(Although I'm still away working at college, I got enough down-time left to make this post on the forum. I don't have as much downtime as before, though.)
As a lot of members already know from the c-box, I'm excited as hell for the new Epic Mickey video game coming out Nov. 1st on the Wii (although they might release it in other platforms). If you want to see Disney actually honoring their classics and their beloved star after so many years of Disney Channel or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, THIS IS THE GAME FOR YOU!!! ^^
Plot Summary: A long time ago, Walt Disney, represented in the game by the sorcerer Yen Sid, created a pen-and-paper world (based on his "Disneyland" theme parks) for his forgotten and rejected creations. This world appeared as an intricate model on a table in Yen Sid's study, which is accessible through a mirror. Mickey, who finds himself inside Yen Sid's study by entering a mirror in his house, sees the model, and waits until Yen Sid is gone before going back to take another look at it. Fiddling with it, Mickey tries to create a model of himself but instead creates the Phantom Blot. Panicking, Mickey tries to erase it and accidentally spills paint and paint thinner onto the model. Hearing Yen Sid approaching, Mickey quickly tries to clean up with a sponge and flees back to his home. However, it's too late-the world Yen Sid created is turned into a wasteland. The Phantom Blot takes control of the ruined lands from its first resident-and Mickey's older half-brother-Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Oswald and the other residents of the Cartoon Wasteland fight against the Phantom Blot, but he eventually overwhelms them and twists their world into a dark and sinister version of itself, forcing Oswald into hiding.
Years later, Mickey has forgotten his past transgression until the Phantom Blot enters his home through the mirror and pulls him into the Cartoon Wasteland. Oswald, his will lost from years of hiding and his mind twisted by his jealousy of Mickey's rise to fame, has formulated a plan to destroy Mickey. In addition, The Mad Doctor works closely with the Blot, creating "Beetleworx"-robotic creatures made from parts of various Disney cartoon characters. He also creates animatronic "buddies" for Oswald, looking like decrepit robotic versions of Mickey's friends, as Oswald wants Mickey's life and popularity for himself. Armed with a magical paintbrush that he managed to pull into the world with him, Mickey must stop the Phantom Blot, gain Oswald's trust and save the Wasteland.
