About
This Series:
Released in 2002. McDonald's official name for this toy series is "Walt Disney World 100 Years of Magic". It has also been called "100 Years of Disney" and "Disney 100 Years of Magic". This huge promotion ran from March 8-April 4, 2002. It celebrated 100 years since the birth of Walt Disney. There were actually 100 different figures in this series, and a set of four commemorative glasses. Figures were made of characters both old and new. The name of the series is misleading, as it is NOT the 100th anniversary of Walt Disney World. Far from it. But Walt Disney World is commonly used by the company in all of their special promotions, especially those using the classic characters from shorts and films (like Mickey Mouse and gang, Snow White, Pinocchio, etc.).
Featured Toys:
Name- Steamboat Willie
About- Stands 4" tall. Mickey Mouse appears a few times in this series of figures. "Steamboat Willie" is, of course, based on Mickey's first cartoon appearance way back in 1928.
Name- Uncle Scrooge
About- Stands 3.5" tall. Unlike most of Disney's early characters, Uncle Scrooge McDuck made his debut in comics, back in 1947, THEN was put into animated form. Uncle Scrooge made his first cartoon in 1967 with the short, "Uncle Scrooge & Money" (he did, however, make a brief cameo appearance some years earlier on TVs "The Mickey Mouse Club").
