The Beanstalk Factory is a cut location in Wasteland that was removed from first Epic Mickey game.
Description[]
The Beanstalk Factory resembles a hybrid between Willie the Giant's castle and a 19th-century factory, notably with three large chimneys. It is located on a cloud that is itself supported by a beanstalk. The Beanstalk Factory is on the very edge of Wasteland.
According to Chase Jones, the Beanstalk Factory was originally designed as a 2D level but was scrapped due to the developers moving to more defined things and the "platforming vs choice" which never came through in a fun way.[1]
Appearances[]
Much like Wonderland, the Beanstalk Factory is a scrapped location that still appears on the Wasteland map, in the introduction cutscene of Epic Mickey. It was presumably based on the "Mickey and the Beanstalk" cartoon.
The Beanstalk Factory is visible on concept-arts published in The Art of Epic Mickey as well as in the map of Wasteland displayed on the Epic Mickey Digicomics app; the altered version of the same map is also used as the first page of every Tales of Wasteland stories. Notably, Claudio Sciarrone's rendering of the Factory in the comics is a bit less castle-like than the one from the concept-arts.
The Beanstalk Factory is absent in the Wasteland Map's redesign in Epic Mickey 2: The Power Of Two.
Trivia[]
- In the final game, the Lonesome Manor rests where the Beanstalk Factory was.
- Unlike Wonderland, this level was never planned to appear in any other games.
