Epic Mickey

See here, or don't, because it's a slow site.

Anyway, From what I gather, you play as Mickey mouse, in a sort of Semi-real steampunk Disneyland. The place looks a little untidy right now.

It looks like it will be very different to Disney's usual output, going by what's been seen so far.

We've always expected a dose of nightmare fuel occasionally in Disney's works.

This is just an example.

Holy shit, I think I'm in love.

The artwork is interesting, but I'm going to reserve judgement until we get something more solid. I don't trust Disney not to screw it up.

That's...uh...I'll go with terrifying. And awesome, don't forget that.

The pictures made me go 'Ooooooh...' out of my liking for Disney and steampunk. I must now wait.

... Is it April again already?

Please, Disney, let this be as dark and weird and creepy as this initial artwork is making it look. Don't try to tidy it up into a "family" game. Let those of us who have outgrown princesses and pixie dust have our Disney dreams too.

Wow...

It looks like a mix between Fallout and Kingdom Hearts. I'm not sure what to say.

If the game ends up being half as good as that art, then Disney may is on its way to becoming the next gaming Juggernaut, which is something I thought I'd never say.

Disney's not even pretending they're not bringing the Nightmare Fuel anymore, are they?

3 Words: Made of Win.

The enemy at the bottom looks interesting. If you dig around you can find more concept art for the game on the site.

EDIT: These appear to be from the same game.

I don't even like Disney for the most part and I still think that's mind-blowingly awesome.

Is that a Zombie Goofy? Guess Sora needs that chainsaw, now!

I wet myself.

...And I'm not sure if it's because of the Nightmare Fuel or because of the AWESOME!

Monstro in the concept art is crazy awesome.

I bet we'll be hearing accusations of 'CHILDHOOD KILLING' from other quarters of the internet shortly. New accusations, that is.

I think I just orgasmed.

Man, and I thought Kingdom Hearts was a weird concept.

what is this i don't even

What's with the last picture? Paint Thinner?

Also: I thought that it said "Warren Ellis's Steampunk Disney Game".

Steampunk?

Looks a bit more like slaughterhouse-industrial (aka Silent Hill).

PS: I would prefer castle engine (aka Dr. Frankentstein's Laboratory) as the steampunk style.

I bet we'll be hearing accusations of 'CHILDHOOD KILLING' from other quarters of the internet shortly. New accusations, that is.

If we do, we can safely ignore them. One thing that is obvious from looking at this concept art is that the artist has done his homework in spades, and thus has the utmost respect for the source material.
