After Mickey’s Makeover, Less Mr. Nice Guy

[tony67]

Maybe they should get the guys from South Park to Update Mickey Mouse.

They did a great job in the episode, "The Ring" - In this episode the Jonas Brothers don't want to wear their purity rings, but Mr. Mouse explains how it's gonna be.

Hmmm. does "Coke" or "Classic Coke" ring a bell?

Yes, but probably because a PP mentions it on page one

When he gets really angry does he morph into Bob Iger?

No, Michael Eisner, which could possibly be worse............ I think.

I have seen the concept art for this game and it is gonna be... well.. EPIC! The ruins of all the theme parks on the back of monstro the whale. An omage to the MK tunnel system with a totally over industrialized city that has been dug up and is now on the surface. Since the tunnels are above ground... Cinderella's castle is high in the sky. And I have 5 word for you... Cyborg Mutant Scorpian Country Bears!

There is not need for alarm her thought folks. It's just for the game. It's not like this is how Mickey is gonna roll all over the world from now on. "Epic" Mickey is not gonna be walking around the parks. And even if he eventually does, it's not gonna be any different then "Sorcerer" Mickey or "Safari" Mickey. That's the great thing about the mouse, he's like... Madonna. He can reinvent all the time and still be Mickey.

Actually, this was not Warren Spector's idea. Disney approached him with the idea about reinventing Mickey. They showed him a whole bunch of artist rendering after he said no (he didn't want to work on a kid's game because he felt they have ruined Mickey over the years) and he completely did a 180. What they did not know was that Spector is a Disniac. Has a whole bunch of memorabilia and the like and knows the history. He however was the one who wanted Oswald in the game.

It's gonna be interested that the first time in YEARS Disney uses the real original made by Walt... they use him as a villian character o.o I wonder if we'll start seeing him used more and more after this game. Like in the parks for meet and greet. That would be weeeeird.

Well in all fairness, Universal had sold the rights for Oswald and Disney JUST got them back.

I know, but I'm sure they have been making plans for him ever since the day he was back in their control. It's going to be interested to see how they market him. If the video game is the FIRST place they reveal him to the world, he'll start off his return to his home company as a villainous character. Wonder what Walt would think about that.

I read a review somewhere that mentioned The Inkblot was also involved (a villain from a very old Mickey cartoon). Makes you wonder if maybe Oswald is duped into playing the role of the bad guy.

The ink blot is the main villain. Mickey is in the wasteland searching for Oswald for his help. Needless to say Oswald isn't too happy to see his more famous brother make a return. I think along the way he becomes an ally though.

Now, however, concerned that Mickey has become more of a corporate symbol than a beloved character for recent generations of young people, Disney is taking the risky step of re-imagining him for the future.

Well most of that is because the Disney Channel sucks now a days. I remember growing up there was a ton of Mickey cartoons on the network. You couldn't miss him. Also I'm not talking about weird mutant 3D Mickey that I caught a glimpse of a year/so ago on the new Disney Channel aimed at little pre-schoolers.

I'm talking old school animation. Take the Disney Channel back to some of its old roots and instill some good wholesome values in children growing up now. Enough of this Hannah Craptana stuff.

I can't remember the last time I actually saw a Disney toon/character on the Disney Channel.

I think the bottom line is Miss Craptana makes Disney a lot of moola.

I love watching the ol' Walt Disney cartoons on the WDW resorts channel - or has more Stacy replaced that channel?
