I heard it might happen. One of Disney's collaborators for games, Playmagic, has put out a call for developers and voice actors for a "Disney third person action game remake"
Reminds me of that one moment in the Fairly Oddparents. “Don’t worry, my dreams were shattered years ago.” “How many years ago?” “Um, how old are you?”
That's what _every_ company does when a game doesn't do so well. If the game doesn't do well, its not all that worth investing in. As cool as the concept of Epic Mickey is, it makes sense why it got cancelled, as the gameplay is one of the most important aspects of a _game._ This isn't one of those "Disney's so evil and greedy" moments this is a "the game flopped because people didn't enjoy playing it" moment. Take the Pikmin franchise for example... the game didn't sell as well as other game franchises, but it _always_ gets really good review scores because the gameplay is enjoyable and well executed. The series only gets 1 new game every 5 years or so, but if the franchise got as bad of reviews as Epic Mickey it wouldn't still be around. Don't get me wrong... I love the concept behind Epic Mickey, but the gameplay was _really_ not all that great.
Did we all just forget about the nightmarish Donald, daisy and goofy animatronic people that scarred my image of those characters for a real long time?
I don't remember ever being scared of them. I just remembered being stressed out about getting all of goofy's parts because you could only go to tomorrow city a certain amount of times
@@joeyk107 I do remember that if you missed a part or few you can go to mean street and buy the parts from the shop but they were expensive with it costing 1,000 e-tickets per piece
The soundtrack in these games were phenomenal, and included the only version of “it’s a small world” that I would GLADLY listen to over and over again.
Mark with the first game: I wish it had voice acting Mark with the second game: I made a mistake, now I see why there wasen't voice acting in the first game
SliceySlicer I don’t mind using toxic if the context is actually toxic. The issue is people getting into an argument with someone and instantly claiming that the opposing side is ‘toxic’
Despite it's flaws, i still enjoyed the game immensely with my siblings, it actually introduced us to the existence of Oswald and got us playing it for ages when other wii games were pretty tiring. (And yes we all sort've cringed when the doctor sang and we never got used to it)
an evil doctor trying to take his heart, a shadowy creature with yellow eyes, traveling to different disney worlds? are you sure this just isnt Kingdom Hearts?
I actually put up a theory at some point where this is how mickey met yen sid. However, it creates muötiple contradictions, so I rather not.(even tho the KH plot is just one major contradiction anyways)
Glad I'm not the only person who has been infected by once saying epic ironically and now saying it without irony and instant regret afterwards. I needed to hear that.
Charles Crone actually,i really liked the gameplay. Yes,the camera is trash,and mickeys movement is kinda spongy. But the fights are fun,the riddles are too,and i really liked the plattforming parts. Might be because i grew up with this game,but as i said,i really liked the gameplay.
Nah, I don’t think the show would have been anywhere near the success the first game had. Plus, it’s a Decision based game, so that would’ve been a weird storyline for a show.
If anyone was curious as to what Walt was “offered” then here’s the gist of it. Universal basically bought off Walts animators from under his nose They drastically cut his budget Pretty sure they would have payed him less So yeah he went home on a train depressed, and spitballs ideas to make ends meet, creating Mickey Mouse Fun fact: The guy who gave Walt the crappy offer, if you remember Pixar’s “Up,” the main bad guy, they based his name off the guy who screws Walt.
I wished you talked more about the original concepts of the games and how much darker they were, things like your choices changing Mickey's appearance and making him only a beastly rough sketch if you did mostly bad things, more disturbing looking beetleworx, and an extremely disturbing possible fate for Oswald.
@@dylan594 Originally, it was planned for Oswald to fuse with the blot and become this massive inky beast, and was also probably planned to die with the blob when Mickey defeated it. Of course, Disney wanted this out since it not only extremely grim but would kill the character they JUST got the rights back to.
@@randtastik Oswald was originally going to be the villain. They then scrapped that and also had plans for him to be an anti-hero instead. That was then further changed to the Oswald we now know today. The resentful, fallen star who eventually warms up as the game progresses. I'm glad they went with this instead as it just seems more fitting for him. Bitter but not evil. His story in the game in general was pretty much perfect.
The original concept for EM1 Oswald was even referenced in the Diorama section of Epic Mickey 2, by A.B.E. The blot-Oswald amalgamation was dubbed "Storm Blot", and was considered to be the Shadow Blot's most powerful form. This is true if you look at the concept art of the Storm Blot penetrating Wasteland's sky, abducting beloved characters such as the Genie.
@6:47 I wouldn't say Oswald "defaced" the infamous statue of Walt, but made an improvement in his eyes. Odd to say, but the relationship growth between Oswald and Mickey was my favorite aspect of the entire series
It definitely deserves a remaster. Make the gameplay a bit smoother and polish up the graphics a bit. Maybe they could add some voice acting to the cut scenes too. (They were good in Epic Mickey 2 so maybe just get the same cast)
Put it on the switch, make the final story tie (hopefully) into Kingdom Hearts, and deal with the Purpose of Yen Sid making Wasteland in the first place. Save VA for non- cutscenes, FIX THAT CAMERA SO HELP ME GOD, and introduce the Evil Pete Gang (which was teased heavily by PO2 ending)
Because of this game, it’s made me appreciate the older disney animations and actually made me grow to love them and I do hope that this game gets a remake because it really deserves it
This game has greatly shaped my childhood, giving me more of an appreciation for animation in general, as well as a bigger love of the totally underused Oswald.
definitely remember being so hyped for this game and while it wasnt bad at all, I was like I thought this was going to be way darker. The concept they had for this game was really ambitious at the time, even my mom was like wow mickey is going darker
@@staticchimera44 Actually, not really. The drawings people claim were concept art and that were way darker than the actual game weren't going to be in the game in the first place. I once saw an interview with the director, I think? (if someone asks me I can look up for the link), well, anyway, there he says that, when he got hired to work in the game he wanted to "test" how lenient Disney would be, so they made a bunch of creepy designs to show to the higher ups. He also clarified these drawings were never meant to be in the game or shown to the public, but now they're on the Internet and people just spread misinformation. Now, I don't really know about the changes *in the story.* But I can say that the dark concept art wasn't going to be part of the game to begin with.
I also grew up with this franchise and I would at least call it innovative. I remember looking at old Disney cartoons and wishing something like that was made again since I as getting kinda tired of all the CGI animations that were being made. When this game was announced, it felt almost like a blast from the past, but still reimagined as a game for older audiences. Disney were testing the grounds of stuff for more mature audiences (besides the 7 and 8 year olds that watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse), and I give them credit for that. As you said, a lot of love and passion went into this game. I got this game on my 10th or 11th birthday, around the time it came out. I loved diving into that game's lore and art. It inspired me to follow art and go to an arts school. I remember some of the concept art for this game giving me chills, and I wasn't expecting that for a Disney game. It surprised me in a pleasant way. Though I do stand by something you also said: the gameplay was tricky at times. I never really felt bored with the paintbrush mechanic but the camera angles were very annoying at times. I didn't really bothered to buy the 2nd game since I didn't really had an X-Box, or a Playstation 3... or any console at all that could read the game XD, but I did look up gameplay and what the game was about. I liked it, but it was a big "meh" compared to the original one. I still think the 1st game was a big shot in the dark that actually worked pretty well for what it lasted! I don't know if I would call it epic but it was certainly a very interesting experience and take on this franchise usually targeted at young kids.
My favorite character from the Epic Mickey has to be Oswald. I didn’t like him at first because I felt like his attitude would make irredeemable character, but later on in the game he would become nice to Mickey.
I really like the paintbrush concept, the whole twisted, dystopian Disneyland aesthetic, and some of the level designs are super creative. Sadly, the gameplay was just... Meh, in my opinion.
i remember being really freaked out by the clocktower as a kid. i was so freaked out by it i remember never finishing the game bc it scared me so much. i dont know if i could find the game modern day, but id pick it up again if i could. the game had an incredibly interesting gritty feel and i feel kind of bad about basically abandoning the game so quickly
I remember being excited for this game, getting it, trying to play it several times, and never getting past the 2nd or 3rd stage because it was just so vanilla
@@Agent-yw1kj Because those games suck. Basically it goes like No gameplay for 4 hours Make a choice Your choice didn't matter. Same junk happens Just watch a movie if you're gonna make a full length movie where you press a button.
I had an epic Mickey comic as a kid, i honestly has no idea it was based on the game. It was exactly the same story and all but the artstyle was even more edgier. I loved it very much, but since i dont think 9 year old me was a particular good critic, i dont know if i should recomend it.
JOHNNY TRICKSHOT I also liked his songs. I felt a bit uncomfortable due to them feeling out of place and unnecessary but overall fun. I really like Prescott’s fall.
I remember when EM 2 was being advertised during the last few Festival of Masters art event in 2012 at Downtown Disney. They had a booth for EM 2 where you can play the game and there were even some of the devs there (Not Warren), they were all really nice people and I was able to buy the game a week early and got a EM Mickey and Oswald pin with it.
Epic Mickey 2 and Epic Mickey the Path Painter (a flash game that was available on the Disney XD website) was my childhood man. I played it since I was 4 until I was idk 7. I loved the characters and the game. Also I had a comic book that told the story of the 2 game too! I wish we could have a sequel, a remastering or idk a spin off. It’s not a perfect game or franchise, but it has sooo much potential!
@@Shoulderpads-mcgee Ok what the ever living *fuck* did I just watch. I have many questions, most of them I don't want answered. Is all of Kingdom Hearts like this, cause I kinda wanna watch more cutscenes with no context.
Call Me K kingdom hearts is wild! If you actually get into it, theres actual substance and really good emotional storytelling and characters but it’s coated like an m&m in batshit insanity. If you want to see more there are some good compilations in the “kingdom hearts with no context” genre and “this is why I can’t show kingdom hearts to my friends” is the name of a few other good videos that perfectly alienate clips
@@mynameskris as somebody who’s been desensitized by the garbage of kingdom hearts, its so jarring to remember that there are still people who don’t know about that
My parents don’t often buy me video games, so I STARTED the series with the second game (which they bought to allude to our upcoming Disneyland trip), and I don’t know if it was simply the sheer excitement of a new video game combined with that of a trip to Disneyland, but I LOVED Epic Mickey 2. Of course, it has its flaws. In the Junkyard or whatever that level’s called, Oswald is supposed to offer to throw you up onto a ledge, but on ONE SPECIFIC SAVE FILE HE NEVER OFFERS (the same thing also happens in Mean Street South, where you’re supposed to get thrown onto a clock), and the alternate path out of the level involved keeping Invisible Ink on long enough to pass a camera that would shut the door to the exit if it saw you. Needless to say, the ink ALWAYS wore off before I could get past the camera. I beat it flawlessly on a second save file though. The postgame is rather simple in that there isn’t one, aside from wrapping up all the quests you haven’t so far. I think really it was just the appeal of bending reality to my will that appealed to my 11 year old brain, LMAO. Anyways, point is, this is a very good review that I’d be hard pressed to argue with. Good work!
Mark i just have to say your voice is absolutely great not to irish not to british and sometimes helps me fall asleep after remembering sonic 4 exists.
A little more context on the Al Michaels-Oswald "trade"......Michaels was an announcer for Monday Night Football.....which aired on ABC....owned by Disney. They were going to move the game to ESPN, also owned by Disney....but since the NFL was shifting their showcase game from Monday to Sunday they also wanted their showcase guys. One being Michaels. So since NBC/Universal was going to get him anyway Disney decided to let him out of his contract early in exchange for several sports related products, but also Oswald
This game was probably rich in story and animation because it's from Disney, so obviously they know what they're doing on that part. But the gameplay is STALE
I think one of the reasons I adored the gameplay as a kid was the ability to attack enemies with paint and make them your ally. There was just something so fun about making allies and having them attack your enemies, kind of like a tower defence game mixed with mind-control.
I remember reading a Game informer magazine article highlighting the game while it was still in development, and it looked super interesting. It talked about a morality system with Mickey changing appearance to reflect whether he helped people or was more mischievous and ruined people's day. It also talked about the more terrifying animatronic designs, which you can see in the concept art. All this and more was *not* in the final release, being a more generic platformer. If we got what was originally being worked on, like was said in the article, I do think this game would've actually been really epic.
Epic mickey is still one of my favourite games. It's dark, like the old Disney cartoons. It's a hard game, I never finished one of the games, but I love it.

If I had Disney+ that would be something I might check out.
I met him at Disneyland in DCA in 2017 and he was so much fun!
Maybe Kingdom Hearts can make him a old Yen Sid's pupile.
Oswald was so stressed with the fact of being forgotten, he had 100 children with his cat girl girlfriend and stuck with bills.

Epic Mickey deserves a 2D/3D animated movie. They can even make it Direct-to-Disney+. The blueprint for the story is already made.
If anyone was curious as to what Walt was “offered” then here’s the gist of it.
Universal basically bought off Walts animators from under his nose
They drastically cut his budget
Pretty sure they would have payed him less
So yeah he went home on a train depressed, and spitballs ideas to make ends meet, creating Mickey Mouse
Fun fact: The guy who gave Walt the crappy offer, if you remember Pixar’s “Up,” the main bad guy, they based his name off the guy who screws Walt.

As you said, a lot of love and passion went into this game. I got this game on my 10th or 11th birthday, around the time it came out. I loved diving into that game's lore and art. It inspired me to follow art and go to an arts school. I remember some of the concept art for this game giving me chills, and I wasn't expecting that for a Disney game. It surprised me in a pleasant way.
Though I do stand by something you also said: the gameplay was tricky at times. I never really felt bored with the paintbrush mechanic but the camera angles were very annoying at times. I didn't really bothered to buy the 2nd game since I didn't really had an X-Box, or a Playstation 3... or any console at all that could read the game XD, but I did look up gameplay and what the game was about. I liked it, but it was a big "meh" compared to the original one.
I still think the 1st game was a big shot in the dark that actually worked pretty well for what it lasted! I don't know if I would call it epic but it was certainly a very interesting experience and take on this franchise usually targeted at young kids.
My favorite character from the Epic Mickey has to be Oswald. I didn’t like him at first because I felt like his attitude would make irredeemable character, but later on in the game he would become nice to Mickey.
“A remake would be great” boy do I have news for you
Mate
The mad doc's singing is a gift to humanity
That stuff is amazing
Yep his songs are great
Help me, Help you...
Finally someone is talking about this game, one of the best Wii games I played
3:01
His name spelled backwards is Disney
Okay I believe you
Ok I Believe you.
Okay I believe you
maskofthedragon Ok I believe you
(Man I love how the internet can bring people together😂)
Ok I believe you.
"Hey Good News"
I really like the paintbrush concept, the whole twisted, dystopian Disneyland aesthetic, and some of the level designs are super creative. Sadly, the gameplay was just... Meh, in my opinion.
I couldn’t beat the first level as a kid so my mom went and returned the game and got wii fit and no I hate my child self
YO! HOW U DOIN JOSUKE
W1tchOfReb1rth good
@@W1tchOfRebirth who the heck is josuke?
@@nostromisofficial6894 JoJoke
it took me 7 years to pass the first level, i only did it a few months ago bc i was a dumb child :")
Jesus Christ the memories. I had nightmares from the "It's a small world after all" bossfight. And the ending made me cry.
WHEN THEY PUT THEIR HANDS ON THE MIRROR YESSS 😭
I wanted to finish the game but I got stuck and rage quit
i remember being really freaked out by the clocktower as a kid. i was so freaked out by it i remember never finishing the game bc it scared me so much. i dont know if i could find the game modern day, but id pick it up again if i could. the game had an incredibly interesting gritty feel and i feel kind of bad about basically abandoning the game so quickly
@@IAMVOMITFOREVER that happened with me,too...I thought I was the only one who used to be scared of the clock tower
@@IAMVOMITFOREVER Same.
FINALLY I’m not the only one who’s aware of the game I loved it when I was a kid
I remember being excited for this game, getting it, trying to play it several times, and never getting past the 2nd or 3rd stage because it was just so vanilla
I just realized he has been saying Mickey Mice the whole time
Bruuuuh
Meme Factory :/ and the cringe is uncanny
Well they thought that a game called "Edgy Mickey" wouldn't sell as well
oh hey the remaster got announced
Not a remaster it’s a remake
I Was scared of epic Mickey version of goofy. I was so scared, I was like 7
I always interpreted the use of "epic" in the title to compare the game to a literal epic, like a grand story, as opposed to it meaning "awesome".
"Disney's most famous forgotten character"
*WHAT?*
It makes sense if you knew about Oswald LOL
Wait is it not a oxymoron remembered it osward 😲
10:38 so uhh, nobody gonna talk about this, nobody gonna talk about bendy just being in a video about a different game
EVERYONE BUY IT SO WE CAN BUY EPIC MICKEY 2 SO WE CAN GET THE THIRD INSTALLMENT
Who else here found out about Oswald when Epic Mickey came out .
Me

Right here.

Honestly I think Epic Mickey would have worked better than a hand drawn movie than an actual game
Why not both?
@@Agent-yw1kj Because those games suck. Basically it goes like
No gameplay for 4 hours
Make a choice
Your choice didn't matter.
Same junk happens
Just watch a movie if you're gonna make a full length movie where you press a button.
@@thepageturner1149 Because of Disney basically hindering the proyect. It's a miracle the proyect wasn't canceled or turned into a education game
@@Agent-yw1kj I like the game. Just don't make a telltale game with Mickey mouse in it.
No.
I don't think it would have worked.
I had an epic Mickey comic as a kid, i honestly has no idea it was based on the game. It was exactly the same story and all but the artstyle was even more edgier. I loved it very much, but since i dont think 9 year old me was a particular good critic, i dont know if i should recomend it.
The true question is :
Where did the petes go and why did they take Prescott?
Please don’t tell me I’m the only one who liked the Mad Doctor singing.....😅 like yes it was a little unnecessary, but I found it charming
He spitting bars bro
JOHNNY TRICKSHOT
I also liked his songs. I felt a bit uncomfortable due to them feeling out of place and unnecessary but overall fun. I really like Prescott’s fall.
I remember when EM 2 was being advertised during the last few Festival of Masters art event in 2012 at Downtown Disney. They had a booth for EM 2 where you can play the game and there were even some of the devs there (Not Warren), they were all really nice people and I was able to buy the game a week early and got a EM Mickey and Oswald pin with it.
Epic Mickey 2 and Epic Mickey the Path Painter (a flash game that was available on the Disney XD website) was my childhood man. I played it since I was 4 until I was idk 7. I loved the characters and the game. Also I had a comic book that told the story of the 2 game too! I wish we could have a sequel, a remastering or idk a spin off. It’s not a perfect game or franchise, but it has sooo much potential!
Yeah I remember having a comic related to epic Mickey not knowing what it was
Mark:This is the worst camrea.
Me:welcome to mario 64 all stars.
Is Epic Mickey Epic?
Me: *Looks at all the cool bosses, levels, characters, story, side quests, and graphics.*
Me: I see this as an absolute win
I really hope Disney does something else with Oswald, he looks so cool as a character and so expressive especially in the first Epic Mickey
He's getting his own series on Disney+ later
Hay mark, did you hear, epic Mickey is back
i remember being so scared of donald and goofy from the epic mickey games they were nightmare fuel
Mickey vowing revenge for Goofy’s death in kingdom hearts ran so epic Mickey could walk
I've never played Kingdom Hearts, so this comment hit me like a baseball bat to the head.
Call Me K I’m begging you to watch the cutscene of Goofy’s death. It’ll hit you like the boulder to his skull, it’s so iconic
@@Shoulderpads-mcgee Ok what the ever living *fuck* did I just watch. I have many questions, most of them I don't want answered. Is all of Kingdom Hearts like this, cause I kinda wanna watch more cutscenes with no context.
Call Me K kingdom hearts is wild! If you actually get into it, theres actual substance and really good emotional storytelling and characters but it’s coated like an m&m in batshit insanity. If you want to see more there are some good compilations in the “kingdom hearts with no context” genre and “this is why I can’t show kingdom hearts to my friends” is the name of a few other good videos that perfectly alienate clips
@@mynameskris as somebody who’s been desensitized by the garbage of kingdom hearts, its so jarring to remember that there are still people who don’t know about that
My parents don’t often buy me video games, so I STARTED the series with the second game (which they bought to allude to our upcoming Disneyland trip), and I don’t know if it was simply the sheer excitement of a new video game combined with that of a trip to Disneyland, but I LOVED Epic Mickey 2. Of course, it has its flaws. In the Junkyard or whatever that level’s called, Oswald is supposed to offer to throw you up onto a ledge, but on ONE SPECIFIC SAVE FILE HE NEVER OFFERS (the same thing also happens in Mean Street South, where you’re supposed to get thrown onto a clock), and the alternate path out of the level involved keeping Invisible Ink on long enough to pass a camera that would shut the door to the exit if it saw you. Needless to say, the ink ALWAYS wore off before I could get past the camera. I beat it flawlessly on a second save file though. The postgame is rather simple in that there isn’t one, aside from wrapping up all the quests you haven’t so far. I think really it was just the appeal of bending reality to my will that appealed to my 11 year old brain, LMAO. Anyways, point is, this is a very good review that I’d be hard pressed to argue with. Good work!
What save is it?
butterlover21 it was Slot 1
I never had problems with the door closing
Its called the floatyard, since all broken and unused floats go there
THE EPICNESS IS COMING BACK WITH A REMASTER!
It Came! IT Finally came
I love epic Mickey, it’s probably one of the best officially licensed video games
New art style alert
llamapocolypes YT new shirt alert
Kingdom hearts 4: search for Oswald
Sora fights with Donald and Goofy
Riku fights with Mickey
Yozora fights with Oswald
Oswald in kingdom hearts would low-key be neat
Mark i just have to say your voice is absolutely great not to irish not to british and sometimes helps me fall asleep after remembering sonic 4 exists.
A little more context on the Al Michaels-Oswald "trade"......Michaels was an announcer for Monday Night Football.....which aired on ABC....owned by Disney. They were going to move the game to ESPN, also owned by Disney....but since the NFL was shifting their showcase game from Monday to Sunday they also wanted their showcase guys. One being Michaels. So since NBC/Universal was going to get him anyway Disney decided to let him out of his contract early in exchange for several sports related products, but also Oswald
Okay okay hear me out:
Epic Mickey x Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom Hearts 4.678/21 Months in Slumber, but with painting minigame with Oswald
Yes yes yes yes!
Roxas meets Oswald.
Except the Heartless has conquered Cartoon Wasteland,do whatever it takes to protect King Oswald’s Mean Street Kingdom.
...have you ever heard of a game called Kingdom Hearts?
This game was probably rich in story and animation because it's from Disney, so obviously they know what they're doing on that part. But the gameplay is STALE
I think one of the reasons I adored the gameplay as a kid was the ability to attack enemies with paint and make them your ally. There was just something so fun about making allies and having them attack your enemies, kind of like a tower defence game mixed with mind-control.
I remember reading a Game informer magazine article highlighting the game while it was still in development, and it looked super interesting. It talked about a morality system with Mickey changing appearance to reflect whether he helped people or was more mischievous and ruined people's day. It also talked about the more terrifying animatronic designs, which you can see in the concept art.
All this and more was *not* in the final release, being a more generic platformer.
If we got what was originally being worked on, like was said in the article, I do think this game would've actually been really epic.
The last decade was magnificent
You mean it was Like Joe?
Veeti Hämäläinen Joe mamma haha relevant meem please laugh
quite
It was "epic"
2000-2009, beautiful decade.
I was 4-13. Don't remember much of the 90's.
In fact, 2010 uses the word epic so much, there’s literally a company that is called Epic, and is famously responsible for Fortnite.
aw yes fortnite, truly the word "epic" in video game form.
No but Gears of War is, which is the first game to franchise that they started with (if you like gore)
Jules OP yeah gears of war is *epic*
@@tigerosu2070 thats exactly what a virgin would say
@@tigerosu2070 as a virgin i decide who is also a virgin and who isnt and you sir, are the most virgin out of this comment section
Epic mickey is still one of my favourite games. It's dark, like the old Disney cartoons.
It's a hard game, I never finished one of the games, but I love it.
I loved this game I cant belive u made a vid on it I love ur chanel and just realised u made a vid on it
Mark: But anyways
Ad: *COLLEGE IS ALWAYS A PAIN TO GET INTO*
Wait. This series actually existed? I always thought it was just a deranged fever dream I had when I was little.
Same in a way one day I woke up and was like “hey what was that mickey game again I wanna try it”
I played the sequal as a child and never got passed one of those cog wheel platforms. Then I quit
THE RUMOURS WERE TRUEEEE
