Gamasutra has seen concept art and information that indicates a title codenamed "Epic Mickey" may be in development at the Austin-based, Disney-owned developer.
Aww, how cute.

Hmm, that's a little weird, but okay.

I have to give Disney credit for growing up along with their older audience with some of their more recent ideas, games, etc. This actually looks intriguing. I'll certainly keep my eyes and ears perked for some video footage once released.
This looks absolutely surreal. :o
they're not really "growing up with their audience" because their original audience is in their 70s now
it's just them realising that there's a bigger market out there over the "family friendly, straight to dvd CG little girl become princesses or fairies" audience.
this whole thing is just a gimmick, it might be a good game and I'm not saying it won't be, if it is I will buy it.
but disney is still the same old disney
Awesome! o:
I have this game and have to say this is a must have title for the Wii. Graphics are almost comparable to the 360 or PS3, and you make full use of the controllers (all the buttons are used)
