Disney hopes to establish Mickey as one of the world's best-known action heroes such as Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog and then build on his new wave of fame with a games franchise and merchandise. And he is a modern mouse for modern times."We've pulled Mickey out of the world of cartoons which is where he belongs and feels comfortable and safe and we pull him into a world we call the Cartoon Wasteland," says game designer Warren Spector.
