Disney Epic Mickey In Development

Posted by Brett Caron on October 30th, 2009

Epic-Mickey-Videogame-Confirmed-by-Disney-2Disney Interactive Studios has announced that Mickey Mouse will be taking his adventures beyond Kingdom Hearts. Along with Junction Point, Disney is developing a new platform-adventure gaming starring the 81-year old anthropomorphic rodent.

In Disney Epic Mickey, the mouse pulls an inFAMOUS and unwittingly devastates the world of the Cartoon Wasteland, where old and retired cartoon characters go – which ironically sounds like Florida without Disneyland.

Mickey stumbles into this realm and must choose to be a hero or to just get the hell out as fast as he can, since being the mouse that inadvertently rained destruction on this world he isn’t exactly popular. Sounds good, especially with the combat style being approached from the 4th-wall breaking idea of paints and thinners.  I’ve always wanted to erase Donald Duck anyway.

So playing Fable as Mickey Mouse, huh? Sounds interesting. We’ll keep an eye on it for you.

Cheers.

Buffalo mascot and the big fish that represents baseball team the Florida
Marlins.

China Bans ‘Simpsons’ During Primetime

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 15th, 2006

China’s ruling Communist Party has banned American cartoons like “The Simpsons” and “Mickey Mouse” during prime time television viewing hours.

The BBC reports that the move is meant to protect Chinese animators and culture from the growing popularity of Western entertainment. The country’s government is said to be worried about the impact of foreign culture on Chinese youth.

According to the state media, foreign cartoons will not be aired on television between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., starting September 1. Programs that mix animation and live characters will be included in the ban.

Media outlets in China were quick to lash out against the move.

“This is a worrying, shortsighted policy and will not solve the fundamental problems in China’s cartoon industry,” said the Southern Metropolis News. “The viewing masses, whether adults or children, will have no choice but to passively support Chinese products.”

Currently in China, and based on a government order issued just two years ago, homegrown cartoons must account for at least 60% of the total animated shows broadcast in prime time.
