Disney Epic Mickey 2 – A Game for Everyone, to the Power of Two

[Commander Fury]

In November 2010, Disney Interactive released Disney Epic Mickey, a game my studio created featuring Mickey Mouse in his first videogame appearance after many years away from the interactive screen. The opportunity to work with a character as well-known as Mickey would have been incentive enough for us, but Disney offered us something else - the chance to bring Walt Disney's first cartoon star, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, back to the world after 80-some years.

 

The <a href="http://www.junctionpoint.com/">Junction Point</a> team jumped at this chance to play a part in Disney's history, creating a world and a story that honored the past while resolutely looking toward the future.
