It all began innocently enough. Mickey asked Donald and Goofy to help him find an anniversary gift for Minnie, and settled upon a gorgeous antique mirror.
Unknown to the unwitting buyers, there is another world just beyond the surface of the glass.
Through the magic mirror, all manner of villains, cutthroats and other evils have found their way in, and begun to wreak havoc to steal all the magic they can from the peaceful kingdom of Equestria.
In dire need of a hero, the source of Harmony in the kingdom sends for help, only for the saviors to be nothing more than a plucky little mouse, a hot-headed duck, and a dim-witted dog.
Will the three be able to save the kingdom of friendship? Only their adventure will tell as they journey through the magical kingdom, and uncover the mystery of the missing magic.
I was convinced I was the only one who remembered this game....
ETA:
This feels almost exactly like it should: Like a Disney comic.
The characterization, the dialogue, the imagery, everything. I will be following this intently.
Betcha this will be epic.
Oh me, oh my, oh good time.
Is...
Is this Kindon Hearts?

Doubt it. No sign of royalty, key blades, heartless, or extra worlds yet. This Equestria seems to be an alternate dimension.
Still seems interesting, so I'm going to start tracking it and see where it goes. Should be fun based on this so far.
8056310 No. This is not set in the Kingdom Hearts universe. There will be no cameos by other Disney or Square Enix characters. Maybe a reference or two will sneak in, though.
Never played Magical Quest. I did play Mickey's Magical Mirror though.
8057416 I played World of Illusion on the Mega Drive. Loved that game.
8057464 Are we talking about the same game?
8055920 Thanks. I'll try not to let that go to my head, since I kind of have a policy to not directly try to duplicate or replicate how other more famous, more talented creators have done things. Still, it's nice to know that I'm doing something right with the work I do.
8055926 Well, I try to aim for fun, but epic could come into play. No, not like Epic Mickey. Anyone with a Wii or a Wii U should give that game a whirl if you feel so inclined, by the way.
8057464 8057480
You are not. World of Illusion was a Genesis/Mega Drive adventure game starring Mickey and Donald. The Magical Quest was a SNES platformer starring Mickey, with guest appearances by other characters (this one had two sequels, The Great Circus Mystery, starring Mickey and Minnie, and Magical Quest 3 starring Mickey and Donald).
8058121
Just keep doing what you're doing; you're on the right track.
Pretty awesome start. I can't wait to see more of this.
Keep on writing.
I'll be keeping an eye on this one...
~Dollars.
I like it. Hope for more.
Uh...The story is really good, but it's a little hard to read...
Mind fixing that...please...
I sometimes forget that Donald Duck is a sailor AND a veteran from World War 2. I also didn't know he had a middle name and now I forget what it was.
8101275 I'm totally not making that up. Canonically, Donald's full name is Donald Fauntleroy Duck. And his friends are Michael Theodore Mouse, Goofus Gooferton Goof, and Minerva Lillian Mouse.
8101279 I'm guessing all the other names are canon as well? Mickey and Minnie's full names make em sound like they are descended from nobles while Goofy seems like he's descended from farmers or something. Does Oswald have a full name, too?
8101295 Yes, those other names are all canon. And, I looked it up, and no, Oswald does not have a full name. He is just Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
Nice work, but what's with the light show?
30 years of Disney shows and I still can't decide if Goofy is just a klutz or the world's greatest secret badass.
This story is absolutely fantastic. It reminds me all at once of the older cartoons, the comics, and the Magical Quest series, while still being different from each of them. Hands down, one of the best crossovers I've ever read, and we're only getting started.
I am excited.
ETA:
It only just now occurred to me, but I'm pretty sure that thing that Pete is shown chewing on is supposed to be a block of chewing tobacco.
8101446 I can't say too much about it just yet. But, the light will be an important plot point later.
8101749 Aw man, I'm glad you like this so much. But, I'm still trying to to let that go to my head.
As for the thing Pete is chewing: I can't comment on that, as it may raise the age rating on the story (hint, hint).
Is it wrong that I really want Uncle Scrooge to make an appearance?
8105146 No. It most certainly is not.
Love this so far! It's really great to see these amazing Disney characters and how well written they are. I do miss the old shows
Huh, I would never have thought Spike being similar to the Epcot from Disney. Good catch.
Also, I really love the idea to have Spike go on adventure with Minnie and Ploto.
So far great!
Ooooh, that stranger is going to get his butt whooped when the heroes finds out what he did to the princesses.
We need Figment.
Minnie doesn't get nearly enough screen time, if you ask me, so it's a thrill to see her in action.
Pluto's pretty neat too, I guess.
Still probably the most distinctly "Disney" story I've read here, and I love it.
now this I can't wait to keep reading. when's the next update?
8147059 Tough to say. I usually just wing these updates, with no set deadline for myself. However, I am currently working on the next chapter.
8149870
sweet. can't wait.
I wonder what's with all the lights? Anyway, good chapter.
Good chapter. Now it looks like Minnie and Pluto will be joining the adventure along with Spike. Excellent!
Keep on going!
8153734 Isn't it obvious? Pete and Big Bad's light is stealing magic, and Mickey and his pals' light is guiding them. As for what the lights are: Mickey's is the last remnant of the Tree of Harmony, and Pete's is something that was given to him by his boss. As for what kind of magic Pete's light is exactly, that will be revealed in a matter of chapters.
Nameless badger boss. Okay, got it.
It really is always wonderful to see an update here, even if generally I don't have much to say that I haven't already said. The story continues to have a fun and "correct" feel, particularly in that we know that Mickey will win in the end, but not exactly how he'll do it.
Nice touch, referencing the fact that Mickey never seems to hold a steady job, but instead just does whatever job is both available and takes his fancy at the time.
I'd be surprised if the Disney Ducks and Dogfaces had Equestrian counterparts.
8173945 Maybe. I assume that you're talking about Copper looking like Horace. Well, no, he's not Horrace's counterpart, per se. It's just a coincidence that they look alike. But, since I brought it up: Horace was originally going to end up in Equestria too.
A badger boss, huh? I wonder what he looks like?
Anyhow, great chapter here. Keep on going!
8175175 Oh, you know, like a badger mixed with some toon anthropomorphism. Striped face, mouth full of fangs, glaring eyes, clawed hands, tall, as muscular as Pete is fat, wears heavy miner's gear, carries a brown jug full of an unspecified drink on his belt. Oh, I almost forgot: a voice like Lance Henrikson.
8175572 An original character, huh? Very nice.
IMAGINATION!
Got the Miner Costume!
Another good chapter. So Mickey got his first costume, huh? Nice!
8203823 Bingo.
8204979 And you can bet that Minnie, Donald, and Goofy will be getting their own individual costumes as well.
