The internet has seemingly gone Epic Mickey crazy this afternoon, Warren Spector once again waxing lyrical on the game - a Wii exclusive set in a fantasy cartoon world.

Apparently, this new gesture-based game is just the beginning, with Disney apparently considering comics, films and and more in support of what is viewed as a new 'franchise'.

"I've had some discussions with people and really, really want to see some comics and cartoons and feature animation built around this. There have been discussions about all sorts of things talking about other possibilities around this project. I really hope it's going to happen and Im going to keep beating on that drum," Spector told Kotaku about his new opus.

"I certainly have big plans. Have they been approved? No. But I have had a lot of discussions about what is going to happen next. In my mind it's already a franchise [and] I really can't abide the thought that it will be okay or mediocre. We are going after Mario and Zelda, Ratchet and Clank, we all aspire to that."

More Epic Mickey soon, we imagine.
