Headline: Mickey Mouse And His New Life-Size Roadster Car Are Spotted Around London

Caption: **SUPPORTING VIDEOS AVAILABLE. CONTACT COVER IMAGES TO RECEIVE.** Mickey Mouse has been spotted out and about on the streets of London with his new Roadster Racer from the brand new animated series, 'Mickey and the Roadster Racers', on Disney Junior and DisneyLife. Mickey’s Roadster - ‘The Hot Doggin Hot Rod’ - was spotted at various locations across the capital. Commuters were surprised to see it lining up at the taxi rank at Charing Cross station, at Southbank and stopping at a zebra crossing in central London to let families pass. Created by a specialist team of eight engineers and experts, the model car took eight weeks to build and was commissioned to celebrate the launch of Disney Junior’s new animated children’s series. 'Mickey and The Roadster Racers' sees Mickey and pals – Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy and Pluto – racing across the globe on action-packed adventures, including a dash across London to stop a crown jewel thief. In a special London themed 'Mickey and The Roadster Racers' episode due to air on Disney Junior and DisneyLife in May, Mickey and the gang attempt to track down a thief who has stolen the crown jewels, before returning them to the Queen. The Roadster Racer model measures 2.4 metres in length, and features a ‘28’ on the side, which represents the year in which Mickey Mouse first appeared onscreen in ‘Steamboat Willie’ in 1928, 90 years ago next year.
