Established: Kaine does not understand the meaning of epic.

Unsurprising, given that the emotionally stunted stillbirths of this generation conflate the gravitas-laden connotation of "epic" with mere "maturity". While not mutually exclusive, they ain't the same.

I'll just copypaste from wiki..

An epic is traditionally a genre of poetry, known as epic poetry. However in modern terms, epic is often extended to other art forms, such as novels, theater and film, where the story is centered on heroic characters, and the action takes place on a grand scale, just as in epic poetry. Epics in this sense are majestic depictions that capture impressive struggles, such as stories of war, adventures, and other efforts of great scope and size over long periods of time.

So you mean there's all that in Epic Mickey..? My my..

Not just Epic Mickey. Plenty of other not-particularly-mature movies & games could be considered epics. Toy Story, for example, would certainly qualify. There's romance, friendships made and broken, allies found and united in their struggle against overwhelming odds and a powerful enemy, the downtrodden and abused are rescued and freed, and acts of heroism prevail throughout a sprawling adventure in a huge (from a toy's perspective) world. It is, by all definitions, an epic.

It's also an animated kid's movie about a ragdoll cowboy and a spaceman toy.

and y'gotta remember, mickey mouse was kinda heavily bowlderized...from what i read online he was a bit more like bugs bunny when they first started doing him...

and you could probably replace keanu reeves and the others with teletubbies, and still have the matrix be an epic, heck, you could replace keanu reeves with a rock and it'd be the same...
