Looks like our favorite cartoon characters Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy have found their way to Southeast Asia!
The six-part series of animated shorts, Mickey Go Local, features the iconic gang as they explore Singapore and Malaysia and experience the two countries' rich culture, local food, traditional clothing, and popular landmarks.
It is the first time that viewers will see Mickey and friends go about the familiar setting of Southeast Asia.
