Disney+ announced today that Christopher Willis is returning to compose the music for the streamer’s upcoming animated shorts series The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse. The show is produced by Disney Television Animation with Paul Rudish (Dexter’s Laboratory, Sym-Bionic Titan) serving as executive producer and supervising director. The series follows Mickey and his best pals – Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto – as they embark on their greatest adventures yet and will include stories inspired by various lands at Disney parks and cameos by classic Disney heritage characters. Willis (The Death of Stalin, Veep, The Lion Guard) has previously scored Disney’s Mickey Mouse shorts, which premiered on Disney Channel in 2013 and ran for five seasons, and for which the composer received several Annie Awards. The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse will premiere on November 18, 2020 on Disney+.
Willis’ other upcoming projects also include the animated feature Lamya’s Poem. The composer has also recently scored Armando Iannucci’s The Personal History of David Copperfield, which is currently playing in theaters nationwide.
