Citizen Watch Co., Ltd. has unveiled its first-ever special movie featuring a Disney song.

Citizen became the Official Timepiece of the Disneyland Resort in California and other four Disney theme parks in March 2018. As part of that promotional alliance, Citizen has produced a special movie featuring the well-known song “I’m Late” from Disney’s animated feature Alice in Wonderland. It will be released on 15 November.

The first special movie uses “I’m Late,” a comic song sung by the White Rabbit—an important character in Alice in Wonderland who lures Alice, the protagonist, down into Wonderland—to promote the merits of light-powered Eco-Drive, a Citizen core technology.

In the original Disney movie, the White Rabbit is forever in a hurry, making him a widely-recognized symbol of someone always pressed for time. The special movie plays up this aspect of his character, deploying the White Rabbit, along with Alice and other distinctive characters, in a humorous story that shows how having an Eco-Drive watch that keeps on running will stop you being late for meetings or dates. Mixing live action and computer graphics, the special movie features a rich variety of characters and scenes from the original animated feature and has a structure that reflects the essence of Disney’s world view.

The special movie will be hosted on Citizen website, the Citizen Official YouTube Channel and Citizen SNS accounts. It can also be seen at the venues of “Disney on Classic*2 ,” a live music event sponsored by Citizen as part of the two companies’ promotional alliance in Japan.
