Art of Epic Mickey
I was really happy to be asked by Disney to write the text for Art of Epic Mickey after working on the game. I take zero credit for how cool this book is, I’m just doing the work of tracing and unpacking what the game’s artists put together, all the original art that first created a sensation when it leaked onto the Internet.
For Disney enthusiasts it’s a hilarious, occasionally shocking re-imagining of the Disney canon – a lot of it made it into the game, but there’s plenty that didn’t. As Warren said, they took it all as far as they could, then pulled back when they absolutely had to – but everything they thought of shows up here. And it goes deep into the back catalogue – they’ve got the familiar works, Small World and Peter Pan and Snow White and such, but you’ll also see references to The Black Hole, Atlantis: the Lost Empire, and all the classic early animated shorts. Thrilling, geeky, intriguing stuff.

A trip down Memory Lane for Disney, while also adding new fraeutes, and a delightfully twisted Disney World clone. Camera could use some work, but I was so enveloped in the sea of cartoon references, I never really noticed. This game will unlock, not just your mind, but that special guest, buried within the depths of some people’s minds yet a regular visitor to theminds of young children like myself. Imagination. I love it, you’ll love it. Get this game, and I guarantee you wont regret it.
