So, if you haven't guessed already, this is the ''[[Kingdom Hearts|other]]'' series that turns [[Mickey Mouse|our hero]] into a complete [[Badass]]. It's also being adapted into a couple of [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?|kids']] books and a prequel [[Web Comic]] and graphic novel written by [[Peter David]].
A sequel, ''[[Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two]]'' (selected from a batch of subtitles that also included ''Return of the Mad Doctor'' and ''Mystery on Mean Street'') was released on multiple consoles in 2012 and features co-op play, with a second player controlling Oswald, who flies like a helicopter and attacks with electricity. The game is also a musical, with Mickey's moral choices affecting the tunes, and among the new areas open in Wasteland is Frontierland. Marv Wolfman (''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'') co-wrote the script.
There is also a companion game for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] subtitled ''Power of Illusion'', developed by DreamRift, the folks behind ''[[Henry Hatsworth]]'' and ''[[Monster Tale]]''. Officially a followup to the [[Castle of Illusion]] series as well, the story has Mizrabel and the castle itself trapped in Wasteland. Seeking a way out, she tries draining the paint and cartoon essence out of famous toon residents of Mickey's world. Mickey must save his fellow toons and confront Mizrabel, repairing the damage with paint along the way.
''Take note:'' It seems how much one will enjoy this game is [[Love It or Hate It|extremely reliant on taste]]. Its pacing and design is heavily akin to [[Nintendo 64]] platformers like ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', except ''modernised''. Some will find the whole game brilliant, others will find it sub-par. The only real consensus is that [[Camera Screw|the camera can be rather wonky]] ([[Nerf Now|and perhaps]] [http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/431 a bit "Goofy"]),

* [[In Case You Forgot Who Wrote It]]: The game's initial concept was created by Matthew Stringer, Chris Takami, and the 8 college interns from Buena Vista Games in 2004, before [[Disney]] Interactive Studios brought in Warren Spector. [http://nerdacumen.com/what-they-probably-wont-tell-you-about-epic-mickey-at-e3/2010/06/15/#more-639 More about this here.]
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: At least on [[Video Game]] shows on, say, G4, they're ''very'' persistent in referring to it as '[[Disney]] '''Epic Mickey''''. As if we'd ever forget who [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey's]] affiliated with.
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: When [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] gets one of Hook's pirates to admit his love for Henrietta the Cow.

** You can befriend baddies, then knock them off a ledge, knock them into a space with an unpainted object, then paint in the object, and lots of other cruel methods that won't necessarily influence your [[Karma Meter]].
* [[Visual Pun]]: If you decide to be a good little Mickey and change back the animatronic pirates in Tortooga, one of the many symbols that the reversed machine will show is a screw and a baseball. [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Yeah.]]
* [[Voice Grunting]]: Yen Sid is the only one who gives any audio narration; everyone else simply grunts, with the actual dialogue in subtitles.
