The Daily Hotness: Steampunk Mickey photo

Holy crap! The concept art for Epic Mickey looks amazing! I never thought a creepy take on Disney characters would work but it looks fantastic! What do you all think of the concept art?

That should have been the header pic for the Epic Mickey article. I didn't pay any mind to it first time around as the pic just seemed so blah :P Probably more a problem with me then the article though.

I wish that pic (the source image) was wallpaper size. I really don't want to have to stretch it to fill my screen nor am I crazy about slapping up black borders. I'll make do somehow.

Is it cliched to make classic happy characters and children's stories and twist them to a darker version of them? Nevertheless, still pretty psyched about Mickey.

I'm having a hard time believing that is concept art for a mickey mouse game. so much so that I think that they're keeping the actual name of the project secret and calling it something ridiculous to draw in hype and then blast all our minds later is more likely than a steampunk mickey mouse wii game, and those ears on the water tower and other disney shit are all aftertouches to mess with you all.

I agree with the sentiment that the header pic is a great choice.
Concept art usually looks awesome... hopefully the game is comparable.
