Mizrabel is the main antagonist of Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and its spiritual successor, Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion. She's a witch known for her mastery of illusion.
In Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse[]
Mizrabel originally lived within the Toon World. One day when Mickey and Minnie were peacefully strolling through the forest, she became jealous of Minnie’s beauty, so jealous that she decided to kidnap her. Mickey ended up chasing the Witch all the way to Mizrabel’s Castle, the Castle of Illusion.
In Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion[]
Mizrabel reappears as the main antagonist of Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion and a forgotten character in Wasteland. She finds herself as an unwilling inhabitant of Wasteland, and unleashes a plot to escape using the Castle of Illusion to imprison and drain the cartoon essence from famous Toons still in the Toon World.
Mickey first meets her in Castle East Hall, where she taunts him with Minnie imprisoned behind her whilst stealing Maleficent's appearance.
In ???, Mickey finds her again and battles her in the final showdown. Mizrabel will take the form of Maleficent in her dragon form, and either reach her head down to bite Mickey, or burst out a set of green flames which reach across both sides.
Mickey needs to Paint in the surrounding thorn bushes when her head drops to the ground, then attack her whilst she's stunned. When she attacks with the flames, Mickey needs to paint in the thorn bushes again as a defense shield. Depending on how well the bush has been painted, it may need to be thinned out as the flames reach above, making it impossible for Mickey to move past them.
After her defeat, she informs Mickey that this isn't the last he's seen of her, and vanishes.
Trivia[]
- In the original Castle of Illusion game, she looks just like the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The remake of the first game redesigned her to give her a slightly more distinct appearance, though she still looks very much like the Evil Queen. In Power of Illusion, she constantly shapeshifts into various Disney villains, the form she uses the most being that of Maleficent, but never shows her real appearance.
- Interestingly, the Evil Queen design is once again used to represent Mizrabel on the cover of Power of Illusion.
- According to Peter Ong, the reason why Mizrabel looks like Maleficent throughout Power of Illusion is due to her simply being one of her favorite forms.[1]
- Mizrabel's name is a pun for miserable. It even goes with the plot of Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion due to her being miserable in Wasteland.
- The music that plays in the boss fight against her is a remix of the boss theme from Castle of Illusion.
