Mickey & Minnie Costumes, Disneyland, 1930s
In our opinion, these original costumes of Disney icons Mickey and Minnie Mouse are terrifying! The kid in the picture certainly seems to think so. We’re not entirely sure whose idea it was to give Mickey and Minnie a serious makeover, but whoever it was deserved a medal – the next version was far closer to the one we’ve now become accustomed to seeing.
We are convinced that the millions of children who visit the park each year are happier for it! Think of the trauma that the update spared them! Do you think they called it the ‘Happiest Place on earth’ back when these were the costumes they walked around the park with?
