Beats by Dr. Dre and Disney both take pride in their musical backgrounds and beginnings. We know how Beats got their start into music, here’s a quick history of how Mickey made his mark on world music.
- Beginning with Steamboat Willie (1928), Mickey Mouse made his debut in Disney’s first synchronized sound cartoon.
- He later starred in his most famous musical piece, Fantasia (1940), a critical masterpiece composed of eight animated segments of classical music that has long inspirited generations.
- Disney’s variety show The Mickey Mouse Club (1955) was then created in his honor, leading to the emergence of several “mousketeers” turned early-aughts pop stars.
- Mickey Mouse eventually got his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1978 — deservedly joining other major contributors to the music and entertainment industry — and has made appearances on the shirts of countless music icons of the past and present.
“I hope we never lose sight of one thing—that it was all started by a mouse.” – Walt Disney
When Walt Disney said the words above, he emphasized how much of Disney was established on the introduction of Mickey Mouse in 1928. The collaboration’s campaign builds on this idea by looking at the origin stories of young artists including American rapper Lil Yachty, British singer-songwriter Anne-Marie, Chinese actress Zhou Dongyu and Japanese pop duo AMIAYA.
“Music and Disney go hand in hand, now they just have the perfect headphones to be an outlet and represent them,” Lil Yachty said. “I am honored to be chosen for this collaboration; I grew up watching Disney and using Beats headphones. Now I get to represent them both it’s unreal.”
The above campaign was shot by Maripol, a famed Polaroid photographer who recorded and influenced emerging artists that later embodied the creative scene of eighties New York. In addition to taking polaroids, she also filmed the collaboration and talent with a vintage camera to capture the nostalgic sentiment key to Disney’s magic.
