You know how, when you go to a Disney park, you get a pair of mouse ears, because that's just what you do at Disney? Well, now try and imagine transposing that over to your car. When D23 opens tomorrow morning, Disney fans will get a chance to witness the glory of Honda's Minnie Van.
This one-of-a-kind 2018 Honda Odyssey minivan was clearly inspired by fashion icon and glamorous film star Minnie Mouse. Much like some other themed cars we've seen, this one isn't exactly road safe. It is also not for sale.
The Minnie Van will be a part of the "Minnie's Style: The Fashion House of Minnie Mouse" display presented by the all-new Odyssey, showcasing a selection of Minnie's iconic dresses and accessories from throughout the years.Attendees may register at the Honda display to have their photo taken with the Minnie Van, and receive a special keepsake. Which you should do, because why the hell would you not want a photo with an actual minivan that is also the Minnie Van?
The Van was created in celebration of Honda's partnership with Disney-ABC and the "Disney Unlock the Magic Sweepstakes." The "Disney Unlock the Magic Sweepstakes" will choose one lucky winner to receive a grand prize vacation to the Disneyland Resort, plus an all-new 2018 Honda Odyssey.
So, that's the real reason why we have a pun car showing up at D23. It is, however, less awesome than the idea that we're just celebrating Minnie Mouse with a stupid pun. There's a charm in the latter that the reality just absolutely lacks. Where is your sense of whimsy Honda?
"The all-new Odyssey was developed for modern families offering high-tech features, flexible seating and new styling, all aimed at keeping everyone in the family happy," said Susie Rossick, Assistant Vice President of Honda Marketing for the talking heads portion of the announcement. "In creating the MINNIE VAN that will be on display at the D23 Expo, we're proud to partner with Disney-ABC and be inspired by the style of the most fashionable gal around – Minnie Mouse."
And because some lucky attendees have made it into D23 ahead of time, we know exactly what the van looks like on the floor. And it is glorious.
