Warren Spector's comments about a potential Epic Mickey movie.
An Epic Mickey film was pitched by Warren Spector at one point, along with a trailer made by Powerhouse Animation Studios.
It was presumably based on the original Epic Mickey game. Development never began beyond initial pitches due to Disney's lack of interest.
History[]
Very little is known about the movie, as the proposal was very quickly turned down by Disney for reasons currently unknown (Although one likely reason could be that they didn't want a video game movie with their most iconic mascot, as those types of movies were major flops at the time). In a Reddit AMA, Warren Spector mentioned he had sent Disney a few renders and a pitch trailer, but Disney still wasn't interested in the project.[1]
Although the pitch trailer in its entierty was never released, Powerhouse Animations Studios showcased a few clips of the trailer in their 2013 demo reel.
Trivia[]
- Even before the Reddit AMA, Warren had mentioned his interest in a film a few times.
