Junction Point boss Warren Spector has told ONM that ambitious new title Epic Mickey will bring much-loved mouse Mickey back centre stage where he belongs.
As part of an in-depth interview with ONM due to be published in our landmark 50th issue, we sat down with the legendary game developer to find out more about his upcoming project.
"This is a labour of love for me. I've always been a Disney fan and I love Mickey - I love the character. It's pretty obvious to anybody that looks at the character today in broad strokes what we need to do to bring him back to the top of the cartoon heap," Spector told ONM.

"In literally my first talks with Disney when they laid out their hopes for the project, we wanted to bring Mickey back to the world - to a whole new audience that doesn't know him as a hero. And we want to bring him to gamers and make him a hero that they want to be."
You can read much, much more about Epic Mickey in ONM issue 50, on sale from 20th November. But in the meantime, why not take a peek at the issue on sale now?
