Vodafone Italy has joined forces with Disney to launch a new cell phone specifically targeting kids between the ages of 8 and 13. The phone, with its red face plate and gooey Mickey Mouse center, aims to take advantage of the 3 million families with children that fall into that age bracket and to fantasia its way into their hearts.

The Primofonino, is the name of the phone, is specifically designed to alleviate the usual fear of young kids being able to access obscene material or communicate with the kind of people you’d rather they not communicate via cell phone by giving parents various options to ensure their child’s security.

Parents will be able to monitor who their children are talking with and sending text messages too, they will also be able to block calls to and from specific numbers, and finally, parents will be able to restrict the use of the Internet and other multimedia sources.

The phone even comes with two interchangeable keypads — one with the regular 12 keys for the trustworthy children, and another one with 4 keys
