Donald Duck’s 90th Anniversary with Will Gao and Hypebeast

Through a Hypebeast Dairies feature video, the Emmy-award nominated actor touches on his childhood love for cartoons, the preservation of meaningful relationships - and the importance of championing for more representation in the creative industry. Using his band Wasia Project as inspiration, Gao invites fans behind the scenes as the music collective prepare for a fundraiser performance, ahead of their current world-wide tour.

The short is interspersed with archive Wasia footage, noting the band’s longstanding connection and appreciation for one another, as well as a look into Will’s creative process at his South London home.

Disney invites fans to be inspired by the iconic Mickey & Friends line up – who for nine decades have cultivated genuine relationships that allow their true selves to shine. Stay tuned as these iconoc characters continue to show up in the realist of ways, in particular as we prepare for Donald Duck’s big 9-0.
