“Why do you say words weirdly I don’t understand the concept of having an accent?” - 90% of the comments

I would definitely want an Epic Mickey remake on current gen consoles Edit: Yes I know they just announced a remake stop telling me

Epic Mickey WASNT using “epic” in its title, it was using an epic, like a tale

The first half of the 2010s was obsessed with the word "epic" The second half of the 2010s was obsessed with the word "toxic"

Epic Mickey was that game that legitimately scared me when I was little.

this is the exact definition of a game that needs to be remastered.

Is epic Mickey really epic? Short answer: Yes Long answer: Yeeeessssssss

The soundtrack in these games were phenomenal, and included the only version of “it’s a small world” that I would GLADLY listen to over and over again.

Disney developer: makes a game that doesn’t do so well. Disney: “alright time to shut you down.”

I would love to see more Oswald the rabbit. He’s such a adorable little character to see in epic Mickey.

Oswald was so stressed with the fact of being forgotten, he had 100 children with his cat girl girlfriend and stuck with bills. The End.

“Forgotten? Why? What happened?” *”you happened”*

Did we all just forget about the nightmarish Donald, daisy and goofy animatronic people that scarred my image of those characters for a real long time?

"Gritty dark mickey was a risk" Kingdom Hearts:

Normal Person: "Game" Mark: "Gey-em"

I wish they had voice acting in the cutscenes. Epic Mickey 2: IM RIGHT HERE!

Who is here after Epic Mickey Rebrushed just announced??

“Now this is epic” Santa- Rise of the Guardians-2012 That has not aged well

If anyone was curious as to what Walt was “offered” then here’s the gist of it. Universal basically bought off Walts animators from under his nose They drastically cut his budget Pretty sure they would have payed him less So yeah he went home on a train depressed, and spitballs ideas to make ends meet, creating Mickey Mouse Fun fact: The guy who gave Walt the crappy offer, if you remember Pixar’s “Up,” the main bad guy, they based his name off the guy who screws Walt.

"So basically Gremlins are basically Omochaos." Me: bruh, id rather have Gus help me in battle than a horrible non-stop talking robot like Omochao...

Despite it's flaws, i still enjoyed the game immensely with my siblings, it actually introduced us to the existence of Oswald and got us playing it for ages when other wii games were pretty tiring. (And yes we all sort've cringed when the doctor sang and we never got used to it)

The two most overused words today: Literally Toxic

an evil doctor trying to take his heart, a shadowy creature with yellow eyes, traveling to different disney worlds? are you sure this just isnt Kingdom Hearts?

This sounds a lot like a Kingdom Hearts plot, are we sure this isn’t King Mickey’s backstory?

I loved Epic Mickey, it's dark and brilliant at the same. It also brought back Oswald and people still remember the character since.

Glad I'm not the only person who has been infected by once saying epic ironically and now saying it without irony and instant regret afterwards. I needed to hear that.

I feel like Epic Mickey should’ve been a movie or tv show, since the story was so good but was just dragged down by the kinda sub-par gameplay

Epic Mickey deserves a 2D/3D animated movie. They can even make it Direct-to-Disney+. The blueprint for the story is already made.

@6:47 I wouldn't say Oswald "defaced" the infamous statue of Walt, but made an improvement in his eyes. Odd to say, but the relationship growth between Oswald and Mickey was my favorite aspect of the entire series

Epic Mickey remastered with better controls, some bonus content, free cameras, and full voice acting, it could be, well, Epic!

“Epic Mickey really makes you FEEL like Mickey” -IGN

Can't wait to see him make a video on the remake when it comes out

If this was made today it would be called "Based Mickey"

I wished you talked more about the original concepts of the games and how much darker they were, things like your choices changing Mickey's appearance and making him only a beastly rough sketch if you did mostly bad things, more disturbing looking beetleworx, and an extremely disturbing possible fate for Oswald.

Because of this game, it’s made me appreciate the older disney animations and actually made me grow to love them and I do hope that this game gets a remake because it really deserves it

That opening scene was terrifying as a kid.

I also grew up with this franchise and I would at least call it innovative. I remember looking at old Disney cartoons and wishing something like that was made again since I as getting kinda tired of all the CGI animations that were being made. When this game was announced, it felt almost like a blast from the past, but still reimagined as a game for older audiences. Disney were testing the grounds of stuff for more mature audiences (besides the 7 and 8 year olds that watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse), and I give them credit for that. As you said, a lot of love and passion went into this game. I got this game on my 10th or 11th birthday, around the time it came out. I loved diving into that game's lore and art. It inspired me to follow art and go to an arts school. I remember some of the concept art for this game giving me chills, and I wasn't expecting that for a Disney game. It surprised me in a pleasant way. Though I do stand by something you also said: the gameplay was tricky at times. I never really felt bored with the paintbrush mechanic but the camera angles were very annoying at times. I didn't really bothered to buy the 2nd game since I didn't really had an X-Box, or a Playstation 3... or any console at all that could read the game XD, but I did look up gameplay and what the game was about. I liked it, but it was a big "meh" compared to the original one. I still think the 1st game was a big shot in the dark that actually worked pretty well for what it lasted! I don't know if I would call it epic but it was certainly a very interesting experience and take on this franchise usually targeted at young kids.

Let’s not “forget” Oswald was never came back, after those games.

Me, who (unfortunately) only watched the third movie: _Wait, they're a music group?_

Literally the day after I watched this video, the remake was announced.

imagine... a remake today: epic mickey: rebrushed

broke: Jiggle physics engine woke: Ear angle engine

This game has greatly shaped my childhood, giving me more of an appreciation for animation in general, as well as a bigger love of the totally underused Oswald.

Epic mickey remake let's gooooo

Who's here after the announcement of the remaster?

I feel like this game is getting more popular and making a comeback

My favorite character from the Epic Mickey has to be Oswald. I didn’t like him at first because I felt like his attitude would make irredeemable character, but later on in the game he would become nice to Mickey.

I really like the paintbrush concept, the whole twisted, dystopian Disneyland aesthetic, and some of the level designs are super creative. Sadly, the gameplay was just... Meh, in my opinion.

Mate The mad doc's singing is a gift to humanity That stuff is amazing

3:01 His name spelled backwards is Disney

Who's here after the remake was announced?

WELP HERE WE ARE

definitely remember being so hyped for this game and while it wasnt bad at all, I was like I thought this was going to be way darker. The concept they had for this game was really ambitious at the time, even my mom was like wow mickey is going darker

Finally someone is talking about this game, one of the best Wii games I played

“A remake would be great” boy do I have news for you

FINALLY I’m not the only one who’s aware of the game I loved it when I was a kid

I couldn’t beat the first level as a kid so my mom went and returned the game and got wii fit and no I hate my child self

I always interpreted the use of "epic" in the title to compare the game to a literal epic, like a grand story, as opposed to it meaning "awesome".

I remember being excited for this game, getting it, trying to play it several times, and never getting past the 2nd or 3rd stage because it was just so vanilla

6:20 Al was actually happy about the trade because it meant he could co-host with friend, John Madden.

I just realized he has been saying Mickey Mice the whole time

Well they thought that a game called "Edgy Mickey" wouldn't sell as well

"Hey Good News"

I had an epic Mickey comic as a kid, i honestly has no idea it was based on the game. It was exactly the same story and all but the artstyle was even more edgier. I loved it very much, but since i dont think 9 year old me was a particular good critic, i dont know if i should recomend it.

Jesus Christ the memories. I had nightmares from the "It's a small world after all" bossfight. And the ending made me cry.

Please don’t tell me I’m the only one who liked the Mad Doctor singing.....😅 like yes it was a little unnecessary, but I found it charming

I Was scared of epic Mickey version of goofy. I was so scared, I was like 7

10:38 so uhh, nobody gonna talk about this, nobody gonna talk about bendy just being in a video about a different game

Honestly I think Epic Mickey would have worked better than a hand drawn movie than an actual game

Is Epic Mickey Epic? Me: *Looks at all the cool bosses, levels, characters, story, side quests, and graphics.* Me: I see this as an absolute win

The true question is : Where did the petes go and why did they take Prescott?

oh hey the remaster got announced

I really hope Disney does something else with Oswald, he looks so cool as a character and so expressive especially in the first Epic Mickey

My parents don’t often buy me video games, so I STARTED the series with the second game (which they bought to allude to our upcoming Disneyland trip), and I don’t know if it was simply the sheer excitement of a new video game combined with that of a trip to Disneyland, but I LOVED Epic Mickey 2. Of course, it has its flaws. In the Junkyard or whatever that level’s called, Oswald is supposed to offer to throw you up onto a ledge, but on ONE SPECIFIC SAVE FILE HE NEVER OFFERS (the same thing also happens in Mean Street South, where you’re supposed to get thrown onto a clock), and the alternate path out of the level involved keeping Invisible Ink on long enough to pass a camera that would shut the door to the exit if it saw you. Needless to say, the ink ALWAYS wore off before I could get past the camera. I beat it flawlessly on a second save file though. The postgame is rather simple in that there isn’t one, aside from wrapping up all the quests you haven’t so far. I think really it was just the appeal of bending reality to my will that appealed to my 11 year old brain, LMAO. Anyways, point is, this is a very good review that I’d be hard pressed to argue with. Good work!

Epic Mickey 2 and Epic Mickey the Path Painter (a flash game that was available on the Disney XD website) was my childhood man. I played it since I was 4 until I was idk 7. I loved the characters and the game. Also I had a comic book that told the story of the 2 game too! I wish we could have a sequel, a remastering or idk a spin off. It’s not a perfect game or franchise, but it has sooo much potential!

Mark:This is the worst camrea. Me:welcome to mario 64 all stars.

"Disney's most famous forgotten character" *WHAT?*

I remember when EM 2 was being advertised during the last few Festival of Masters art event in 2012 at Downtown Disney. They had a booth for EM 2 where you can play the game and there were even some of the devs there (Not Warren), they were all really nice people and I was able to buy the game a week early and got a EM Mickey and Oswald pin with it.

I think 'Epic Mickey' was more using the term in the way of an 'epic tale' (like Beowulf) rather than the overused term epic meaning 'cool'. Idk. Could be wrong, but to me it comes off as it being a story of Mickey going through a great and powerful tale to overcome powerful entities and personal troubles. Which is what an epic tale is.

A little more context on the Al Michaels-Oswald "trade"......Michaels was an announcer for Monday Night Football.....which aired on ABC....owned by Disney. They were going to move the game to ESPN, also owned by Disney....but since the NFL was shifting their showcase game from Monday to Sunday they also wanted their showcase guys. One being Michaels. So since NBC/Universal was going to get him anyway Disney decided to let him out of his contract early in exchange for several sports related products, but also Oswald

Who else here found out about Oswald when Epic Mickey came out .

Mickey vowing revenge for Goofy’s death in kingdom hearts ran so epic Mickey could walk

I remember reading a Game informer magazine article highlighting the game while it was still in development, and it looked super interesting. It talked about a morality system with Mickey changing appearance to reflect whether he helped people or was more mischievous and ruined people's day. It also talked about the more terrifying animatronic designs, which you can see in the concept art. All this and more was *not* in the final release, being a more generic platformer. If we got what was originally being worked on, like was said in the article, I do think this game would've actually been really epic.

EVERYONE BUY IT SO WE CAN BUY EPIC MICKEY 2 SO WE CAN GET THE THIRD INSTALLMENT

This game was probably rich in story and animation because it's from Disney, so obviously they know what they're doing on that part. But the gameplay is STALE

Kingdom hearts 4: search for Oswald

Hay mark, did you hear, epic Mickey is back

I love epic Mickey, it’s probably one of the best officially licensed video games

In fact, 2010 uses the word epic so much, there’s literally a company that is called Epic, and is famously responsible for Fortnite.

New art style alert

We actually KINDA got that "Epic Donald" game, it's called Goin' Quackers. It's definitely not what people would expect, but it's an okay game.

If I had a nickel for every time a wii game with an amazing story got hated by the gameplay, I would have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice (epic Mickey and super paper Mario are the games I’m talking about btw)

Okay okay hear me out: Epic Mickey x Kingdom Hearts

The last decade was magnificent

Mark i just have to say your voice is absolutely great not to irish not to british and sometimes helps me fall asleep after remembering sonic 4 exists.

Epic mickey is still one of my favourite games. It's dark, like the old Disney cartoons. It's a hard game, I never finished one of the games, but I love it.

Personally, I’d love to see an Epic Mickey world in Kingdom Hearts one day. Just imagine the possibilities that could be done with it. Tetsuya Nomura would definitely have a lot of fun with it.

I absolutely love this review. Lots of people only focus on the bad or good of the franchise, whereas this review really points out what is good and bad about the games. I didn’t realise how ignorant I was of reviews of the epic mickey series pouring scorn on people who said the games weren’t great, but in all reality I never looked at the bad because of my nostalgia. I really like this review also because it highlights the wonderful care and attention that was put in on the tiny details around the map which is really the only reason I liked the first game. Thanks for such a great review
