Not even Disney characters are spared the reboot/reinvention treatment, with Mickey Mouse under going a transformation of sorts for a new game, “Epic Mouse”, which sees him pitted against those he displaced on his rise to stardom.
He’s still wearing the inexplicable white gloves, but he seems to have lengthened. Less cute, more athletic. And he has filled out at last – from his flat cartoon persona to the three-dimensional game hero, ready for action. Mickey’s world has transformed, too – traumatically, it seems. Says Spector: “We’ve pulled Mickey out of the world of cartoons, which is where he belongs and feels comfortable and safe”. Instead, Mickey finds himself in the “Cartoon Wasteland” – a realm of forgotten cartoon characters who have been eclipsed by the mouse’s meteoric rise.
