One of the reasons the game was quite popular was the reintroduction of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. It was the first time Mickey and Oswald appeared together. 

“Epic Mickey: Rebrushed” is being touted as a ” “faithful remake” of the original game. 

I hope it is. My kids and my nephew really enjoyed the first game.
