Epic Mickey/Characters

Disney Epic Mickey features a cast of characters, mostly based on Disney properties.

Mickey Mouse
"Voiced by: Bret Iwan"

The Main Character is none other than Disney's own Mascot, based on his early appearances as a mischevious mouse. His attempts to use Yen Sid's magical paintbrush accidentally led to him creating the game's main antagonist, the Shadow Blot, and causing the Thinner Disaster which ruined the Wasteland.

 * Art Attacker
 * The Atoner
 * Badass Adorable
 * Cain and Abel: The Abel to Oswald's Cain.
 * The Determinator
 * The Hero
 * Sociopathic Hero if you play towards the Darker and Edgier side of the morality system.
 * Improbable Weapon User: Mickey wields Yen Sid's magical paintbrush, shooting Paint and Thinner at enemies and the environment alike.
