I dunno, I actually think you're actually helping the old characters. Notice how out of all the artwork we've seen, all the disgusting mutations of Br'er Bear and Tigger and Jafar and Goofy and Donald, the only ones who have remained unchanged and squeaky clean are these old black and white characters on the beach there, Horace Horsecollar and the like.
This could be way way far into the future, where Disney's rule over materialistic value and merchandise and corrupted practices has produced this nasty world, and the old characters have had enough of the newer generation of characters forgetting their roots, so maybe they are attempting to destroy it all with the paint thinner so they would have no choice but to reboot the entire Disney world from a clean start again - and your job is to go through and remove all the badness and corrupted visions so it can happen again.
...maybe it's even a metaphor for what Disney themselves want people to do, considering how tainted the Disney image has been recently due to sequelitis and the like.
(Hey if everyone is going to jump into batshit theory territory I want in too!)

Oh so THAT'S where that doctor came from - he was a boss in Mickey Mania.

Yeah I just watched that level on YouTube (clicked through Related Videos), it seemed very close to the cartoon (falling bridge planks, the Mad Docter himself.)

So much nostalgia came racing back when I watched it. My mom must have just taped it because it was the only thing on the one VHS tape I would always watch. Wasn't even scary to me as a kid. I would always watch it with my dog to :lol

My first thought when seeing this was that the new Disney characters have been bastardized so much that they have started to loose there appeal and "mutate" for lack of a better word. Then Mickey, or who ever the villain is, decides to go mine ( get it
) all the old characters to see if he can recreate the charm and success of the old days.The fleet washes up on shore and climbs out of the water, disfigured foul thing who have long forgotten the joy they once brought to the world. Now all they know is to obey their master, grabbing the old characters and placing them inside of themselves for transport back from whence they came.

Now it's back to how the Wii doesn't have better graphics than Xbox 360 and PS3 talk
When do you guys think we will get more news about this game? I want to see it in motion on the Wii

Judging by that Disney interactive interview, it's still pretty early. I don't expect to see anything official until 2010.Shadowlink said:Now it's back to how the Wii doesn't have better graphics than Xbox 360 and PS3 talk

The only problem I have with it being a Wii exclusive is that it limits the amount of exposure that the game will get. It should be available to play for anyone on any platform. Warren deserves that much!

Seeing that Disney VP say that Junction Point will have all the time it needs, makes me think we won't be seeing or hearing much for a long while. My guess is that this game either comes out next fall, or early 2011.

I'm convinced that the story for Epic Mickey will have to do with you restoring the world somehow. It's the only way.
Like maybe "creativity" is a natural resource or something and they've run out of it, so they're forced to re-purpose existing technology for whatever reason (which is why we see so many things seemingly created out of the leftover parts of old Disneyland rides).
The paint thinner image is full of a lot of interesting ideas. "Dip" from Roger Rabbit comes to mind, and it seems that there is a single pipe connected to top of the jug siphoning out in to the lake...
Could that be an entire lake of paint thinner? Maybe that would explain why you see the "Magic Kingdom" castle way in the background, but it's so high up - paint thinner, much like acid, ate away at the land.

this means you want this game to be a PC exclusive right?
multiplatform console versions would probably limit the games graphical potential.
Seems that they also work on a game for Xbox 360:

this is one weak-ass argument, right hereamtentori said:
I wish people would stop using it.
It's not unreasonable for people to want a game with a visual presentation and scope comparable to other big budget games that they've become accustomed to playing on the PS3/360 over the past few years. The Wii can't provide that. It's not trolling, it's just fact.
The whole, "oh, I guess you want it for PC" argument is silly. Well, yeah, I'd love it for PC, it'd look so much nicer, but that's not a standard that the majority of the gaming populace (whatever that means) have come to accept yet.

According to his profile, he was working on it till early 2008. It could be multiplatform now. Just speculating.

Why are 3 of the seven drawfs coming through the water like giant subs. This both scares me and delights me. I'm suprised Disnewy green lighted the project.

I have bad feeling that this project is canceled >.<

Anyway, I believe this is the first time I've posted in this thread, and I have to say I REALLY hope this lives in some way. I don't care what platform...I mean, this could be pretty epic in 2D as well, I think some people might be forgetting about that.
/gasm.
Ah! good, this topic popped up again.
You know what else would be freaky disturbing? Is if all the Disney Princesses (Jasmine, Belle, Aurora, Snow White etc.) appeared in the game as wraith/siren things, kind of like the sirens in God of War, all floating around with limp bodies and ginormous toothy mouths and rotting faces and screaming until your head exploded.
Mr. Epic Mickey dev, you're free to take that design and use it to your will. No credit needed.
