This is my next piece of Epic Mickey fan art.

These two Brer characters are my bosses for my Critter Valley level. After you leave Splosh Mountain and the cave entrance guarded by Brer Rabbit, you enter Brer Fox's Hideout. It is essentially the same style of area as the entrance area, but it's just larger and more spaced out. You need to get past a large boulder blocking a cave entrance. You must find 4 ropes connected by a pulley system and thin them out. Thinning the ropes out, will slightly move the boulder, until the cave is open. After entering the cave, you encounter Brer Fox and Brer Bear. Brer Fox, while standing on a large pillar, launches thinner at you, from his new mechanical arm.

(Backstory: Before the Thinner Desaster, Brer Fox got his arm mangled in combat. His arm was replaced with a mechanical one, installed by the Mad Doctor. It came with a thinner blaster installed inside the palm.)

Anyways, while Brer Fox launches thinner at you, you are engaged by Brer Bear. He swings his club at you anytime you come close to him, and because of the constant thinner launched at you, you have to constantly be on the move. In order to defeat Brer Bear, you must maneuver around Brer Bear, until he is hit by thinner launched by Brer Fox. After Brer Bear is it 3 times, he turns on Brer Fox, and topples the pillar Brer Fox is standing on. The pillar snaps in half while being toppled, and falls on Brer Bear. This immobilizes Brer Bear, and it's now just you against Brer Fox.

Brer Fox goes into rage mode, and launches 3 thinner balls at you in one attack. You have to maneuver around the cave and simply survive for a small amount of time. You can't attack him, so your only option is to run. After a few moments, Brer Rabbit will emerge from the cave entrance and attack Brer Fox for you. Similar to the fight with Captain Hook, after Brer Rabbit shows up, you are instructed to damage a set of control panels. After all of the control panels are damaged, the fight is over. Damaging the panels frees the enslaved animals in Critter Valley, and with Brer Fox and Brer Bear down for the count, the day is saved. You leave the area via projector screen that Brer Rabbit opens, and the level is complete.

I'm ok with the way this ended up, but I'm not extremely happy with it. Personally, I think I drew Brer Bear's neck a little to thin, and Brer Fox's face is screwed up. The reason why Brer Fox's arm is the way it is, is because originally, Brer Fox and Bear were to be Beetleworx animatronics. I later decided to change this to the real characters, because I thought hey. Nobody really sees these characters anywhere except the one ride at Disneyland, unless they look them up on youtube. And I don't think many people do. I'm sure dozens of young children wonder who these characters are on the ride, and they'll never really know, because Disney wont release Song of the South on DVD. So until they're more publicized, they will be in my Wasteland.
