Keep in mind, that concept art wasnât officially released by Disney. Some artist just put it on his portfolio site, and it got leaked. They werenât promising anything.
I think everyone above has helped prove my point. Thanks guys.
New featurette about the Animation of Epic Mickey 1 Needless to say, itâs AWESOME and if wasnât for the fact that I knew that it was going to have Oswald, The Phantom Blot, The Wasteland, the Mad Doctor, an immense throwback to Disney history and an amazing gameplay, Iâd buy it based on this video alone . They really pulled out all the stops to make this game play and look better than humanly possible.
Also, forget what I said about wanting PIXAR making an Epic Mickey movie. Iâd love to see one done by the Junction Point Team (although if PIXAR did do one, I think Iâd die of excitement)!

Woweee. That video was fantastic. Loved what I heard and especially what I saw. Thanks for posting!
That was really neat. I liked how they actually animated scenes from different cartoons just to get the feel of the characters.
Thanks for posting that link, Pixar Builder!
Im still mad for the fake publicity BUT that was awesome, it feels very like the old disney, but im confused about something what is exactly the role of pixar in this game? according to this they are not making animation, so what are they doing?

Theyâre consultants, as far as Iâm aware. Just people to talk to to get critique or ideas.
So, then theres not going to be a pixar cameo?
Doubtful, but I would love to see more PIXAR characters too.
I posted this in the WMG section on TV Tropes
WMG: Epic Mickeyâs Spiritual Successor will be Legendary Luxo Jr.
After working with PIXAR Animation, Warren Spector decides to take the concept of The Wasteland to create a Cyber World for PIXAR characters.
The basic premise is that back when CGI Animation was still new, and PIXAR was still creating small shorts, John Lasseter and Ed Catmull had created a kind Cyber Space called âRender Remanenceâ, to store all of their rejected and outdated ideas and characters, the first of which being Andre and Wally B. Pixarâs first animated CGI stars. They become the rulers of this world, but are bitter and angry for only being one-stand characters and harbor an intense resentment to Luxo Jr., the companyâs favored mascot.
Luxo Jr. accidentally enters this world, accidentally, after following his star ball and into an old 1993 Pixar Computer. Interested, he finds a locked container entitled âEarly Toy Storyâ and as usual he decides to hop on it. Unfortunately, this releases the Complete Monster known as the Black Friday Woody, who is now a jumbled mass of pixels and corrupted render software. Luxo Jr manages to escape but with Black Friday Woody loose, he quickly devastates Render Remanence.
Years later, Luxo Jr. has forgotten about this and is asleep by a computer when suddenly a massive wall of corrupted text grabs him, pulls him through the old computer and into Render Remanence.
The main objective is to befriend Andre and Wally B, RRâs first deleted characters. Luxo Jrâs main weapon in this game, is an animated computer mouse he managed to grab before being pulled into the Cyber World. Itâs capable of Deleting and Restoring any old computer files.

You sohuld make a fanfic out of that wild mas guessing, the idea its AWESOME!
If Pixar characters do have cameos in this game, I will be banging down their door until they have some in Kingdom Hearts.
New viral video for Epic Mickey. Iâm so looking forward to this game. But unfortunately my Wii broke a few days ago. With Epic Mickey and Donkey Kong Returns coming out, and Golden Eye and Kirbyâs Epic Yarn already out, Iâm sad right now. AND, my copy of Mario Galaxy 2 is in my Wii.
Itâs Epic Mickey Month at Jim Dooleyâs Website! Heâs got a couple of sample music from the game here jimdooley.com/

You canât combine two âoffersâ. If I go for the â10 dollars off my next video game purchaseâ offer, can I still get delivery-day shipping for 99 cents?
Also, Iâd like to find a list online of all the locations/characters based on old Disney movies and shorts so I can watch all of them before playing the game. If you guys know of any, Iâd be so happy.
Had an Epic Mickey birthday cake last night. hehehe
Yeah, does anyone know how to post a pic from Flickr directly into a post? Itâs not working for me.
Copy the direct image link url and then place it between the IMG brackets
Also, very good sized interview of Warren Spector about the game, including the specific involvement with PIXAR and John Lasseter: [url]http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/technology/personal-tech/controller-freak/qa-warren-spector-on-disney-epic-mickey/article1805962/[/url][/img]
I did but it didnât work.
See?
Thatâs because thatâs not the direct image address
