Dis channel Is ded So am I they try there hardest to make their costume characters alive so seeing this probly ruins the magic for some but to be fair there are ex Disney princess who talk about their experience
I think it's because the light punches could damage the outfits body outline,they say that with alot of training videos with costumes because they cost alot to make and to maintain clean
Imagine punching Mickey today. ruclips.net/video/QfkWftUCH78/видео.html (Bret is in the Mickey Mouse costume and some kid punches him in the gut and kicks him in the you-know-whats) Mickey: OUCH!
Thoughtful Av Not always sometimes you get lucky and you do see them around like that. On my last trip I was in Epcot heading into World Showcase and there I saw Tiana and Naveen right in front of me...no line or anything!!!! It was truly magical and something I'll always remember. Same thing happened in Magic Kingdom with the Song of the South guys and Clarabelle. People went up and got hugs and pictures and the assistants were all cool with it. So yeah they still do that stuff you just got to be at the right place at the right time.
The last time I went to Disneyland, I saw Mickey. It was at night and some employees were taking him somewhere and I saw him for a second and ran up and gave him a hug.
The face characters still walk around at Disneyland. It really is to dangerous for the furry characters to walk on their own - there have been incidents of kids assaulting the character "playfully", of the character almost getting overwhelmed by crowds and the head almost falling off, and issues with the actor in distress and with no one around to assist them. People have had all kinds of accidents in those suits, the current policy helps to prevent that as well as makes the job a little easier for the actor, and safe for everyone.
Thoughtful Av well it depends two things which park your at and volume last month I was at Disney land and they had all the characters alone Peter pan snow white the Prince and hook it was pretty cool no handler at but in world they always have handlers

Even though the tape is old in this video, people who want to do this job should watch this video because the rules of being Mickey Mouse at a Disney Park really haven't changed that much.
so much for top secret. :P . ever cool. I Always was wondering how they do character training. they always said. its very top secret to the public. even my friends, who work or used to work for the Disney. telling me it was very Top secret. they can't say anything lol
@3:50 you guys do not understand how special and how good quality this picture is. That boat behind them is NOT the pirate ship that sails around rivers of america. That is actually a defunct fastfood restaurant called Chicken of the Sea themed to captain hook. They removed it for the remodel of fantasyland around 1982 do what it is today with the stone german look. It used to be carnival tents for all the rides which didn't have a fantasy feel. This is seriously a real treat to see or to sea xD. RIP attraction!
He's both. As the video states, the age varies depending on who his guests are. Typically, if it's children, he communicates at their level. If its an adult, he communicates at their level. So, he can be whatever age or job position you want him to be. Mickey is, beyond the symbol of Disney, an everyman--err, mouse. This means, he's done pretty much every job type there is out there, yet still retains a childlike optimism that actual children can still relate to - since he doesn't talk down to/condescendingly patronize them for being children - and that anyone with an inner child retains past adulthood.
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh And Walt confirmed that they're married...in private. However, he never mentioned any children from the relationship for some reason.
@@Angie2343 Likely because "sequels aren't canon" & because mice have typically large families in real life and the mice couple have enough to do at 90+ than look after the pitter-patter of offspring, however adorable that would be.
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh ;) In my fanfics, they have 12 kids. Wanna know their names? 1. Marcus 2. Mileena 3. Mary 4. Mathilda (pronounced Matilda) 5. Matthew 6. Mina 7. Melody 8. Mason 9. Miranda 10. Melissa 11. Morgan 12. Madison
Once I was wearing a costume similar to that...and one kid tried to shove a wooden sword into the Mouth of the costume and into to my face....A FREAKING WOODEN SWORD! I took of my head and scared the f'n daylight out of the kid. Yeah right! Under this fluffy cuddly bunny is a grown up adult who can easily kick your ass you brat! Luckily I wore it as a private person and just for fun, so I coul do this without fearing to lose my job lol
After six minutes of training, you're ready to hit the streets of Disneyland. After an hour, Mickey must be hit and tired, stuck inside that costume. Orlando and Anaheim aren't exactly cool climates, especially during the summer. It's 90 degrees outside, and who knows how hot it is in that costume.
3:37 Mickey is in the incorrect jewelry aisle. He's supposed to be looking for an engagement ring for Minnie (although they married in 1933 the original ring was lost somehow). 2:55 I get where Mr. Wagner's coming from. At the time, Mickey was voiced by Jimmy McDonald - it would be one year before Wayne Allwine would take the reins - and this was LONG before the articulated technology intro'ed in the 1980s and LONG before the Living Character Initiative. However, he does not make it clear on what a character attendant should say if a child/teen/adult asks why Mickey isn't talking.
See, this is why even though I know there is a person inside the Costume, the character is still real. The characters personality is still shown through the Costume.
What do you mean if you're playing Mickey Mouse? No one plays him, the one at Disney parks is actually him! (I know that's not true but I choose to believe this because it makes the Disney experience more magical)
Aspiritcat Aj I've never really thought of it as me hugging a grown man or women I've always thought of it as me hugging Mickey or as me hugging Pinocchio because whenever I go to Disneyland I turn into a 3 year old again
Some kids do know sometimes though, I know I've seen a costume once or twice when I was younger and I always knew. Always. At least, I knew by the time I was eight, I wouldn't know about earlier on. But I still liked to see them. I find it magical in itself that they were able to make such great looking costumes and have them actually fit onto the person correctly. +Aspiritcat Aj
How? You've already known that Mickey Mouse was never real. Watching this video doesn't change that, unless you actually thought Mickey Mouse was real and not a person in a suit until just now? Kind of odd if you ask me, considering that even when I was younger, I knew all characters were people in costumes simply because of the proportions and costume-like/animatronic-like movements. And even if you're just getting exposed to the fact Mickey Mouse isn't real... could your childhood really be ruined if you still have fun seeing the Mickey Mouse actor? Could it really be ruined if you've made great memories and had great fun pretending Mickey was real?
The Toontastic Toon i always knew he was just a person. From the day i saw pictures of him. (with his costume on) he never blinked and never moved his mouth. So i knew he was fake... But i hid the part where he was a guy in a costume in public. Until now
The Toontastic Toon I always knew but I choose to still believe that it's the actual characters and not just a person in the costume despite being 13 because whenever I go to Disneyland I turn into a 3 year old again
When I was about 12 I slapped the Big Bad Wolf on the back of the head on a dare. Mickey takes me aside and I thought he'd wag a finger at me and mime no - no - no. Instead he squeezes my arm and says sotto voice "Try that again and you're kicked out of the fucking park". Yes, I had that coming.
"children are not fold by imitation" but that big characters had a big hole in the neck to see through fold many. That something I cant get around okay you have much fantasy but the character had a big hole in the neck how could the children used act like nothing back then.
That neck hole only applied to very specific characters that had a large body but small head, such as the (albeit creepy to some) Country Bears (as seen in "The Great Outdoors" song on the Disneyland Fun Disney Sing-Along Songs video). Most mascot costumes didn't have them or else the head & torso hid it very well, such as Winnie the Pooh's collared sweater.
@@Angie2343 I'm pretty sure doing it day in and day out would wear on your vocal cords. For example, when Brian Hull himself went & did some impressions for Merida, one of the Country Bears & Stitch (with him even doing Scott's Stitch voice seamlessly in front of the character himself), Merida was having trouble with an itchy throat, cold or sinus problem, because she had to excuse herself due to having a coughing situation & being unable to sustain her character's known Scottish accent (not that the performer did a good job anyway with the accent, according to RUclips commenters, who ragged on her for not being able to do true Scottish enough to be a believe representation of the fiery lass).
This version of Mickey Mouse somehow seems more clownish. I think I prefer today’s version. He somehow seems more fleshed out as a character. Minnie as well.
I remember when the characters just walked around. When people saw them They ran over and crowded pushing to get a picture. You were lucky to get one. I like the way is it now.
Lol what if someone used this as like a five nights at treasure island vhs tape. Plus that Mickey Mouse character looks like the stuffed Mickey Mouse from the caverns section of five nights at treasure island.
I'm giving this less than a year, or one more week from this post, by the time the Disney Company finds this video and takes it down. You shouldn't be posting videos like this, it's very disrespectful.
No, no it's not. It's insulting to our work for this to be reveled to the public, and actually makes our jobs harder when people don't respect the characters as real.
@@thephantomcastmember Mickey, Minnie, Wendy and the others are real. Why else do you think I wanna meet 'em? (And this video was before Mickey COULD talk via Living Character Initiative.)
Don't spread such a wildfire in the media of the comment section. If you really want to get your point across, talk in another area where it can be resolved. Besides, it's been a year now and it hasn't even been taken down by your company.
Because they mix things up due to both Plane Crazy and Steamboat Willie being "First" in two different ways for the Mickey Mouse character. Plane Crazy was Mickey's first cartoon, but if I recall correctly, Steamboat Willie was the first Mickey cartoon to have synchronized sound. So they're both first in a way. Plus, Steamboat Willie is more popular/well known than Plane Crazy for a couple of reasons. Notice how in some Disney involved films, Steamboat Willie is referenced either at the start or end of the movie? I believe "Wreck-It-Ralph" is one of the several movies that referenced Steamboat Willie, but not Plane Crazy.
+The guy who likes Lego's :p if I'm right enough plane crazy wasn't finished so it kind of was, but steamboat Willie was the first completed Disney short film and the first Disney film with sound
That guy who likes Legos :P it’s true, that they made the film and completed it in 1927, but plane crazy wasn’t released until 1929, Bc they wanted to remake it with sound. Ala Howard Hughes movie, Wings.
Both "Plane Crazy" (the one where Mickey builds a DIY plane, musses his hair to resemble Charles Lindenberg & pulls a reluctant Minnie into the...ahem...cockpit with him so he could try to kiss her whilst up in the air, only for Minnie to smack him across the face before ejecting the plane whilst using her bloomers as a parachute, as the plane starts coming undone with Mickey still inside it, with it ultimately crashing & Mickey falling out, upset that he lost his plane & his girl) and "Gallopin' Gaucho" (you know, the one with Mickey SMOKING & DRINKING [despite Disney claiming him as a "non-drinker" since his 1940's redesign], showing up on a wasted ostrich to a cantina set in what's supposed to likely be Argentina or Mexico so he could battle Pete [by using a GUN initially to boot, before the giant feline knocks it out of his grasp] for flapper dancer Minnie's affections) were STILL made first. They were both silent picture shorts initially. However, "Steamboat Willie" in itself IS a landmark for Mickey & the Walt Disney Company overall, because it was the ORIGINAL cartoon "talkie" (the first animated ANYTHING with sound in it), after Walt had glimpsed a peek at _The Jazz Singer_ (which was the FIRST live-action film with sound, effectively replicating the New Orleans Jazzband feel) and he felt that he could, perhaps, repeat the feat by mixing sound into his cartoons. It was a gamble, because no cartoon before "Steamboat Willie" had ever used sound in it (meaning, the audience could only watch the action play out on-screen, but would've had to have imagined what the film would've sounded like in their heads) & Walt was banking on it being a success. Luckily, it was. So, with the release of "Steamboat Willie" to prove that cartoons with sound can be successful, both of the 2 earlier silent shorts were then remade with sound freshly added. It's due to "Steamboat Willie" being the first animated cartoon with sound that has allowed it to become Mickey's (and also Minnie's, as well as their nemesis Pete's) OFFICIAL debut as characters, despite the fact that the original silent versions of "Plane Crazy" & "Gallopin' Gaucho" were made prior to "Steamboat Willie", nonetheless.
Probably due to the problem of it being dragged against the ground or being stepped on. Could also just be an alternative design for Mickey that does not include a tail. Probably both, I don't know.
"Children are sometimes hard to understand."
Well, Mickey shouldn't worry about that. His best friend is a duck, who nobody understands either.

No, his best friend is another mouse, and his name is Charles Entertainment Cheese. Chuck E. Cheese!

It's interesting that "playful" punches are something you have to be wary of as long ago as the 70's.

TheCatsMeow PrettyHorses it’s from the 70s because the narrator said 1976

I remember when the characters just walked around. When people saw them They ran over and crowded pushing to get a picture. You were lucky to get one. I like the way is it now.
I disagree. It’s too structured now, with really no chance of candid or unplanned fun.
I Wish Mickey Mouse Could Come To My House And Look At My Stuff
Alt title: the most stressful job in the world.
1976 was the day when my mom was born
preciate it dude. I always want to work here.
you know chadtronics should see this
I like that if you break something their only advice is to just fucking run.
How did you find this?
I Got from Extinct Attraction Club Series on Ebay.
PrinceJoshThemeParks&Travel can you get the training video for Alice in Wonderland?
Nyanpire The Cat exactly
I found it while watching a mash vid
Wow, we were never meant to see this, but here it is.
It's like a Micky D's training commericAl, but certainly faaaaaaar better.
Can you send me the whole video through email?! This is absolutely amazing and I understand you want to avoid the copyright strike
They had the right idea with the hands back then. The four fingered hands nowadays are too big and a bit clumsy.
CHADTROPIC WHERE ARE YOU
Chad Needs To See This!!!!
*CHADBOPIT*
Now..why was the "it's a small world" tune playing through out the vid...?
This must be ancient- Mikey has 5 fingered hands here!!
I wonder if they charge up on stimulants to stay energetic
Lol what if someone used this as like a five nights at treasure island vhs tape. Plus that Mickey Mouse character looks like the stuffed Mickey Mouse from the caverns section of five nights at treasure island.
I'm giving this less than a year, or one more week from this post, by the time the Disney Company finds this video and takes it down. You shouldn't be posting videos like this, it's very disrespectful.
But you gotta admit this is still interesting behind-the-scenes stuff to watch.
I'm a huge Disney fan and i know it's always a person in the costume. i still get super happy and excited seeing the characters though.
No, no it's not. It's insulting to our work for this to be reveled to the public, and actually makes our jobs harder when people don't respect the characters as real.
@@thephantomcastmember Mickey, Minnie, Wendy and the others are real. Why else do you think I wanna meet 'em? (And this video was before Mickey COULD talk via Living Character Initiative.)
Don't spread such a wildfire in the media of the comment section.
If you really want to get your point across, talk in another area where it can be resolved. Besides, it's been a year now and it hasn't even been taken down by your company.
Im ready to play mickey
OK this tells me alot but tell me this how in the living FUCK do they see in those hot ass costume
Kidsocool 28 maybe through the mouth.
Kidsocool 28 I think it's through the eyes, like more of a see through material
Kidsocool 28 I think it's through the eyes, like more of a see through material
i believe through the eyes in the past. the eyes are plastic now though and they see through their mouths now.
In my Mickey & Minnie Mouse mascot costumes that I purchased on eBay back in October 2021, there are eye holes where I can see out.
The fact that rhey decided Mickey makes me wonder if there's other version for the other characters
wiiknight678 I found one for Winnie the Pooh
pumbaaco1
I think it's because you don't want them to hear your real voice.

God dammit MICKEY FIRST APPEARED IN 'PLANE CRAZY' WHY DOES EVERYONE GET THAT WRONG
Because they mix things up due to both Plane Crazy and Steamboat Willie being "First" in two different ways for the Mickey Mouse character.
Plane Crazy was Mickey's first cartoon, but if I recall correctly, Steamboat Willie was the first Mickey cartoon to have synchronized sound. So they're both first in a way. Plus, Steamboat Willie is more popular/well known than Plane Crazy for a couple of reasons. Notice how in some Disney involved films, Steamboat Willie is referenced either at the start or end of the movie? I believe "Wreck-It-Ralph" is one of the several movies that referenced Steamboat Willie, but not Plane Crazy.
+The guy who likes Lego's :p if I'm right enough plane crazy wasn't finished so it kind of was, but steamboat Willie was the first completed Disney short film and the first Disney film with sound
That guy who likes Legos :P it’s true, that they made the film and completed it in 1927, but plane crazy wasn’t released until 1929, Bc they wanted to remake it with sound. Ala Howard Hughes movie, Wings.
That guy who likes Legos :P yes but Steamboat premiered before Plane Crazy.
Both "Plane Crazy" (the one where Mickey builds a DIY plane, musses his hair to resemble Charles Lindenberg & pulls a reluctant Minnie into the...ahem...cockpit with him so he could try to kiss her whilst up in the air, only for Minnie to smack him across the face before ejecting the plane whilst using her bloomers as a parachute, as the plane starts coming undone with Mickey still inside it, with it ultimately crashing & Mickey falling out, upset that he lost his plane & his girl) and "Gallopin' Gaucho" (you know, the one with Mickey SMOKING & DRINKING [despite Disney claiming him as a "non-drinker" since his 1940's redesign], showing up on a wasted ostrich to a cantina set in what's supposed to likely be Argentina or Mexico so he could battle Pete [by using a GUN initially to boot, before the giant feline knocks it out of his grasp] for flapper dancer Minnie's affections) were STILL made first. They were both silent picture shorts initially. However, "Steamboat Willie" in itself IS a landmark for Mickey & the Walt Disney Company overall, because it was the ORIGINAL cartoon "talkie" (the first animated ANYTHING with sound in it), after Walt had glimpsed a peek at _The Jazz Singer_ (which was the FIRST live-action film with sound, effectively replicating the New Orleans Jazzband feel) and he felt that he could, perhaps, repeat the feat by mixing sound into his cartoons. It was a gamble, because no cartoon before "Steamboat Willie" had ever used sound in it (meaning, the audience could only watch the action play out on-screen, but would've had to have imagined what the film would've sounded like in their heads) & Walt was banking on it being a success. Luckily, it was. So, with the release of "Steamboat Willie" to prove that cartoons with sound can be successful, both of the 2 earlier silent shorts were then remade with sound freshly added. It's due to "Steamboat Willie" being the first animated cartoon with sound that has allowed it to become Mickey's (and also Minnie's, as well as their nemesis Pete's) OFFICIAL debut as characters, despite the fact that the original silent versions of "Plane Crazy" & "Gallopin' Gaucho" were made prior to "Steamboat Willie", nonetheless.
4:09 he just gut punched the mouse XD
I once punched Chuck E. Cheese in the nose when I was 3.
It was during a birthday party for a classmate from the nursery school that I went to.
Why doesn't Mickey have a tail on his costume
Probably due to the problem of it being dragged against the ground or being stepped on. Could also just be an alternative design for Mickey that does not include a tail. Probably both, I don't know.
He has a magical ability of shrinking it down, just like how Stitch does with his arms and antennae. ;)
Angie2343 or he could just hide it in his pants :/
Miskey with 5-fingered, human hands is kinda unsettling
