History Awesome / EpicMickey

* The fact that Disney traded off a ''flesh-and-blood sportscaster'' to get WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit back, just for his appearance in the game.
** Not just any sportscaster, but Al Michaels, who is most well-known for his famous call of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYscemhnf88 "Do you believe in miracles? YES!]]

** "[[ContinuityPorn The mysterious intruder was gone. I did not learn his identity... Well, not for a very long time.]]"
** {{Meta}} example: The concepts behind ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'' were created ''[[http://nerdacumen.com/what-they-probably-wont-tell-you-about-epic-mickey-at-e3/2010/06/15/#more-639 by a group of college interns]].'' You know, the people who usually get coffee and run errands for full-time employees? Yeah, they just [[ContinuityReboot rebooted]] one of the most well-known franchises in media history. And, from the looks of things, they did one HECK of a good job.
* Tell me this -- What is more awesome than shooting fireworks to defeat the BigBad and save [[strike:the]] a world in the process?
** Wait a minute -- [[MythologyGag didn't]] WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} do that first?

You've done an incredibly good job of [[AnimationAgeGhetto making Mickey lame and irrelevant to anybody over the age of eight over the last 30 years]]. I don't do [[VideoGame games]] for kids.' They said, 'No, no, no! We want someone to reinvigorate this character, reinvent this character.' I literally said: 'You know, this is probably impossible, we're probably going to fail. I'm in.'''"

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c1kcRcJYms This video.]] Cartoon mouse or not, if you can break iron shackles with ''sheer willpower,'' and then follow ''that'' up by scaring away the local EldritchAbomination '''with a paintbrush,''' you're probably a {{Badass}}.

It's a piece that doesn't know if it wants to be bouncy old school cartoon music, or something far more epic and sinister. Hell, at times it's bouncily sinister...
