So...ever see the concept art for the video game Epic Mickey? If you haven't, try a google image search, it's freaky.

Anyway, ages ago someone here posted something about that concept art, and looking at the art freaked the heck out of me. It reminded me of something very vague from my childhood.

I had this fuzzy memory which I couldn't decide if it was a dream or something I actually saw. All I could remember was a freaky Mickey Mouse, and it scaring the heck out of me. But because it was so long ago, and so much time had passed, I never had the chance to figure out if it was a dream or not.

So the other day I was peeking at that concept art again and I remembered that dream/whatever it was I saw. Thanks to the almighty internet, I was able to determine that the memory that has haunted me for 15 years was in fact a Mickey Mouse cartoon called "Runaway Brain" which played in theaters as a short cartoon before "A Goofy Movie". Check it out for yourselves, it's pretty freaky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbT7lhl9kpU

Anyways, it made me feel better to know that the shadowy memory I had was actually a cartoon, and not just a dream. Not being able to tell always frustrated me. So ATG, any vague childhood memories that you thought might be dreams but were able to confirm as reality? Also.....how crazy is that Epic Mickey concept art?

Epic Mickey is...terrible. crying And, admittedly, kinda cool.

You know how sometimes you close your eyes and TRY to think of something that scares you? Just out of curiosity, to see what you come up with? For ages I'd picture this monster, and everything about it seemed unnatural to me.... The way it crawled, the distance between its eyes, the way its whole body writhed...

I didn't find out until some point in my freshman year of high school that it was the demon form of Nago from Princess Mononoke. I must've watched it with my big brother or something when I was itty bitty....

Edit: Come to think of it, I'd had nightmares about the hunters beneath the boar skins as well. I hated the way they would glide, and the black gaping eye sockets.

Haha, the second you said "freaky Mickey Mouse" I pictured Mickey from that exact short.

I am so excited for Epic Mickey, honestly. Have you seen any of the trailers?

Waku: Have you seen the extended bit of the intro? It's got Oswald in it and such.

Anyway, yeah. Epic Mickey. So cool~
Though I kinda wish they had kept his Scrapper look or whatever it was called. 'Twas interesting...

As for freaky childhood memories that turn out to be real or whatever, I don't really have any. Nothing like what you guys are describing at least.

@Slim: That's awesome! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's experienced that. It was the weirdest feeling remembering something...but at the same time not being able to remember
