Orange Bird has become popular at Disneyland too. He has merchandise at DCA and Disneyland And plushies

46:17 Italian here, you guys have no idea how massive the first Epic Mickey's marketing was, the graphic novel adaptation were drawn by two of the best artists in the country, Paolo Mottura and Fabio Celoni, and one of the biggest comic book/magazines of the country, Topolino had an entire issue dedicated to it.

all i know about epic mickey was that the intro scared me half to death as a child

wonderful video! very informative and emotional 🖤

Oh, and you should definitely give Shrek 4 another go. I think it has every right to be appreciated with the rest of the Shrek franchise. The Lore and character exploration are fantastic, and a good unexpected direction when those elements weren’t covered in the first movie. And yes Shrek 2 was fantastic but comparing it to a movie that was clearly trying to build back up the franchise and maybe close it out properly just doesn’t feel right to me. Shrek 4 is a great movie, and I stand by this statement. (Also with a Shrek 5 coming out, I know for a fact people will begin making videos on how Shrek 4 is actually good and y’all are missing out.) The magic of Shrek 4 is that I didn’t think I needed a fourth one, but then everything they introduced was actually really relevant to the story and the characters we’ve been alongside this whole time. Also Rumplestiltskin as the villain is a fantastic depiction of the fairytale character.

Frozen is such an emotionally mature film presented from the perspective of Anna, who develops maturity rapidly through the events of the story. Frozen is simultaneously a story that can be enjoyed by older and younger siblings for completely different reasons. Obviously as an older sister I completely understand Elsa’s choices and find Anna childish. While I bet my little sister sees Anna’s choices as understandable and finds Elsa uptight. I love this movie and I’m so grateful someone sees this movie for the intelligent writing that made it the international superstar it is.

Ugh, I would love to play this game again.. sadly I don't have a Wii anymore, so why not bringing it to the newer consoles and PC? I have seen Epic Micky 2 on Steam what made me happy, but they have lost out the first one. Have to agree with you with the camera movement and consequences part sadly. But with what I cannot agree with is for me it had some style, that the characters didn't speak. Don't know how to explain that.. it fitted well for me with the style of the game/world. I mean it is nice to have and fits well in the second game! They should give it an option to put the synchro on and off :D Aaand I totally love, that the kept doing the 2D cutscenes. Such a nice charme. It was also really fitting and nice, you could play Epic Mickey 2 with someone together. Sadly Epic Mickey 2 had some bugs and same camera issues I find at least, but played the PC Version so not sure anymore with the Wii. But you say it still was a problem so I guess.. yeah.. meh D: It was okay. Just had one bug where I couldn't finish the world and got stuck real hard :( I could fix it through reinstalling the game. or did I play all again? No.. I guess not. AND YES, Oswald was kinda annoying staying in the way or didn't do what he was supposed to do xD c_c Hearing they had to rush it, makes it really sad.. but still, I love the Universe and the games. Also seeing the Ideas from the epic series that didn't got real is kind off sad.. T_T Epic Donald? I totally would have been in for that. The DS Game looks so good. Never played it, but have seen a Let's Play from it and liked it. Aaargh! I want to play it now.. but wait.. Epic Mickey Rebrushed?? If that happens I am more than happy :D please for PC too. Ahh, that is so nice! Amazing and informative Video! :) Like to see people still talk about this game.

“Which he does in song” is my favorite running gag in this. Really cements how much it happens and how “ok I guess we’re doing this now” it feels

There should have been a cross-over between Kingdom Hearts and Epic Mickey.

This is the best game on the Wii

Brother bear isn’t a flop it’s a good movie you’re just a mono tone bore.

IGN are just garbage people.

Why did this teach me more about animation history in America than my history of animation class-

So, is there just a designated voice actor for Yen Sid? He sounds identical to the one in Kingdom Hearts.

Oddly, Kingdom Hearts did delve into "forgotten disney worlds", but extremely surface level and was on stuff that most people would be aware of. It is weird that Oswald has not appeared in a Kingdom Hearts game. Maybe Kingdom Hearts IV being in an alternate reality is the perfect excuse to finally have Oswald in the Kingdom Hearts series. Well, at least we knew Rebrushed will have Oswald.

Epic Duck Tales sounds like a billion dollar idea.

Having lived through both of these games they were the best things I had ever played. Hell I still play it almost religiously every year. I'll never stop loving these games. I'm so excited to also be living through the Rebrushed coming out soon. Hope this sparks an uprise in Epic Mickey and we get a proper sequel and get that final trilogy that Specter wanted from the beginning

Such a great video, I’m glad there’s so much appreciation for this game. I was only a kid when I first played it, I didn’t know anything about Disney history & Disney parks, so I’m glad I can give it a second chance as an adult with the Rebrush edition

I used to be obsessed with this game and would watch TH-cam videos on it all the time. When I actually got to play the game though... I never finished it 😂 I don't know why

I'm so mad that Jungle Book level never materialized.

Thanks for the information!! I always played the sequel on PS3 and I just loved it. It was my favorite game and unfortunately I couldn't play the first game because I didn't have a Wii.[I know that rebrushed coming out soon] Since May I have been working on a university project called F.F.P and I have chosen Epic Mickey as my main theme.I have to research the whole internet now because I only have one year to do it.[Believe me. I have been working on the first chapter since May 😂].Thank you so much , you really helped me

This was a highly refreshing perspective on the movie. Thank you for even enlightening me on a few things.

First time coming across your channel. You did a great job with this retrospective

The choice style thing is definitely there because young me kept getting stuck when I forgot to defeat a boss with paint and would have to restart the entire game

I'm really hoping that the Switch version of Rebrushed has pseudo pointer controls in much the same way many Wii ports have done. I also think it'd be a good time to address the issues the game had, like improving the camera, adding voice acting ect. I'm not really expecting those things, but eh. BTW, if I recall correctly, I think that Power of Illusion was made by the studio that made games like Monster Tale on the DS, the controls certainly feel like it anyways.

This was incredibly well done! Epic Mickey is what made me so enamored with animation and its strange and deeply fascinating history. It's hard to find videos, and just information in general about this game. So thank you for putting in all this effort and sharing the history of one of my favorite games, and for the other videos regarding the making of Oswald and Mickey!

Because of this game, Oswald is my favorite Disney character. I really hope Rebrushed improves the experience of the original.

Ah... Mickey games. Still remember playing one for the V-Smile back in 07, when I was 5/6

To be fair, the village parents would have an idea what happened to Emily, Thackeray sent his friend to get the elders. When they arrived they would have found Emily dead and have an immediate right to hang them. Like mentioned in your history part, there (most likely) would have been a trial - but Emily’s death and missing Thackeray gave them the “right” to hang them.

The ultimate goal in my opinion is if the remaster does well enough to please the Disney higher ups enough to sway them to let Purple Lamp the company making the game to potentially finish the story that junction point had planned my understanding is JP had 2 more games in the series but we all know what happen

Imagine a world where we got a Mickey Mouse themed game that looks like cuphead. How incredible would that be

I remember being overcome with emotion when I discovered Walt's Office, and seeing Mickey there. If I remember correctly, there was a brief dialogue too. Oswald's story of being found and finding a brother in Mickey was something that has always stayed with me. I'm so glad Walt's lost son has returned and has found a place for himself once again.

Epic Mickey introduced Oswald to me. And he’s one of my FAVORITE characters from the game😭 I love him so much. Epic Mickey also my love of horror.❤ it’s so whimsy and charming and I just love it so much

Amazing video i shared it on my community tab!

This is great. I love deep dives into media I remember. I only ever played the first one, so I'm really glad to hear about the plot and history of the other games.

I feel like this game is so under appreciated even in the gaming community. Epic Mickey was one of the best games I played as a kid, I would totally revisit it if I still had my Wii 😭

I loved this game! I spent hours on it, and my sister and I spent hours on the second one. I cannot wait for the remaster for the Switch, and I really hope they remake the second one too

I am glad that this video got recommended to me. I got into Epic Mickey around 10 years ago, which was like a couple years after the last games in the franchise. As someone who just got started looking into Disney history at the time because I've been a Disney fan my entire life, the premise of the game exploring forgotten and unused aspects of the Disney brand had 7 year old me hooked, despite not playing any of the games. Throughout the years since then, I've looked into the game's story, and I started to appreciate it even more, showing me that Mickey actually has flaws and wasn't always this picture perfect role model that younger kids idolize. Around February of this year (or 2024 for those who might see this comment in the future), I was feeling sick, and I couldn't go to school due to my condition. The day after that, I was getting breakfast and decided to check out the Mini Direct out of curiosity. I still was feeling a bit iffy, but it wasn't as bad as the day before. When I saw the announcement of an Epic Mickey remake coming for all platforms, I felt really excited. I felt so good, that the excitement actually motivated me to return to school. And, I was really happy for the rest of the day. I'm glad Disney decided to approve of a remake for this game, considering it did not only reinvent the mouse, but also a celebration and a bit of an influence for Disney animation and parks. I'd like to say I've enjoyed this video very much. There was a good amount of effort put into it. And like it was mentioned, I was one of the many people who was impacted by the series. Thank you for making this. I can't wait to enjoy the remake, and I hope you do too.

I would say Magnifico was more communist than capitalist. I do find it frustratingly amusing that people who say Magnifico was right, wouldn't be able to even have any thoughts like thst if they lived under the rule of Magnifico.

Very well done

Fantastic Video! Deserves More Views!!

I still regret not playing these games...glad it's coming to the switch I'll get them then

1:00:07

This deserves more views!!

I remember playing this game I was in middle school and I beg my parents to get me the epic Mickey 2 and I got it. Even though I wasn't finish on the first game but these two games help me a lot in middle school and now I'm in college! and I never forgot these games and I'm so excited that we are going to get a remastered of it!

Warren sure is a lucky guy <:,)

I’ll never forgive the world for robbing us of more Epic Mickey. Very excited for the remaster and praying it sparks new entries in the series.

This is an amazing video. Maybe one day you’ll make a retrospective on my tiny game studio once we’ve grown a bit.

@ExtrordinaryPeoples I am guessing you have heard of the Epic Mickey Rebrushed coming to Switch?

Hey man good video overall but the whole “more on that later” thing is a bit much, I think if you have to add that note I think you should go back to script to make to make it thorough, or just speak on it when the topic is mentioned
