was young i hope epic mickey 3 comes out

[@detectivewobbuffet2778]

one of my favorite games ever, also epic donald sound like an interesting concept, especially to fans of the disney comics like me

[@roxycauldwell544]

Epic mickey is absolutely a gorgeous and creative game. I love the dark mystery it had

[@cliff1634]

I thank this game for introducing me to your channel all those years ago, and to this day it remains my favorite of all time Seeing this pop up in my notifications gave me a blast of nostalgia

[@treymykel]

I think if Epic Mickey was made for multiplatforms the game would be remembered even more. It would be nice to get a third game where it's on all the platforms now

[@SlayCapCC]

Have you seen? On Jim Dooley's channel Jim is uploading more Epic Mickey music and unreleased ones.

[@PrinceApollo117]

I remember your “Epic Mickey Files” I played Epic Mickey 2 with my Uncle and watched him played the first one
