Mickey Mouse Gets a Wacky Races-Type Show
 |
Mickey and the Roadster Racers is aimed at preschoolers, though like every other part of pop-culture today it will be somehow claimed by self-centered Gen-Xers and Millennials. But I’m not sharing this because I’m interested in a kids’ cartoon – I’m sharing it because I think the inevitable tie-in racing videogame will be amazing.
Seriously, the teaser clip below already gives you a sense of what one of the game’s gimmicks might be, and if we throw in Star Wars, Muppet and Marvel characters in their own custom car creations, Mario might have to watch his ass on the Kart track.
I’m also looking forward to Donald Duck’s inevitable road rage.
