mobilinanews (America) – Vespa is celebrating the anniversary of Disney, which turns 100 in 2024, in the best possible way. They launched a special limited edition Disney Mickey Mouse Edition.
This isn’t Disney and Vespa’s first collaboration, as before the Disney Pixar 2021 movie Luca, there was a Vespa scooter in the movie. With a plot around the fictional town of Portorosso, based in Genoa, Italy. This shows that these two industrial giants have collaborated and become business partners.
in 2024, the Vespa remains an enduring Italian icon, from Italy to the world, and Mickey Mouse is no different for Disney. The Disney Mickey Mouse Edition of Vespa is therefore a design that will complement the limited edition range of Vespa Primavera 50cc, 125cc and 150cc scooters to unite the two icons in one rideable version of the scooter.
Anyone who has recently taken a look at the Vespa Primavera will be familiar with the perfectly round mirrors, often called “Mickey Mouse mirror” even before this collaboration. This color palette and other graphics also show the visuals of Mickey Mouse.
The Disney Mickey Mouse edition of Vespa takes the solid color block that Mickey is most easily associated with, including the clothes he wears, and applies it to the Primavera body.
The front fenders are yellow the same color used on Mickey’s boots. The main colors are black and red. This black color featured prominently in Mickey’s design, and red featured prominently in the shorts he wore, which were held up with suspenders.
White accents such as Mickey’s gloves break up the pattern and help provide the movement and life that puts the soul of the cartoon character Desney on the motorcycle that will ride it.
White and black line drawings of Mickey are used as graphics on the front of the scooter, as well as on the side panels. The iconic Mickey Mouse signature is also highlighted as a debossed pattern on the black saddle. Some chrome and silver accents remain, such as the grab bar behind the seat and the exhaust cover.
“Dreams allow us to look to the future with optimism, even in difficult times like these. Timeless icons like Vespa could not fail to celebrate, on this very special occasion of Disney’s 100th anniversary, such a timeless icon than Mickey Mouse, with a tribute to creativity, imagination, play and fun,” said Managing Director Piaggio Group Global Strategy and Innovation, Michèle Colaninno.
For him, the collaboration between Disney and Vespa always results in work that impresses both Vespa and Disney lovers. because both have inherent power and become icons in their respective worlds.
“Right now, like before. This collaboration between Vespa and Disney is a celebration of two historic companies that share the same dream of allowing everyone to freely express their imagination.”
