And anytime you bring up Wall-E, I have to bring up that that was not only a Pixar project but I believe one that was completed prior to their acquisition by Disney.

And regardless of any of that it's still a Disney movie, so...

I recall a show on TV experimenting whether lightning can hurt you underwater. The answer was that the lightning's power dissipates over distance so the further you are away from the impact site the less energy you are exposed to. It does penetrate into the water and several meters away you still get hit with enough energy to plasmatize the air. Plus a part of the water surface evaporates instantly.

Not really, considering I have no problem hating Activision and loving Blizzard (and the Pixar/Disney relationship isn't much different).  :P

I don't even hate Disney anyway, obviously.  I just find their modern animation division lacking in anything approaching quality or entertainment.  The upcoming The Princess and the Frog may change that, but I'm not holding out hope.  Even if it is good, it took a Pixar person to make that happen.   ;)

Yeah, Hades is immortal so it is unfair to include him. Plus he strikes me as more of a wheeling and dealing type of schemer. I find it hard for him to be in direct combat with anyone for any reason. He gets others to do his bidding.

Taken from GoNintendo, a summary of announced thigns in the game.

- Mickey's appearance is much, much closer to his original debut style

- Disney was the one to approach Spector

- Spector originally was against the idea of creating a Mickey game, because he said that he didn't do kids games

- Spector changed his mind when Disney said that they were looking for someone to 'reinvigorate' Mickey

- Disney had to get back the rights to Oswald before he could be used in this game

- the sorcerer Yensid creates a pen-and-paper world for his forgotten creations, which is where Oswald lives

- this world is similar to Walt Disney World

- Mickey enters this world through a magic mirror, and accidentally spills paint and paint thinner on the drawing of this world. Mickey escapes before Yensid finds out.

- The spill that Mickey caused ends up turning the drawing into a twisted version of what was originally created.

- the Phantom Blot ends up taking over this world

- many years later, after Mickey becomes successful, he re-enters the mirror and sees what has happened to the world.
The Phantom Blot drags Mickey into the world, which is where your adventure begins

- use the Wiimote to paint in buildings, platforms and more

- swipe away enemies with the Wiimote when using paint thinner

- create/destroy the world as you go along

- Junction Point took hundreds of photos while at Disney World in order to capture the essence of the park, and translate ideas into the game

- play the game as you like, either destroying everything in sight, or taking the hero's route. It's completely up to you, and you can mix-and-match play styles

- Gremlin Village is reminiscent of 'It's a Small World'

- Mickey's appearance and stance will change based on the way you play the game

- trade some items for health

- Pete returns, and at one point attacks you with a huge zepplin

- Donald Duck animatronic pieces are scattered throughout one portion of the game. Collect them to put him back together.

- Spector wants this game to scare kids, in some ways

- the game will also have funny parts

- Spector calls the game world's visuals 'the bastard child of Tim Burton and Disney'

- elements of platforming, exploration and role-playing

- go into the inner-workings of some levels and rides

- visit the gears and mechanics underneath the 'It's a Small World' ride, complete with an eerie re-imagining of the music

- enter movie screens to move from in-game island to island

- movie screen transitions put you into a 2d world, where you'll revisit some of Mickey's old cartoons

- find sketches, and bring them to life with your paintbrush

- sketches can be activated to give you new powers (clock sketch to slow time, TV sketch to distract enemies, and more)

- collect 'E-Tickets' to enter rides, and use as a form of currency to buy power-ups

- Jim Dooley 'Pushing Daises' is doing the soundtrack

Sounds good. and here are 7 Horrifying moments from Classic Kids Movies

Disney Movies make up 4 of the 7 on the list. Maybe you'll enter those scenes in some form or another in the game.

edit:
the rest of the GoNintendo summary
Quote
Warren Spector on Mickey

"I want him to be a hero...and I want to remind him that it's okay to behave badly."

Warren on Oswald

"All he really wants is to be loved by Walt Disney. In the end, the Blot won the war and pushed Oswald into hiding and exile."

Warren on the Gremlins

"The Gremlins are the only forces of good in the world that can continue to fight against the Blot.

Warren on the Bunny Kids

"These are going to be the breakout stars of the game. Mark my words."

Warren on the Buddies (Donald, Goofy, ect.)

"Oswald is trying to recreate Mickey's life, so he has the Mad Doctor build these animatronic versions of his buddies."

Warren on the Mad Doctor

"He's from an early 30's cartoon that is pretty swell."

Warren on the Phantom Blot

"The Phantom Blot has been a consistent villain since 1939. He's just been lame."

Warren on the Blotlings

"They're the popcorn unit. You need something that the player can just swat away. They're supposed to be funny, silly and stupid."

Warren on the Beetleworx

"In order to deal with these guys, you have to erase their painted bits to get to the vulnerable inert spots underneath."

I just seen the GI scans online, and even though the game doesn't quite fit what I pictured based on the concept art, I still think it looks pretty good. The atmosphere is dark, the environments look nice but a little more colorful than what I expected. Mickey looks a little weird, closer to his original debut style, but Oswald & the Bunny Kids looks great in 3D.

if you want to know where you can see the scans too... LMGT4U

all of those are overrated trash, lost vikings is an okay game, but not great.

rock n roll racing is the true jewel in the blizzard crown.

*looks at the scans*

And reality comes crashing down, as those screenshots look like...just about any cartoon platformer I've ever seen.  It particularly reminds me of Psychonauts, and that's not a good thing.  Some of the artwork is very nice, some not.  I guess we'll just have to hope that the screenshots don't really tell the full story.

As covered in another topic, I found Psychonauts to be spectacularly average, with particularly awful platforming.
