Disney and WEBTOON have teamed up to create ‘Mickey X F1 Racing to the Top!,’ an original vertical comics series launching in March that aims to combine the creativity and imagination of Mickey & Friends and the excitement and drama of Formula 1.
‘Mickey X F1 Racing to the Top!’ will launch on March 6 during the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix, and it will be available on WEBTOON’s global platforms throughout the entire Formula 1 race season.
New episodes will drop during each race weekend, and the original story the comic will tell is inspired by the “high-octane thrills and teamwork of elite racing,” and will see “Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy come together to help support a racing team in crisis, demonstrating the power of friendship and collaboration to overcome adversity.”
“The Duckburg F1 fan club, led by Mickey Mouse, is invited to shadow a racing team to create a behind-the-scenes documentary,” the official synopsis reads. “But when that team suddenly collapses at the very beginning of the season, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and friends step up to keep the project alive, filling key roles themselves and recommending Jun, a talented taxi driver chasing his lifelong dream of winning Formula 1, only to discover his teammate is his sister Lia, his ultimate rival who left him in the dust years before.
“Will Jun, with the help of Mickey Mouse, be able to overcome the old grudge, make peace with his sister and finally play as a team? It will be a long journey, to be covered at full speed on the Grand Prix tracks!”
