I can't help thinking that this project was inspired by Disney's work together with Square-Enix on Kingdom Hearts; I wouldn't be surprised if they slipped some existential themes in there.

I don't think it's random at all. "Epic" is the last word people would normally associate with Mickey Mouse, and they're using that contrast to distinguish their game from other Disney ones, right from the title.
Well, if you've ever heard the expression to "Slip someone a 'Mickey,'" it means you put something intoxicating in their beverage without their knowing (same thing as "spiking" the punch, really).
So, it's kind of like, this game's gonna end up slipping you one helluva "Mickey," which is...kind of what I'm hoping to game will be like!
Mickey Mouse on booze, and for much win!
P.S. A good name for a bar establishment: "The Drunken Mouse."
