This is simply a question of marketing. This game is trying to appeal to not only the small children, but likely the teenagers as well. You will not see a 15 year old playing a Mickey Mouse game that is all laughs and giggles. The true test will be seen in sales.

How aweful. Money or not, why would you ruin the image of Mickey Mouse like that? He looks evil in that picture. Disney should know better.

Makes you kind of wonder if Disney recently hired some former execs from Coke...remember that huge blunder of "change?"
