      The game seemed more like a Kingdom Hearts clone if we're judging by the development art. As much as I'd like a second sequel, I'd rather have it if they still preserved that edge and patchwork theming of the previous two entries.

      @@gracekim25 Have you seen concept art for the scrapped third game? Mickey and Oswald are actually in Robin Hood's world. I do not know the full extent of the plans for the third game, but it seems likely that we will visit actual Disney worlds in the sequel than more of Wasteland. I will admit that it could be concept art for a projector stage, but the concept art barely hints at that. I'd rather Kingdom Hearts remain exploring the actual Disney worlds, while Epic Mickey does its own thing and only have locations inspired by films and attractions. Also, I like how Wasteland is more of a theme park than an actual magical land. I just find it neat how rickety contraptions and building are created from discarded memorabilia and spare attraction parts. While I am not asking the next game to be dark and I am even fine with more areas of Wasteland getting restored fully, I'd like to keep the jury-rigged aspect from the first two game maintained. On top of that, if most of Wasteland is made from paint rather than inert, then it would compromise the gameplay drastically.

      @@gracekim25 Saying that it's too colorful in the second game is a valid criticism. It lost what made the original game's setting so special, which was it's masterful quality of being dark and gothic without being edgy. The sequel feels much more like a generic Disney game.

    Hearing this music brings me back to a magical time.
    I remember when I was 6 (I think), and I first saw gameplay of Epic Mickey on RUclips. I wasn’t born in America or any English speaking country, so I couldn’t understand most of what was being said, or what was going on.
    But what I did notice was the music. I’ve listened to few game OST’s that capture a game’s personality so perfectly. The tragedy of Wasteland, the hopefulness of the paint path, and the bombastic orchestra. These games are very special and dear to me, not just because of its visuals, art design and charm, but because of its music.
    Thank you Jim for making my childhood that much brighter.
    I’d love to know if there’s a way of contacting you so I could ask more questions about the game’s music, and it’s thought process. I’d love to hear more about it.

    I'm sure you've already heard this kind of thing plenty of times, (and I'm so sorry for the long comment) but I used to watch my dad play this game all the time when I was younger and it honestly shaped my taste in media ever since, sitting on the floor next to him wrapped up in a blanket in front of our tv watching him play through this game will always be one of my most cherished memories. A bit ago I was going through my old Wii games and I had always looked at the game with fond memories but I decided that I should finally play it myself to fully understand it. A decade (and a little) later and now as an artist, musician, game lover and Disney fan I was finally able to understand just how wonderful every part of this game is.
    When I painted in a whole area for the first time and noticed the music change it made me get all giddy and filled with genuine excitement, I've always loved the concept of the music changing with an environment as a story telling tool and that touch almost brought me to tears haha. Every time I got to a new location I tried my best to paint in a whole area and once I did I would sit and just listen that version of each track because the arrangements and instrumentation are so beautiful!!
    The characterisation of the world through the music is phenomenal, just listening to the soundtrack on it's own I am put right back into Wasteland and it gives me the exact same feeling as it was being in those environments, meeting certain characters or being in a specific fight. All of the music stuck with me to where hearing the tracks again on my playthrough I was able to hum along with them and feel a great sense of familiarity. Now knowing the basics of music theory and being able to pick up certain things I just couldn't when I was a kid filled my heart with so much more love for each song.
    Not to mention alongside the music, the gorgeous art and animation, the wonderfully stylistic UI and sound design, and the painting and thinning mechanic provided one of the most unique video game experiences I've ever had and I could tell that it was all made with passion for the story, characters and medium. The magical and familiar yet tragic feel that permeates everything and everyone in Wasteland through their themes and looks was pulled off masterfully and I'll never get over it!!
    It still shocks me that this game was ever even allowed to be made with its premise and art direction but I will forever be thankful it was, because it created one of the most creatively driven games out there. Everything about this game inspires me so much as a creative person who's loved the mediums of music, art, animation and games since I was a little kid. One day when I'm older I'd love to be able to be a part of a team or studio that creates something like this, that's always been my dream. The media I grew up with helped me through so much and taught me so many things or just presented me with great stories I could get lost in and take me to new worlds and grant me experiences that were handmade with love, and I want to help make something that does the same for others. But out of all the things I consumed I'd have to say, this game takes the cake for everything I aspire to achieve as an artist and I'll always think of it when it comes to what I want to do.
    To finish off, this track (and Oswald's theme) will always bring me to tears because of all the memories tied to them and just for how magnificent they are as pieces of art. The way they tell the tale of each brother and let you know each facet of them as characters is so spectacular!!!! I care about those two and everybody in Wasteland so dearly and I never thought I'd get the chance to but I want to say a huge thank you to you Jim!! This was, is, and always will be one of my favourite soundtracks to anything ever (as well as one of my favourite games ever) and I extend a big thank you to everybody who worked on this game and the power of two.
    I'm sorry for being overly sentimental and being so long winded but I never thought I'd get the opportunity to say something like this haha

      @JimDooleyMusic thats honestly surprising considering your music was half of the reason it was such an integral part of my childhood. maybe they're still too early in the remake, or are gonna use the same music. I know some games that remaster the soundtrack, but if they haven't talked about it yet then that probably won't be the case. Whatever happens, it'll be great to hear your work in this game again! I've listened to your other stuff on the channel too! Your one of my favorite composers! Thanks for chatting a bit!
