"Disney has some of the most recognizable characters in the world, and it's regularly putting out new movies and TV series that immediately create pop culture icons. The likes of Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy have been progressively joined by a wide variety of other great and memorable characters, whether it's from TV shows like Darkwing Duck and Gargoyles or its prestige array of big-screen fairy tale adaptations like The Little Mermaid and Cinderella."
"The real treat for Disney fans, though, was its story that served as a meta-commentary on Disney history. The chief antagonist of the game was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, an actual old and unused Disney character. In the context of the story, Oswald was resentful that Mickey had taken over his spot as the recognizable mascot of the Disney brand. This marked the first time Mickey and Oswald had ever appeared together in anything, seeing as the plot revolved around the mouse replacing Oswald."
Disney produces globally recognizable characters and continuously creates new movies and TV series that generate pop culture icons. Those characters have been adapted into countless video games across multiple eras, creating a microcosm of game development. Output slowed after the 8- and 16-bit eras, but standout titles and new releases continue to appear. Warren Spector convinced Disney to fund a different 3D platformer for Wii that showcased a classic, mischievous Mickey Mouse and treated the Wii Remote as a paintbrush. The game's storyline served as meta-commentary on Disney history, centering on Oswald the Lucky Rabbit's resentment and eventual reconciliation with Mickey.
