Mickey Turns 90 this Year and Disney Celebrates
~ °o° ~.
While Mickey’s official birthday is not until November 18th, Disney is not waiting to start the celebration and saying Happy Birthday to the "big cheese" in a big way!
The party kicks off on March 7 with “The Happiest Show on Earth”—a runway fashion event featuring a Mickey-inspired collection designed by couture brand Opening Ceremony. Select items from this show will be available for sale at shopDisney.com, OpeningCeremony.com on this day as well.
Other celebrations are going start in 2018, and go into 2019. This includes:
In the fall, ABC will air a tv-special for Mickey in honor of his birthday with special celebrity guests, musical performances and more.
Disney Channel will debut season five of Mickey Mouse animated shorts, including a special seven-minute extended-length birthday episode that will air later this year.
Walt Disney Parks and Resorts around the world will celebrate Mickey’s 90th on November 18th, marking the day with commemorative merchandise, photo locations, and more.
Beginning in late 2018 and into 2019 the World’s Biggest Mouse Party, saluting Mickey and Minnie, will take place at Disney Parks worldwide.
Disney On Ice will salute Mickey as the “True Original” host of Disney On Ice since its inception in 1981 by creating Mickey’s 90th pre-shows for productions touring the United States, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
Disney On Ice presents Mickey’s Special Celebration, a new production showcasing Mickey Mouse’s memories throughout the years.
Disney store will continue to celebrate milestone moments for Mickey Mouse with the Mickey Mouse Memories Collection (launched Jan 2018), a monthly, limited-release series of 12 collectible plush, mugs, and cloisonné pins inspired by Mickey’s most memorable movie roles.
Disney Publishing Worldwide will introduce more than 30 titles globally as part of Mickey’s 90th, including books, arts & crafts, and comics.
The most exciting part of this celebration to me is the “World’s Biggest Mouse Party” that will take place in the Disney Parks worldwide.
Stay tuned for more information as it is announced.
Disney is also asking everyone to use the special #Mickey90 on social media to help celebrate Mickey Mouse.Save
