Rumor: Epic Mickey to feature complete classic Disney cartoons
In Nintendo Power’s big blowout of Epic Mickey this month, the magazine made note of one particular collectible, a film reel. The item remained a mystery, though, as Warren Spector wasn’t ready to talk about it at the time. The film reel actually popped up again at PAX over the weekend, and while we’re still not completely certain what it is, we may be one step closer to finding out.
During the game’s latest demonstration, a film reel called “Mickey and the Beanstalk” was obtained. A journalist asked, “Would Epic Mickey feature classic Mickey cartoons as unlockables for a younger audience that might not have experienced them before?” Warren Spector blushed, quickly shying away from the question, and only said something to the effect that it would be a great idea.
So, again, that by no means confirms anything. Still, Spector’s reaction does sort of imply that there could be something going on with classic cartoons in the game.
