Okay, while I’ll admit the actual game play has a few issues that could do with some serious renovation *cough camera cough*

I am loving Epic Mickey so far.

The whole run-down feel of it and the sheer number of references to the old cartoons is just amazing, not to mention the whole look of the game and the concept art you can unlock. The music is just off-kilter enough to be unsettling and the parody Disney World setting is a wonderful idea. It’s just so melancholy and tragically upbeat- there’s a delightfully horrifying sense of irony to it all, especially the fact that Mickey himself has forgotten all these character who made him as famous as he is today. I don’t know, maybe it’s being such a film and animation geek but I just adore that Disney had the balls to do this with their own history.

Oh, and dismembered animatronic Goofy?

Genius.
