This pic is terrifying. I saw it yesterday, but it took me a day to get over it enough to reply. As a child, I think I would have run away screaming or wet myself.
...and why are they making that child kneel on the pavement?

Full grown adult, not gonna lie, that particular Mickey and Minnie are nightmare inducing. As a child, I would have definitely had an accident.

The chunk face versions are just as bad... How on earth was that allowed? It looks like they got into a fight and had pieces carved out of their faces.

Saw these whilst swimming on the web....

Brutus, Nero, Medusa, Orville, Evenrude, Benard & Bianca from the Rescuers

And another of Orville

 

[Communicore]

These are so scary! Bring em out for the villains party as they do look quite the beasts. Even the Beast looks better than these beasts lol

 

[Bairstow]

Wow, that Orville suit looks really good.
Looks like the actor can spread the wings out really far too.
Wish they'd bring that one back.

Mickey: "So, you won't talk. Minnie, get the cheese grater."

I know this is a stupid statement considering Mickey now a days is mainly a woman, but boy, Mickey looks more feminine than Minnie in that picture!

Oh it gets worse

And what is creepy about the above one is that Mickey and Minnie appear to have chunks taken out of their faces How Walt allowed this to happen is quite odd.

I presume those cuts in their faces didn't show up QUITE so much in real life, but yeah, it does look like someone has been hacking pieces out of them. They're all creepy! Are most of these guys pre park or post? Does anyone know?

A little off topic but has there ever been a J. Thaddeus Toad character in the parks?

Yes.

They all look deranged, psychotic even. Thank the lord they have newer ones. Those old costumes could be used to scare the hell out of people on halloween........I want them!

 

[WondersOfLife]

A majority of these pictures are actually Disneyland... So I decided to find Disney World's version of the highest form of creepiness. That award goes to Test Track in Epcot!

"Hello.... I want to play a game."

I always found these guys creepy since they don't have a face.

When I was little, I honestly thought they were just walking pieces of a green-screen.

well, now I understand why there didn't use to be long lines to greet the characters!!
