Epic Mickey is a 2010
action-adventure platforming video game designed by
Warren Spector and developed by
Junction Point Studios for the
Wii console. The game focuses on
Mickey Mouse, who accidentally damages a world created by
Yen Sid for forgotten characters and concepts, and is forced to fix the world while combating antagonists with a magic
paintbrush. Epic Mickey notably features the first appearance of
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit since 1928 as a major character, who was one of
Walt Disney's first successful cartoon characters before the character was licensed under the ownership of
Universal Studios. The character was regained by
The Walt Disney Company in 2006 under the guidance of
Bob Iger. The game is much darker and complex than previous Mickey Mouse games.
