Why did Disney’s characters look SO STRANGE on opening day?

- Why they decided Pluto needed to be two people instead of one, I’ll never know 😂
The 1961 version of the characters were decidedly NOT mobile-friendly… the giant heads covered up the performer all the way to their waist, and their hands just hung limply by their sides so they weren’t able to give hugs, sign autographs, or shake hands. Minnie’s arms, however, were wired so that she could hold her parasol ☂️

I'm glad that they changed it up, they looks incredibly soo weird
I can’t imagine being a kid in the 1950’s just hyping Pluto, and he comes out like this, and not be terrified
Huh
@@Tooooothless Truly
@@snegluf Huh, what ?
You mean cursed
Ngl, the costumes in 1961 (the ones with the big head and non-functioning arms) are so cute
They are! I think so too 🥰
The non functioning arms ended up getting some cast members in trouble on different cases of sa in the parks
@@rosequartz3648 where can i find more info on this? i keep getting results for sa at the parks unrelated to unmovable arms
Fr
@@rosequartz3648 that SUCKS. Wow
i’m never gonna get over the four legged pluto
Same!!!!😭😭💀💀
It’s like traumatizing to look at like 😭 the poof people in that costume
Ikr?
Also 100th like
ITS SO FUNNY CAUSE ITS SO CURSED
Fr its cursed 💀
Fun fact: OG Dumbo is still hanging around, and he comes and visits at cast-only events once in a while (very rarely, but he does)!
Wow that's really cool! I thought Disney just gets rid of all their unused stuff.
me personally, i’d be terrified
@@bruh-js7tzsame
@@bruh-js7tz LoL what if Disney kept them around as an incentive to keep the cast members working harder? "If you guys don't work harder to meet those quarterly figures then we're going to bring out the Dumbo suit!" 😂
I actually think he's the only cute original ❤
No wonder the original ones were nightmare fuel. (They literally had slices cut out of their faces!)
Yes, despite her saying they were made with "visibility" they really did not. The Mickey and Minnie heads especially got cut up because it was so hard to see and back then they were just made out of foam.
and the ones from earlier were even more weird looking such up disney dan mickey mouse costume evolution
@@adiktadoalamusika I watched that video a few years ago and it traumatized me.
I just pushed the 1000th like lol that made my day
I can see how they would have worked fine if viewed from a distance.
That first mickey is extremely terrifying
That's some creepypasta level stuff.
@@ceneblockFr.
Especially minnie 😨
Mickey was supposed to be s pervert p3d0 😂
HAVE YOU SEEN DUMBO?!
Mickey and Minnie 😭💀
the skin walker couple
@@passtheapplejuice2619that means that’s not really them lololol. Mickey and Minnie Mouse, the skin walker edition for kids!
That last sentence was such a nice way to end it❤
🥰🥰
Therapist : Pluto walking on four legs cant hurt you
Four legged Pluto:
Four legged Pluto “ I’ve finally found you….”
The laugh that came out of me when i saw og pluto... my god🤣
Imagine being 5 years old and seein Pluto walking around lookin like that
I don't which to be more scared of:
- Mickey and Minnie with cursed all-seeing bulging eyes...
or
- Four-legged Pluto...
the dwarfs are so cute jumpin around☺️
Reminds me of dreams I have every once and awhile. Very weird, but interesting dreams. In them I went back in time when I was 2-5 years old. I’d then go back at a place I found memorable for fun memories. Except, the places would look as they did before I was born. One of these dreams were Disneyland themed, seeing how much I know about when it opened and what it looked like. I was aware these weren’t the original memories. My brothers acted like they knew every corner of the place and showed me around as if I’d never been. It was supposed to be me reliving my first Disneyland trip when I was about 1 after all. As my whole family was asleep at the hotel, but me I started thinking about the park. Thinking about how the Fantasyland ride buildings were how they look now, instead of their original circus tent-like look and how the old pirate ship from the park was gone, too. I then cleared my mind, and went to sleep. (Yes I went to sleep in my dream) when I woke up, I was in a lab as I heard people coming toward me. They asked me if I remembered anything and showed me some pictures to test. They then asked me how it was. I told them it was.. not very accurate and a strange feeling, like a distant memory. Then, it ended. That dream really confused me and interested me. It was kinda inspiring. But overall, the trippiest dream of my life.
CHILL BRO YOU DIDNT HAVE TO WRITE A WHOLE ESSAY
@@pickleboyeee1102 put more effort into this than my homework
That’s a crazy story, just imagine that the scientist were real and we are all in a dream. Crazy conspiracy theory lol.
You have the strangest dreams, then.
But I'm just amazed you remembered so much about it. I usually end up forgetting my dreams a minute or two after I wake up.
I remember a dream where I got eaten by a whole bunch of stuffed animals. I’ve been traumatized for stuffed animals for a while
Most costumes back in the day are really nightmare fuel not just for disney but for even just stuff like Halloween
yk... i now understand the fear of mascots
Fun fact:
About a month before Disneylands opening day, Walt Disney had came to a small church in California and met all the kids who went to Sunday school there, he told them they could be the first people to run through Cinderella’s Castle on opening day. One of the girls there was my grandma and her sister, now it is a very happy memory of that day they walked along the bridge
That’s amazing! You probably can see them in that opening day footage from Dateline: Disneyland
I just saw a video of why Disney doesn’t have quad suits (where you stand on all 4’s) and Pluto is the perfect example 😂😂 The tight leggings just send me
That Pluto costume is nightmare fuel...
I’m so happy that it changed they look so freaky and I will literally have nightmares 😂😂
THAT is something I have TRULY WONDERED. THANK YOU!
You’re welcome!
I don't blame Walt disney for this one tbh, and tbh I don't think he was the only one to not like the ones that they basically bought.💀💀💀💀 (idk if bought was the right word but I'll go with it anyways.•^•)
The original Minnie and Mickey ones were nightmare fuel dawg 😭
Ngl that Dumbo costume actually looks good than the other ones
i'm so sorry, did you just say the 50's dumbo looked *good?*
that shit is the fuel of my nightmares now
I agree. I think Dumbo looked adorable.
The four legged Pluto is going to give me actual nightmares
🙈
Thank God they changed!😱😆
Damn the mini ones are so cute
Nightmares are real, they were just replaced and are hidden.
These stupid mascots immediately make me forget there's a person inside, I'll be in TEARS
I love this song Jackie Wilson was an amazing singer.
You know there is an early version for premieres of snow white where they look more similar or creepier to the 50s
They look great now I hope they never change
Most of the designs before the current one are in the Uncanny valley. (Look it up) it’s basically the difference between something looking real, or almost real to were it is creepy
They came a long way to bring something that doesn’t look like it’s gonna kill your in your sleep
😂😂
We need more Horror Mascots Inspired by the Ice Cepede look.
the dwarfs flapping arms are CUTE
This is a testament to how Disney keeps evolving and perfecting the design of their characters.
not pluto tho
🙈
Otis Redding does an amazing cover of this song. (Your Love Has Lifted Me Higher)
It’s strange that we narrowly avoided a timeline where theme parks never had walkaround characters
The original Mickey and Minnie had bizarre cutouts on the faces because the skaters needed better visibility. They’re nightmare fuel!
Yeah they were wild!
dude I panic laughed at pluto, I need more
I’ll see what I can do 😂
I’m glad after 100 years they improved on it.
I’m glad it changed
Me too
Walt Disney once said, “Disneyland will never be completed!”
Another Fun Fact:
There was actually a live-action Mickey Mouse on-screen, the casting choice was a monkey.
Yes and the mickey mouse costumes were incredibly scary looking
Angel is wearing bright blue colours in this, and i love it.
This is honestly one of my favourite episodes of the whole Buffyverse. That ending always makes me tear up.
Daw. I like that OG Dumbo. Real big head, tiny trunk. Perfect!
I’m gonna have nightmares from Pluto…
Sorry 😬😬
they looked terrifying.
Dumbo 😭 them lashes💀 Pluto 💀 Mickey and Minnie big ahh head and small eyes 💀💀💀😱
I physically can’t right now!😭💀
Im glad they changed it because THAT THING is horrifying
It was something 😂
Bro that Mickey Mouse was a literal twig
This is so cool.... Ty.... I'm a Disney lover... Didn't know this.... Keep these shorts coming ❤️
Finally, someone who actually explains
Thank you.😊
Fun fact: Mickey Mouse's copyright expires at the end of this year. To keep Mickey Mouse out of public domain, Disney influenced and changed the copyright system when congress passed the Copyright Act in the mid 70's. Meaning that published works were owned by the author for the rest of their life and up to 50 years after they pass or sometimes more than 75 years of owned by a corporation. By 2024, the original Mickey Mouse that was created and protected under copyright for 95 years after his creation will become public domain which means anyone can legally use the image without penalty or paying licensing fees.
Fun fact: Copyright extends to certain works, but does not extend to names and images of characters. So, Mickey Mouse’s first cartoon will fall into the public domain. However, Mickey Mouse himself will not. That’s because he’s still under trademark, which lasts as long as Disney uses it (so, pretty much forever). For a comparable case, look at the early Tarzan stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Those went into the public domain long ago, but the Tarzan trademark is still owned by ERB, Inc. That’s why Dynamite Entertainment tried to skirt around the issue by naming their Tarzan comics “Lord of the Jungle” instead (last I checked, it didn’t work).
Eyo guess what just happened 👀
Ngl four legged pluto is just the cherry on top
Those are what I see in my nightmares-💀💀🖐️
to quote Sheldon "Nooo Pluto"
😂
It's the "no neck" for me 💁🏻♀️
That's the most Scooby looking Pluto I've ever seen!
😂😂
Why is dumbo so cute😫😭😭😭
PLUTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU MAN!!!!!
😂😂
Everything looked freaky bad in the day .. have you seen those Easter pics from the 50’s 😂😂
I love this song so much
The seven dwarfs look pretty cool.
The first ones will forever be in my nightmares
I hate the four legged Pluto costume, it looks terrifying and a bit cursed for me.
That four-legged Pluto is what my sleep paralysis demon looks like when he's raiding the fridge at 3am.
Dwarves were adorable
Imagine what they would look like in a few years from now and if they think the ones we have now look wierd😮
These disney adults are crazy
finally I get to see another footage of those costumes that appear on Disney dark secrets thumbnail videos
Haha I’ve never seen those. They really aren’t a dark secret, just borrowed ice capade costumes bc Walt was out of money 😂
@@disneyciceroneyeah I know, but videos with the title "Disney dark secrets" use pictures of those costumes for the video thumbnail
They did Pluto dirty man 💀
He’s… something 😂
Four legged Pluto made me laugh so hard! 😂
Haha he’s something else 😂
But isn't Pluto actually 4 legged? Isn't that the only difference between him and Goofy, and what makes him Mickeys pet and not just another person like Mickey?
They were so scary back then. They used to haunt me in my dreams and still occasionally do.
😳😬
Tbh the 1961 ones looks so cute😭😭
The night guard on opening day would quit faster than your dad left you
I HAD TO STOP AND WHEEZE AT ORIGINAL PLUTO HOLY SHITBAHSTHAGAGAGAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
😂😂
this old Pluto suit actually very nice, I would like to see it
He was just getting started and you could tell, even from the live broadcast that operational costs just couldn't keep pace, let alone deliver on attractions and props bearing more than a slight resemblance to what we know today.
Excellent reveal 👏
and Distory lesson, Thank 😊 you 💙 DC
So true. And thanks! 🥰
The four legged Pluto is nightmare fuel
Those early characters were the stuff of nightmares.
Lol! The costumes looked like bootlegs back then. 😂
Right? 😂
Omg the old dumbo was so cuteee
it's so weird seeing some of those older costumes and being able to look past the unfamiliar design and see it as just a human in a tight outfit with a big thing on their head. Even that old dancing Goofy near the beginning
YOOOO I didn’t know this at ALL!!
Omg those little arms in 1960’s those are so cute 🥺
We’re all in process.
Always.
My grandma's cousin Dougie play the first Mickey Mouse in Florida
The Dumbo one looked cuteee!
the first costumes are pure nightmare fuel
They are 😂
Why is there casually the song from GhostBusters II in the background….
A creative choice 🤷♀️
The struggle was real and not everything is gonna be picture perfect
Good music choice
So glad they don’t look like sleep deprived demons any more 😂😂😂😂😂
They are all nightmare fuel...
That Mickey ones the stuff of nightmares
I thought the old ones would definitely fit in analog horror
