Oh man, I LOVED LOVED LOVED the first Epic Mickey game! My favorite section of the first game was easily the Gremlin Village, since it has such a creepy Disney, small world vibe to it. It feels so run down and sad, yet very charming and nostalgic, and I think that can be said about the game as a whole! I especially love the clocktower boss fight, especially since the actual clocktower is my favorite structure in Disneyland, and because I’m a huge Rolly Crump/ Mary Blair fan. Speaking of a remastered Epic Mickey game, there is actually a fan group working on a fan game called Epic Oswald! Here is their YouTube channel:

I know I'm a tad bit late, but man, I love this game, probably one of my favorites. I remember playing this a lot when I was younger, and I love the whole concept of "paint" and "thinner." It's quite brilliant in my opinion. I can easily say that this is one of Disney's better video games.
Really hoping the rumors are true that we're getting a remaster for modern consoles.
That would honestly be really sick, although, Junction Point Studios (one of the studios behind Epic Mickey) was shut down in 2013 I believe.

The rumor started with this.


If it's true that the untitled game is a remaster, hopefully it's announced and maybe even released later this year.

I just watched The Simpsons short film "Playdate with Destiny," the music reminded me of the music in Epic Mickey, something about it just seemed familiar. I checked who composed the music and sure enough, it was James Dooley, the same guy who made the music in Epic Mickey. Idk, I thought it was interesting.
Yup! Jim Dooley also made some scores for the simpsons ride over at Universal!!

I enjoyed these games mostly for the visuals and music. Gameplay was okay, but the difficulty was all over the place. I remember exploring the Main Street area and thinking, they should have put Walt's apartment in the firehouse, and lo and behold they did. A nice Easter Egg in a game almost made up entirely of easter eggs from throughout the companies history. I'd love a remake, but it should be retooled a bit. Also, as stunning as it was, it didn't fully live up to my expectations based on this teaser artwork:

I adored the fact that the game wasn't "cutesy." Often whenever someone takes on a Mickey project they reduce him to a twee adorable corporate symbol. Epic Mickey was the first time in a while that we returned to Mickey Mouse's roots as an impish scamp. I feel that this game started the whole rethinking Mickey's personality & turning him into a beloved character again. Opened the door for Paul Rudish's shorts in a way.
