    I really enjoyed Epic Mickey. I really loved the idea of all these lighthearted characters merged in a dark/tragic atmosphere.
    And who can forget that touching ending.

      @@BrerOswald Film critic and historian Charles Solomon once took the opportunity in his review of the 1988 television special "Totally Minnie" to gripe about how for decades Minnie had no personality and that "female animated characters have so often been ciphers". One of Webster's Dictionary's definitions of cipher is "one that has no weight, worth, or influence". This could be seen as a reflection of the overall sexism in animation.

    The 2 Epic Mickey games were and are AMAZING and you can see all the love that went into them both PLUS they were a breathe of fresh air during a time where FPS games were the norm. Thank you Mr. Spector for having the courage and vision to lead the team that created the incredible worlds realized in these 2 Epic Mickey games and thank you for putting such strong support behind the Wii especially with the first Epic Mickey game during a time many developers said the Wii was underpowered and could not produce amazing graphics. You proved them wrong with these games and proved them to just be lazy! These games are 2 more reasons I will not be selling my Nintendo Wii anytime soon. BTW they look amazing via component cables. Would love to see an Epic Mickey 3!

    "Ortensia appeared in the Oswald shorts starting with The Banker's Daughter, replacing Oswald's former love interest, a much more feminine and sultry rabbit named Fanny in production materials. Ortensia's original name during the production of the Oswald shorts was Sadie (as referenced in the title of the animated short: Sagebrush Sadie). However, the names for Oswald's love interests were never widely publicized, which is likely the reason she was given a new name in Epic Mickey, following the illiteration pattern of Mickey and Minnie's mirrored relationship."

    I love both of the Epic Mickeys.
    I remember playing the first one and thought how cool it was. I just loved all of it. The squeal, to me, was great too. I was able to play with someone else (one of my sisters for example) and just bond over that game. This doesn't mean I don't remember the flaws of both games. The camera took me a little bit to get used to, especially the parts you can't really move it at all. (Honestly I had a harder time jumping on some platforms more than anything). I also know that the plot for EM2 wasn't as strong as the first one was. But that's was you have to do. Overlook the flaws to see the true beauty and those games were a masterpiece to me.
    I honestly do hope that there'll be an Epic Mickey 3 (mostly because of the ending scene in 2) also I want to see how the graphics of today might change it and maybe fix some of the maneuvering flaws it had.
    In short, I still love Epic Mickey to this day and I hope that the ones who have played it kept it close in their hearts.

    I'm sorry, did you just try to say Ortensia was something you made up? Because you're lying. Her name was originally Sadie, but she was in the Oswald cartoons and continued to appear as "Kitty" after Walt lost the rights to them. You just gave her a better name and a personality. I think you need to rewatch the cartoons.

    • @internettoon
      @internettoon 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    • @yosefdemby8792
      @yosefdemby8792 หลายเดือนก่อน

      One copyright synopsis for The Banker's Daughter actually labels her as "Fanny". That was also the name for the female rabbit (who had the surname Cottontail) that appeared in "Oh Teacher!", "The Mechanical Cow," "Great Guns," and "All Wet".
      More important, however, is that Disney did _not_ lose the rights to Oswald. The copyright was owned by Universal from the start. In a 1953 article for The Portsmouth Times, Disney himself said that he didn't own the copyright to Oswald.
