New Delhi, Walt Disney characters Mickey and Minnie Mouse along with their friends Donald Duck, Goofy and pet dog Pluto enthralled their fans here Tuesday when they staged a live performance wearing traditional Indian attire and danced to Bollywood numbers.
The fans experienced Disney magic. The place was filled with music, laughter, colour and excitement when all the characters boogied to popular Bollywood songs.
“Disney’s idea was to localise the characters and make them more relevant to this country. I’m sure the new avatar of the characters will be liked by kids and adults alike,” said K. Seshasaye, director corporate communications and outreach, The Walt Disney Company (India).
The audience, mainly kids, was energised and upbeat. They broke into applause on every action of the characters, especially when they danced wearing Indian costumes, a sight which was unexpected.
“I loved the show. It was great to see all the characters talking in Hindi and dancing to our favourite songs. It was good fun,” said Varun Garg, a class VI student in a Delhi school.
Mickey, Minnie and the whole gang will entertain fans over the next two days in New Delhi with their performance. The show will be staged in Mumbai later this month.
When asked about Disney’s growing interest in India and their foray in the country, Mahesh Samat, country head, The Walt Disney Company (India) said that Disney’s vision is to build “a family entertainment company in India”.
“Through these characters we want to expand our reach in the country. We organised this special treat for Disney fans in the guise of this live Mickey Mouse Show,” he added.
“Roadside Romeo”, India’s first ever three-dimensional mainstream animation venture, which was co-produced by Walt Disney Company was also a part of their effort to tap the Indian markets.
Mickey and Minnie Mouse also visited Agra last week.

The mission: to go back in time to eliminate Albert Einstein before he creates the technologies that will lead the Allies to ultimate victory.

Welcome to World War III. In Red Alert 3, all three factions will have their own hand-crafted story-driven campaigns, with co-operative missions designed solely around coordinating attacks and developing strategies with an ally. Hook up with a friend online and play through the entire campaign or recruit one of nine AI commanders to play at your side, each with their own distinct play style and personality. While most RTS games keep naval gameplay at the periphery, Red Alert 3 is not shying away from the high seas. The oceans now hold essential resources, and with many units and structures capable of becoming amphibious, players who turn their backs to the oceans will find conquering the world a daunting task.
The Return of Red Alert!

Red Alert 3 brings back everything fans loved about the series: the humour, the popcorn style story and the videogames fast, action-oriented gameplay, while breaking new ground for the genre, with an entirely co-operative, story-driven campaign mode and an increased emphasis on naval gameplay.

US comedian Sarah Silverman was heckled on stage during her UK stand-up debut in London.
Fans, who had paid about £50 a ticket, slow hand clapped and shouted they wanted their money back after the star’s short 40-minute set.
After the audience refused to leave, Silverman was forced to give a Q&A session as an encore after admitting she had no other material prepared.
The comedian has her own show on US cable TV network Comedy Central.
Unimpressed fans shouted “you’re over-hyped Sarah” and “I’ve seen longer clips on YouTube”, before the star told the audience to “go home” and the left the stage.
Reviewers from comedy websites and national newspapers were also left underwhelmed by Silverman’s set at the Hammersmith Apollo, which “fizzled out” by the end.
Calling time
The Daily Telegraph’s Dominic Cavendish described the comic as “skipping away in near-disgrace” after the “excruciatingly embarrassing” question and answer session.
Steve Bennett from comedy website Chortle complained that “minute for minute, there are sex phonelines that are cheaper than Sarah Silverman”.
“She is a guiltily enjoyable act, but just when she starts to hit her stride, she calls time on the gig - over when it had barely begun,” he said.
If you can’t produce a single slice of new material, then don’t put on a show in the first place.
Audience member Rob
“With this shockingly brief performance she delivers a stinging insult to the fans who had been so ready to laud her.”
Our reporter  who was also at the gig, said Silverman looked “clearly mystified” as to why she had to return to the stage after her short set.
“A lot of people who paid £45 a ticket would have been aggrieved,” he told,
“For a gig that size of 3,600 people and a first night in London to show people what all the fuss in America is about her, she could’ve done more - she should have been able to fill for another 20 minutes.”
Fans also fumed on internet forums about the gig, including Rob who posted on Time Out’s website: “I’ve never been to a more sad-sack performance in my life - if you can’t produce a single slice of new material, then don’t put on a show in the first place,” he said.
“When the lights went up, I thought it was a joke, and when she was cajoled into coming back onto the stage it was almost embarrassing - utterly pathetic.”
Earlier this year, a clip of Silverman singing with Matt Damon about a fake affair became a worldwide hit on the internet after being watched by millions.
