Epic Mickey Rebrushed review

System: Switch
Release date: September 24, 2024
Developer: Purple Lamp
Publisher: THQ Nordic


I’ve had a 2010 Wii copy of Epic Mickey sitting on my shelf for years, and as much as I had intended to experience Warren Spector’s twisted Mickey Mouse tale well before this point, for one reason or another I’ve just never gotten around to it. In this case, my patience definitely paid off. Developer Purple Lamp – who is quickly garnering a positive reputation for their work in the 3D platforming space – has invested considerable effort to free this ambitious game from the Wii’s limitations and make it accessible to modern audiences. While the Switch version of Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed has some disappointing performance issues here and there, overall, this remake is a stunning effort that deserves to be experienced by fans of both Disney and platformers alike.

Epic Mickey pitch

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.

Epic Mickey: Rebrushed footage

Epic Mickey 3 Warren Spector

Epic Mickey director Warren Spector says he would love to develop Epic Mickey 3. However, don’t expect it anytime soon.

Spector was asked about the possibility on LinkedIn. Despite having a “high level idea” in mind for a new game, he’s currently busy at his current studio OtherSide and projects going on there. Spector noted: “I’d love to do Epic Mickey 3 but I have a day job that would make that impossible.”
