According to Warren Spector. He considers Epic Mickey (and Deus Ex) as the high point of his career for bringing back the character Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and getting fan mail regarding his work on Epic Mickey from fans.
"I suspect no one at Disney realizes that we made Ortensia up for our game. I'm sure people at Disney think Ortensia is a part of Disney's history. We made her up. So the fact that Oswald is back, and the fact that Ortensia is now a part of Disney's history, is because of a video game. That's very cool.
I got more fan mail about Epic Mickey than any game I've ever worked on. It was more heartfelt fan mail than any game I've ever worked on. We touched people in a way that games just never touch people.
Screw Metacritic. Screw the gamers who didn't like our camera. Screw everybody. I am really proud of that game, and I am really proud of the team that made it, and nothing is going to ever sway me from feeling like that was one of the high points of my career."

During development of Epic Mickey, Warren Spector used clips from various Mickey Mouse cartoons from the golden age as reference for Mickey's character animation. By recreating some scenes from some of the cartoons and overlaying it with the cartoon, the team were informed of how Mickey should move throughout the game.

In Mickey Junk Mountain, a can with Donald Duck holding a glass of juice is seen among the piles of junk in the game. This is a reference to a brand of orange juice from the Florida's Natural Growers agricultural cooperative that used Donald Duck to market its orange juice, even using Donald as its mascot.

According to Warren Spector, there were originally three different designs for Mickey, with his appearance changing based on whether the player made heroic or mischievous choices. The designs were based off different eras of Mickey Mouse cartoons. Hero Mickey was based on his old movie posters, Wasterlander was based on 1930s vintage Mickey, and Scrapper was inspired by the early black and white Mickey cartoons (along with the 1995 Mickey Mouse short 'Runaway Brain').

Mickey was originally to have released his own paint from his hands. As he did this, the paint from his body would vanish, revealing his outline. The idea was later scrapped, and Mickey was given a paintbrush instead.

In an early version Gus was to be caged like all the other Gremlins in the game as opposed to being free by default. This may explain why Gus never introduces himself to Mickey, as the scene where he would have done so was cut and never replaced.

Originally, if Mickey used too much thinner when he was in his 'scrapper' mood, he would've turned into a design called 'Thinner Mickey'. Every evil action that Mickey would have done erased his paint and showed more of his basic line-art. The idea was eventually scrapped due to the Disney company not wishing to tarnish Mickey's 'heroic' attitude.
