The Stretching Room is the second room of the Lonesome Manor in Epic Mickey.
In Epic Mickey[]
The room is heavily based on the one of the same name at the Haunted Mansion in the Disney parks. It's a circular room with three tall paintings on the walls and gears in the middle that allow the floor to shift upwards or downwards. After the paintings are mixed up by Poltergeists, Mickey is tasked with putting them back in order so that the spirits can allow him to pass.
Each painting has three vertically stacked sections; each section can be thinned to reveal a room behind, sometimes containing secrets. Mickey must start at the bottom floor make his way up to the top, using his Spin Move on each section to rotate them to the correct position. In the middle of the room, there is a central gear and three gears surrounding it. One of the outer gears is inert and the other two are toon, so they can be painted in or thinned. If none of the toon gears are painted in, the elevator goes to the ground floor. Painting one of the toon gears brings the elevator to the second story. Painting both of them brings it to the third story. After painting in the desired amount of gears, the central gear can be spun to change floors.
By doing this, Mickey can solve the puzzle himself. Doing so gives him access to the exit door, allowing him to progress through the Projector Screen to the Library after getting past the Blotlings guarding the passage.
However, there is a second option to get to the Library. Hidden in a small room behind the TNT man painting on the second story is Gremlin Sydney trapped in a cage. He can be found by thinning out and entering the painting and turning the gear within. After being freed, he offers to restore the paintings for Mickey, allowing him to skip the majority of the puzzle. The exit doors open and Mickey can progress through the Projector Screen to the next area after getting past the Blotlings.

Trivia[]
- All the paintings are different from their actual incarnations. Most obviously are the old woman on the grave (multiple heads on the grave instead of one) and the men on top of each other (stuck in a lake instead of quicksand).
- There is one painting missing from this version, which features a young woman on a tightrope that was slowly about to collaspe above a river.
