Epic Mickey pitch video discovered

Over the past few days, a pitch video has been making the rounds for an internal pitch made to Disney which would end up being Epic Mickey. Twitter / X account Epic Mickey Wiki circulated the news.

Thomas Heimann actually shared the clip towards the start of the year. Heimann says he “personally animated all the shots from the beginning to when Mickey goes down the hole, then everything after he starts to fly”. Animators Jessie Slate and Mike Boyce also worked on the piece.

You may have seen bits and pieces from the pitch over the years. However, this is the first time that we’ve seen the video in its entirety, and with voice acting to boot.

The full Epic Mickey pitch video can be found below.
