This spectacular celebration of Mickey Mouse will be “an evening of musical performances, moving tributes, and rare short films never before seen by the public,” and it will be produced and directed by Don Mischer, one of the most acclaimed producers and directors of television and live events and a 15-time Emmy Award winner.

“I’m delighted to be working on this magical event,” Mischer said. “Walt Disney was a major influence in my early life and actually inspired me to pursue my life’s work in television.”

Joining Mischer will be executive producers Charlie Haykel and Juliane Hare, who are very excited about this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“It’s remarkable how strongly Mickey Mouse connects with people around the world, and it’s an honor for us to help celebrate such a beloved global icon,” Haykel and Hare said.
