The Internet flipped its lid this past July when concept art from what's said to be Warren Spector's upcoming title was leaked. The game, likely called Epic Mickey, pictured a dark, steampunk vision of the Disney universe; it was like nothing we'd ever seen.
According to a teaser in the latest Game Informer, the title might be revealed as early as next month. The latest issue of the mega-popular magazine is pretty straight forward in its hints, if you know what to look for. There's a paint splatter that looks like Disney's iconic mouse, and the word "epic" is used more than once in the teaser copy.
Epic Mickey (if that's still the game's title) is rumored to be a Wii title that has Mickey Mouse using paint to manipulate the world. We were also told that the dark art-style we saw in the concept art may have been rejected by Disney, and while the game's concept remains, the visuals as we've seen them may not. Either way, we're excited to find out next month.

If Disney have rejected it, colour me, uh, un-interested. Haha
I'm sure Mr Mouse can find a way to use it to sell sex to kids, haha, do it, haha, give us a dark themed Disney universe, which wears purity rings and thrusts it's crotch at children.
haha.
But I probably shouldn't get my hopes up.
I can see tons of kids having nightmares from this. And that's a good thing. :D
Usually, I disagree with what you say, haha. But the South Park reference is total win, haha.
GET UP, GET THE FUCK UP, haha! WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM, DO WE, haha?
Classic call-out by Parker & Stone.
I, for one, don't really know what to expect gameplay-wise. Coming from Warren Spector I'm pretty sure it will be at least an interesting ride.
I'd love to see Disney try something like this.
Pity because that picture of Epcot on top of "Monstro" kicked so much ass! So much so, that it still is my computer desktop's wallpaper.
Just keep the art style.
