Last year, rumors and pictures began to spread about an interesting game in the works: a steampunk Disney project called “Epic Mickey”.  Based on the somewhat creepy concept art, nobody would have guessed that this game was a real possibility.  However, the game has been officially announced and a spread about it will be placed in GameInformer magazine. 

The game is a platformer slated to come out for the Wii and involves ”painting” and “erasing” levels.  The most interesting part is the plot, which is said to revolve around the “lesser” Disney characters rising up to dethrone the main mouse. 

Being a former Disney employee myself, I find this news incredibly dumbfounding.  I’m curious to see how this project turns out, and if it can truly go the distance with a dystopian vibe.  What say you?
