I think that this scene is different in the Japanese version is because of the events of 2011, so they have to change the scene. I give credits to Powerhouse Animation for making these very amazing scenes. I like that the Japanese version maintains the crooked castle from the concept arts.
Seeing Dark Beauty Castle slowly contort itself as the paint drains away is something I didn’t think would be creepy to see. Major props to the animation team for taking the time to alter the cutscene that not only feels more sensitive towards Japan (removing the tsunami out of respect for Japan who faced a real life tsunami in 2011), but also looks equally as sick as the international version.
It's always interesting when games have different versions based on their region. The fact that they went back and redid the animation (and added an entirely new part) for Japan blows my mind. God I love this game so much.
After the Thinner Wave that flooded Wasteland, I’m guessing that the some of the Thinner from the wave may have stayed and given off lingering effects as the Disaster continued ruining everything, kinda like how a tsunami ends.
Simple the thinner wave is straight forward, a wave that removed the toon from the world....but the miasma just gathers and drains the toon causing everything to distort, we just she the castle wilth by the misma ,this give the impression that in the Japanese version it wasn't just a quick wave of thinner that hit the waste land in one swift blow....it was a slow gradual deterioration as the miasma spread
while I think I prefer the original, I love how the Castle just starts to melt away like it does in-game, it makes me realize that most of the original 2D cutscenes don't do it like that.
How about reimagining the entire Epic Mickey series by bundling all three games into one comprehensive remaster? This collection would include polished versions of the 3DS game as well. Such a release could not only win over new enthusiasts but also give Epic Mickey the spotlight it truly deserves. This exceptional game has been overlooked for too long and should be celebrated for its creativity and charm.
Now heres a concert that would be "epic" for epic mickey rebrushed: Combine both U.S and Japanese cutscenes together, with the wave of thinner destroying toons and the lingering smog slowly and utterly destroying dark beauty castle. It would be an opportunity to give it a more darker tone, give players new content in cutscenes, and would require minimal effort on purple lamps end to create.
When this game came out, Japan had suffered a tsunami no to long prior , so they changed the scene as it be a bit controversial to depict a tsunami destroying a toon world when a country just suffered a tsunami
When you put it that way, that's so messed up 😭 But I think they changed it for Japan because there was a huge tsunami disaster that year and they didn't want to put it in the game and get cancelled for it. So in avoiding one disaster, they brought up another worse one in the end 😭😭😭
We don't know but maybe it's because of an event, we all know that there's a removed part of the SpongeBob SquarePants episode called maybe "just one bite" i think and they removed that scene because of the 9/11 dissasta 🍝
Because when the game came out, Japan was just suffering from a tsunami (a wave that very much like the thinner) so it would've been insensitive to the Japanese viewers.
Around the time of the game’s release, Japan had actually suffered from a tsunami recently, so to not be insensitive towards Japanese players they removed and replaced that bit of the cutscene of a thinner tsunami
My personal theory: The first difference between the 2 is the shockwave. I believe an atomic bomb is much more impactful on japanese players than a green wave. And to replace the animation of the wave, they decided to corrupt the castle, so the cinematic has the same lenght anyway. The reality: @vegetafan9922 gave it in response to my comment
It's actually because there was a tsunami in Oshika before the game was to release in Japan so JunctionPoint had to delay the game and reanimate the cutscene since showing Mean Street being flooded would've VERY distasteful after the tsunami.

@zbasetrace1880 But it only released in Japan in 2011.
...what happened there in 2011? Oh, wait... was it the tsunami?
@@Mike14264 Yes.
didn't the game come out in 2010?
@@spratak Yes, but the Japanese version was launch in 2011.

Fun regional fact: the Japanese cover of the game shades Mickey with brighter colors

God I love this game so much.
There's still a wave of thinner, just a different kind; a shockwave.
I like to think both scenarios occurred making the disaster WORSE!
I could see that happening

@@smoshyxx3058or like radiation warping the paint bits (notice how some areas in some levels were thinned out before mickey arrived)
Okay honestly, the Japanese cutscene is a whole hell of a lot more unsettling

It's honestly fascinating to see that the Japanese cutscene... actually showed us the world becoming inert and twisted! They did a swell job there!

Your wish was kinda granted today!
@@arnoldschwarzenegger3755 true! Haha!
I love how they couldn't use a tsunami bc of that one tsunami in japan, so of course it would be better to replace it with a *thinner nuclear bomb*
I guess

You can find more regional differences on Epic Mickey in The Cutting Room Floor

So internationally, the Thinner Disaster was a big tidal wave of Thinner, while in Japan, it was an atomic bomb?!

Very surprising! Nice
that is so cool!
Very cool
While I think the international one makes more sense based on the game worlds rules, the Japanese one definitely looks cooler
The Japan version was changed because of the 2011 tsunami)
Intro to Cursed Main Street USA
I heard Nintendo helped published the Japanese version while the U.S was all Disney and junction point studios.

I prefer the Japan version
For some reason, i like Japan's version better.
Why does the Japan version have the thinner as gas
