For years, anime enthusiasts have integrated McDonald’s-inspired 'WcDonald’s' establishments into the most iconic anime films and series. Now, in partnership with leading anime creators, WcDonald’s is transitioning from fantasy to reality. McDonald’s UAE is embracing its fans' creative visions by introducing the WcDonald’s universe across its outlets and app, featuring unique elements such as manga-inspired packaging, episodic shorts, and more.
"Anime remains a highly influential genre in contemporary culture, and we are excited to introduce this innovative experience to fans across the UAE. It's thrilling to see WcDonald’s, which fans have watched on screen for years, come to life in our restaurants," remarks Walid Fakih, CEO of McDonald’s UAE. He further adds, "The WcDonald's universe is a testament to the creativity of anime artists and fans worldwide, and it has been intriguing to witness the remarkable creativity from our project partners. We continuously aim to introduce engaging concepts that resonate with our customers' interests, and we eagerly anticipate welcoming everyone in the UAE to the world of WcDonald’s!"
Fans can savor the zesty Chili WcDonald’s Sauce, available temporarily. This sauce, a blend of ginger, garlic, soy, and a hint of chili heat, offers a vibrant burst of flavor, mirroring the spirited essence of beloved anime characters. It complements perfectly with the 9-piece 'WcNuggets' or as a side to any preferred menu item. Additionally, the McDonald’s UAE Spicy Chicken McNuggets return to the menu for a limited period, along with the 20-piece McNuggets option.
McDonald’s has collaborated with renowned Japanese manga artist Acky Bright to create exclusive WcDonald’s packaging that immerses diners into the WcDonald’s realm with each meal. For a limited duration, fans will receive manga-inspired packaging featuring WcDonald’s Crew characters, illustrated by Acky himself. "I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with McDonald’s to bring WcDonald’s to life for manga enthusiasts who deeply appreciate the brand," Acky Bright shared. "From the intricate Crew characters to the manga storyline, I relished using my art to depict the lively, colorful world of WcDonald’s for audiences worldwide."
Legendary animation studio Pierrot has also contributed to the WcDonald’s transformation by producing the first official WcDonald’s anime. Four episodic shorts will explore the flavorful world of WcDonald’s, narrating stories centered around the WcDonald’s Sauce and WcNuggets. New episodes and manga will be released on the McDonald’s App until July 29, offering exclusive deals such as double rewards points on Spicy Chicken McNuggets, large fries for Dh5, and two chicken burgers for Dh10.
The limited-time offerings of WcDonald’s packaging, Savory Chili Sauce, and Spicy Chicken McNuggets are available at all McDonald’s UAE locations until July 29. For more details about McDonald’s UAE, visit www.mcdonalds.com.
