Mickey manages to grab the magic paintbrush before he is pulled in, so he can create and erase things with paint and thinner.

The Doctor promptly stabs Oswald in the back (as he had always wanted to) and sides with the Blot, if just to further his own agenda.ĭecades later, having long forgotten the incident, Mickey is suddenly pulled into Wasteland from his home via the Blot. Despite Mickey's attempt to hide his transgression, the not-so-dead Blot persists and enters Wasteland via the hole there, it takes over Wasteland, twisting it into a sinister and dangerous version of the original, and drives Oswald and any resistance into hiding during the conflict, henceforth called "The Blot Wars". and ends up spilling even more thinner on the model, creating a gaping hole in it, and then flees back to his bedroom via the mirror before the wizard returns. Hearing Yen Sid approaching, Mickey tries to erase the Blot and quickly clean up. Content with his progress, Yen Sid goes off to sleep, while Mickey decides to put his own touch on Wasteland-he spots the magic paintbrush Yen Sid was using and begins to fiddle with it, but accidentally creates a monster called the Shadow Blot and spills paint and paint thinner all over the model.

Shortly after arriving, he sees Yen Sid put the finishing touches on Wasteland. Later on, Mickey himself stumbles into Yen Sid's tower, after being lured in by the wizard's mischevious (or malicious) magic mirror.

In a vain effort to emulate the life he never had, he makes a very large family with his feline girlfriend Ortensia, and has the Mad Doctor build robotic copies of Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Goofy to help him recreate the adventures Mickey went on - but even this fails to fill the void. Soon after, Oswald teams up with The Mad Doctor, another early resident of Wasteland - together, they create the robotic Beetleworx, which serve as construction tools for Wasteland, as well as relocators for new residents of the world, and together they try to make Wasteland a comfortable home for the other lost Disney characters who later join them - but Oswald grows resentful of his younger brother over time due to his increasing popularity. Oswald takes this world as his own, presenting himself as a king there. This world, called Wasteland (based on the Disney Theme Parks), exists as a small model on a table within Yen Sid's tower. Fortunately, he becomes the first resident of a world created by the wizard Yen Sid for forgotten and rejected Disney creations and ideas. The story begins with Walt Disney's original cartoon star, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, after finally getting Walt some success and recognition, being taken from him over both a budget dispute and a contract loophole, fading into obscurity, and being replaced by his younger half-brother Mickey Mouse.

In an ambitious effort to help Disney restore Mickey Mouse's iconic status, it brings back the happy memories of Disney's classic short subjects and feature length films from their Golden Age, Silent Age, Dark Age, and Renaissance Age as well as attractions from the Disney Theme Parks of old. Epic Mickey is a Disney game for the Wii developed by Junction Point, spearheaded by Warren Spector of Deus Ex and System Shock fame and published by Disney Interactive Studios.
