Celebrate Disney's 100th Anniversary With These 2 New Cereals

Breakfast is a beautiful thing. It's often the first landmark of your day, so you want it to bring you a bit of joy. For some, it's a tried-and-true overnight oats recipe. For others, a single cup of coffee, perfectly prepared with a splash of milk and maybe some time with a frother, if they're feeling fancy. But soon, Disney fans will be able to celebrate their love of all things Mickey and Minnie with a breakfast cereal inspired by the brand's generations-long legacy.

According to a press release from Post Consumer Brands — the manufacturer behind your favorite cereals, like Fruity Pebbles and Honeycomb — it's introducing a line of limited-edition breakfast cereals to commemorate the entertainment giant's 100th anniversary.

Our first question: How do you encapsulate such an iconic brand into a handful of flavors? Post worked with Disney on the final product, coming up with two options: a fruity profile and a confetti cake-flavored cereal. 

The flavors aren't the only thing to get excited about — this is far from the usual cardboard-box cereal. The fruit-flavored cereal has Mickey Mouse-shaped cereal pieces that come housed in a special-edition box decorated with Disney and Pixar characters. The confetti cake cereal has two packaging options: a specially designed box celebrating the anniversary and a limited edition tin. The latter is a metal case, in which fans will find a second cereal box featuring a retro design "inspired by Post and Disney's first collaboration on Post Toasties cereal in 1934." This collector's item will retail for $40. If you're looking to add this special design to your collection, the metal tin will be available exclusively at Walmart in limited quantities. 

A launch date for these two Disney-themed cereals has not been announced, and Post has encouraged fans to follow @Post_Cereals on Instagram for more details about when they will hit shelves. This offering is one of many contributions to the Disney100 collaboration project from brands around the world.
