Disney's Epic Mickey may look nowhere near as amazing as its original concept art, but I'm still quite looking forward to it. To
keep our hype fires burning, here's an intro cinematic for the game that explains how Mickey comes to be armed with his magic paintbrush and thinner.
It looks pretty cool, so make sure you check it out. I'll definitely be picking this one up, and I'm curious as to how many of you are. To me, it looks like a fun little action/platformer game that isn't trying too hard to be innovative, and I think the Wii needs more of those.

So instead they give him a series of nonsensical squeaks and make me read txt...
@damm
I totally agree.
Epic Mickey looks fucking delicious on the Wii.
Great animation, too.
It seems like they're trying to return him back to how he used to be when his cartoons first came out. In trying to move away from the current image of Mickey and back to the black & white era Mickey I understand why they wouldn't want him to speak as it would only associate him more with how people view him today. Plus in the game it seems like you can be a real jerk... and it would just seem silly being a jerk with Mickey's voice....
Shame on you, I play my 360, PS3 and Wii games on a 1991 Panasonic TV 15"... And all the games looks gorgeous on that TV...
Loving the Wii pointer implementation and I'm expecting Warren Spector's story to be great, so, definitely picking this one up.
And the animation in that cinematic is SUPERB. My god. Every bit as fluid as disney 2D. What is going on here?
If you ever find an officially Disney licensed picture of Mickey with his ears not both appearing like that, then I will give you a cookie. Part of the licensing agreement for Mickey related things is always that his ears must always appear like that from every angle.
Actually his ears are supposed to stay that way not only in his old animation but even today. You can see it in this fairly recent cartoon (which is coincidentally also video game related).
I'm happy they were able to get it right for this game as they've had problems getting it right in some other CGI renditions. They had it wrong in Kingdom Hearts 2... although I remember it being correct in the ending cinematic for the first Kingdom Hearts.
THE MORE YOU KNOW!
Well I guess you owe me a cookie.
Although not technically a picture....
And why would you want Mickey to talk? What the FUCK?
