Handy Manny is sporting a mustache -- made out of leche.
The star of Disney Channel's preschooler show will become the company's first animated character to appear in the long-running Got Milk? campaign, with an English version of the print ad appearing in parenting titles like Disney FamilyFun, starting June 8. The creative will also be found in People.
Come fall, a Spanish-language version of the ad will debut in conjunction with "Hispanic Heritage Month."
Through a national ad campaign and a Disney Media Sales and Marketing solution across Disney Channel, Disney Online, Disney FamilyFun and Disney En Familia, Disney and Handy Manny aspire to give moms the inspiration they need to enhance family time with tips, healthy living ideas and family activities.
