God I love Day9. I don’t have as much time to watch him like I used to (before wife and kids), but I’m glad he posts streams to YouTube.
This is off-topic, but the video of revisiting his Amnesia playthrough made my freaking year.
I agree with your post, though. 99% of the time, Day9 has an amazing grasp of how to communicate ideas and mechanics clearly. It’s that 1% that just kills me! 😂
This is why we need copyright expirations. Disney would most likely have sued with a cease and desist to remove it.
Does it use the likeness of old Disney properties? Yes… but it doesn’t hurt their image. Doesn’t take any profit away from them.
It’s also not a cash grab like those crappy Winnie the Pooh slasher movies. This pays homage to the art style of the time.
The only thing they could have done differently was use something different than a mouse… like what Cuphead did. Studio MDHR came up with unique characters and it paid off for them by getting their own animated series and merchandising. I don’t think Mouse P.I. for Hire will get the same type of deals, but time will tell.
Disney does not, nor did it ever, own the copyright to an entire state of animation. To my knowledge, it can’t even be done. It’d be like trying to copyright a particular painting technique.
I doubt Disney would give a shit about this game unless it was explicitly using Disney ripoffs or actual Disney IP. Which it isn’t.
September 23! I’m excited. I played the demo during next fest and the only thing I wish it had was more build space. They only gave a tiny little circle to build in.
I’m happy they’re keeping this going but the thing I liked best in the original was watching the player’s avatar just absolutely jamming away on the trombone despite how silly it sounded
