Another dumb question... Is the new hit indie game series, Bendy and the Ink Machine, have roots in Epic Mickey? For those who don't know, the first game in the series is a survival/ light horror game about a retired animator who returns to the supposedly abandoned animation studio where he used to make cartoons. In reality, though, his former boss wants to trap him in a living 1930's cartoon nightmare. It's supposed to scare you out of your marbles, but it really is a puzzle game that is a tribute to the 1930's and classic cartoons, much like Epic Mickey is.

But the way that Bendy is most like Epic Mickey is in its dark portrayal of old films, and even Disney rides (one boss battle is against a Dumbo-like ride.). The main enemies of the game are Ink Creatures spawned by the deadly Ink Machine, and they're called Searchers, which sounds like Spatter, Slobber, etc.

So- a game based on classic Disney gone mad. Sound familiar?

I've enabled message walls on user profiles to make communication and collaboration between users easier. Fandom claims that they're doing a major overhaul and the message wall feature will likely be replaced yet again with something new, but they've offered no timeframe. Because we're all tired of waiting, this should do just fine for the time being.

Nothing has changed on wiki articles; this only applies to the talk pages on user profiles. The old talk pages are archived and can be accessed by clicking the See archived talk page link at the bottom of the message walls.

If you have any concerns or questions, don't hesitate to ask. Cheers!

Not sure how to get them, but I feel like it would be pretty cool to have Models of the characters and enemies from the games. I know we have some of the textures of some characters but I'm not all sure on how possible it is to rip the full models. 🤔

Just curious.

It's been 10 years and we still don't know the origins to the Tomorrow City Hopper and Spinner. I'm assuming that maybe there has to be SOMETHING that's Science Fiction during the Walt Disney age that they appear in. Any ideas?

So Epic Mickey has a ton of Cameo characters whether paintings, Beetleworx armor, giant floats, etc. Characters that have not physically appeared in the games, and we have quite a few stub pages on most of these characters even though there's really not much we can do with them. My plan on this is that maybe we could create a Cameos page that lists each character and all the Cameos they made in the franchise along with an image of said cameo. This would make things much more organized and less confusing on like Chip n Dale being in Epic Mickey 2.

I feel like the Dog, Got, Horse, and Cow characters should get a page similar to the "Gremlin Color" pages. I think the Male Dog and Female Goat page should simply be changed to Dog and Goat and the addition of a Cow and Horse page. Probably would be much cleaner especially since all the other types of toons have these sort of pages (Ex: Pirates, Playing Cards, Lonesome Ghosts).

Would it be a viable idea to upgrade to MediaWiki? I've been wandering this since it would make editing (especially for Mobile users) much more accessible, easier when moving/deleting pages, and overall less buggy. I know that some wikis like the Splatoon Inkipedia used to be Fandom but made the change and was wondering if it would be good to change here too.
