Mickey and Pals Takeover Planned for U.K.

Disney Channels UK and Ireland is launching a Mickey and Pals takeover on September 4, running 24 hours a day for the course of the month on Disney XD +1.

The takeover will include selected episodes of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Mickey and the Roadster Racers, Sofia the First, The Lion Guard and Doc McStuffins. Available on Sky and Virgin Media, the channel will also host a range of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse specials. Mickey and Pals will cater to younger Disney Junior preschool viewers and follows on from the successful launch of the channel’s latest property, Mickey and the Roadster Racers.

David Levine, the general manager of Disney Channels UK and Ireland, commented: “As our company’s main ambassador Mickey Mouse brings joy to people worldwide. We are transporting all the fun and endearing optimism associated with him to one destination, which parents and preschoolers can jointly embrace whether they view our shows via linear or VOD platforms, boosting our core Disney Junior offering.”
