A Warren Spector interview provides more details.
- Junction Point wanted to make some episodic downloadable games before Epic Mickey
- In the beginning, they didn’t want to use Alice in Wonderland because because of confusion with the recent movie
- Disney core characters (no Winnie the Pooh)
- no human characters
- no Pixar nor other modern productions
- there will be some explanation of the references to Disney, but many are left up to the player to catch
- 2D storyboard, storytelling moments are inspired by Disney Legend Mary Blair
- graphics evolved as part as the natural development process
- lighting aspects weren't included in the first batch of screens, as it was just a prototype
- The Guardians have a name, and there are some mysteries behind them
- This is Spector’s 20th game
- Paint and thinner is a “critical part of our game” and “it’s something that hasn’t been done before in any other game”. “The first game that allows you to restore things”
- How important friends and family are to you is a major focus of the plot
- Carl Barks is Spector’s favorite comic artist and second is Floyd Gottfredson, who created Phantom Blot
- Phantom Blot has changed a bit
- More interest in Ducktails game: “Uncle Scrooge was Indiana Jones before Indiana Jones”
- multiple endings

I thought Pixar had a role on this game? Or was that just on CG cutscenes or something like that?
EDIT: Ah wait, they probably mean in the game story itself.
