Epic Disney Racers (also called Disney Rides!) is a cancelled racing game that was to feature characters from both Disney animated movies and cartoons, and characters from the Epic Mickey series. The game never left conceptual stage and was scrapped following Junction Point Studios closure.
Gameplay[]
According to the few existing concept art for the game, one of the potential feature for the game was to have multiple characters in one car. such as shown in the concept art for Mickey and Oswald, as well as Scrooge and Huey, Dewey, and Louie. How this would have worked is unknown, but it's possible it would've worked similarly to Mario Kart: Double Dash, in which one character drives whereas the other uses items. It seems each racer would've a different ability/weapon, for example, Huey, Dewey and Louie would've been able to throw money bags behind them, where they would explode. Mickey would have had access to his Paintbrush, while Oswald would've used his remote.
Characters[]
Characters seen in concept art that were presumably intended to be playable, include:
- Mickey Mouse
- Minnie Mouse
- Oswald the Lucky Rabbit
- The Mad Doctor
- Scrooge McDuck & Huey, Dewey and Louie
- Cruella De Vil
Stage[]
The only possible stage shown through concept art was Agrabah, as seen above, in which the palace and the streets of the city can be seen.

Trivia[]
- Had this game been completed and not cancelled it would have been the second spin off game in the Epic Mickey series. The first being Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion.
- It is possible that the quest; Rebuilding Autotopia, in Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, was used as an inspiration for the game given that concept art shows Mickey and Oswald sharing a car, in an exact same design as the one used in the quest.
- Later on, a similar game, Disney Speedstorm, was released, with Oswald and Ortensia making appearances as racers.
