Line 87:
* [[Comic Book Limbo]]: This is essentially the setting.
* [[Conspicuously Light Patch]]: The main way of identifying what you can use Paint or Thinner on. Surfaces with bright, vibrant colors are composed of Paint, while thinned objects leave ghostly silhouettes behind. Additionally, anything you can spin move to activate or smash for shineys flashes iridescent.
* [[Continuity Reboot]]: The fact that Oswald continued his career in animation and comics with [[Universal]] after Disney lost him, and even eventually looked like an [http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/cgc-graded-comics/4880-1.jpg actual rabbit], is [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity|completely ignored.]]
** Not necessarily ignored. Since Yen Sid himself didn't even exist (and thus could not have created the Wasteland) until 1940 and [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit|Oswald's]] last real appearance was about 1943, it's more likely the implication is that he continued to struggle as an "actor" for quite a few years before finally fading away completely into Mickey's shadow.
* [[Covered in Kisses]]: {{spoiler|Oswald in the ending.}}
Line 185:
* [[Market-Based Title]]: For some reason, the words of the title were swapped in the German version, so it's called "[[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] Epic".
** The Japanese version just added to the title so it's called "Disney Epic Mickey: Mickey Mouse and the Magic Brush".
* [[The Merch]]: Showing up in [[Disney Theme Parks]] this year is a lot of merch featuring old [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] (including at least one shirt featuring a shot of him from ''Gallopin' Gaucho'', a short that fell into company [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity]] for having [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] light a cigarette -with his foot- among other things.) This game is why.
** Of course, the whole "needing to make money from these properties in order to continue holding an extended copyright to them" thing probably helps, too. If [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit|Oswald]] becomes a regular member of the [[Disney]] crew, you can thank this game.
** [[Disney]]'s also planning some more directly ''Epic Mickey''-themed merch, most notably [http://kotaku.com/5532673/disneys-dark-epic-mickey-also-coming-to-childrens-book-form books,] [http://wii.nintendolife.com/news/2010/06/epic_mickey_paintbrush_controller_and_charging_station a paintbrush-shaped Nunchuck shell, and an elaborate Wii Remote charger featuring sculptures of Mickey and the Shadow Blot.] Disney seems a very confident in this game.
