#btw both games are pretty glitchy but i think the narratives and music/art WELL make up for it

If you feel up to it, care to ramble about things you like about Epic Mickey? Idk anything about it but you've gotten me intrigued 👀
YES ID LOVE TOO!!!
So Epic Mickey is a wii game, from around 2010i think? You use the wiimote and nunchuck to paint/thinner things in your way. Paint restores certain things made out of 'toon' (brightly colored) and thinner gets rid of it. You can thin or paint your enemies too, and there's also the three paths you can take
Thinner path is basically the evil path while Paint is the good path. There's littke side things in each 'level'. Quests, hidden chests, and secrets like concept art.
SPEAKIN OF THE ART
Tumblr media
JUST. LOOK AT THIS!!!! ITS SO SO COOL! And seriously, if you're ok with melted creepy things I'd recommend looking up the concept art. It's just. Mwah!
The grimy dark atmosphere is perfect with the story. I dont want to spoil much, incase you want to check it out yourself. So. The Wasteland is a place where forgotten toons live, created by Yen Sid and ruled by Oswald The Lucky Rabbit. Oswald is Mickeys brother, created by Walt Disney (irl too! Oswald was one of Disney's first characters that he gave up before creating Mickey Mouse).
Mickey is pulled into the Wasteland after a Series of Unfortunate Events that he may or may not be at the fault of. After the Wasteland had a Thinner Disaster its been mostly reduced to rubble and broken theme parks. Mickey is determined to get home and fix the Wasteland as much as he can along the way, and maybe reunite with his brother.
There'd a LOT MORE I left out but seriously. It's great. It has a really good sequel too, Power of Two. (Its on steam/ps3. Epic Mickey is only on wii but it can be emulated I believe)
And last bit that I utterly ADORE is the MUSIC!! THE SOUNDTRACK!
JUST LISTEN TO THE OPENING THEME !!!! and the rest of the game has littke musical keys that go along with older Disney movies, it's incredible.
Seriously, check out the ost. It's haunting and well. Epic
Unfortunately Disney shut down Junction Point Studio after Epic Mickey Two didn't have the same sales as the first game, but there were plans to make a third. To bad Disney is a greedy moneysucking leech
