Was the game initially intended to be DARKER than the final product? I mean, look at the concept art!

No one knows for sure except the development team. It is believed that the game was going to be darker and focus more on steampunk than the twisted Disney we got in the final game. Still a lot of the darker elements did make it onto the final game though not as overtly dark as before.

I seem to remember a news story where the makers of the game originally ment for Mickey to full on turn into a rat when he was "bad Mickey." They ended up toning it down to what we have instead.

A lot of the really dark art was to test Disney's limits and see where they'd let them go.

Hey, if all of these dark elements WERE in the game, what do you suppose the rating would be? The most extreme I can think of, especially for a Disney game at its darkest, would most likely be T. Of course, it wouldn't be the first time a Disney game got a T rating.
