Epic Donald: Everything We Know About The Canceled Epic Mickey Spinoff
Disney and video game fans alike have recently discovered an Epic Mickeyspin-off game, Epic Donald, that was unfortunately scrapped. Epic Mickey was released in 2010 for the Nintendo Wii, with Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two releasing in November 2012 for all platforms (Playstation 4 and PC came at a later date than the initial release). Both games were decently received, with positive reviews on the story and the art design and less positive reviews on the camera and control issues.

Mickey wields a magic paintbrush used to restore Wasteland, a land that is based on various locations of Walt Disney World and Disneyland.
