New Mickey Mouse caper for Hong Kong Disneyland's 10th anniversary
The original cartoon mouse will join a host of characters from other Disney stories in a new adventure, writes Christy Choi
It's the classic Buzzfeed quiz: which Disney character are you? A beard-stroking schemer like Jafar? A Cinderella-style dreamer? Or the life of the party, a la Aladdin's blue Genie?
To celebrate Disney's most beloved heroes, heroines and villains, and to mark Hong Kong Disneyland's 10th anniversary, the theme park is on Tuesday launching a new show, Mickey and the Wondrous Book.
The "epic" extravaganza will feature 22 original costume designs, and the theme song of the 10th-anniversary celebrations: Happily Ever After.
A far cry from his days on Steamboat Willie, the show sees the mouse that started it all for Walt Disney join pals Goofy and Olaf, the snowman of Frozen fame, in a 25-minute romp into an enchanted book.
Along the way, the trio will meet those two wiley rascals Baloo and King Louie, of The Jungle Book, and three lovely leading ladies: Rapunzel of Tangled fame, Ariel from The Little Mermaid and Merida, the feisty, arrow-shooting princess from Brave. Aladdin, Jasmine and the Genie, from the sultanate of Agrabah, and Tiana, heroine of the enchanting tale of The Princess and the Frog, also make an appearance.
