Anyone who knows me well knows that my two loves in life are dystopian disaster sites and Disneyland. This, above, is therefore the COOLEST SHIT I HAVE EVER SEEN. An acquaintance at Gamasutra spent the better part of 10 whole minutes trying to explain the quasi-development of (codename) "Epic Mickey" before I started making horse noises and demanded to be linked to Livejournal.
While the politics of it strike me as complex and annoying as ever for the gaming industry, I personally think those are some of the most compelling pieces of concept art (not by Iain McCaig) I've ever seen. Again, this could be rooted in a deep-seeded childhood fascination with the psychological architecture of Disneyland, and a desire to see Epcot destoyed by a narwhal. And knowing Disney I would also be sort of surprised if it came out exactly as pictured. But then again Kingdom Hearts was pretty fucking weird.
