Just who IS in those costumes? AND are they coached how to act?

[MIKETFROMRI]

Ive often wondered who they get to fill some of those charecter costumes. Like, for example...Minnie, is it always a female in those or do they just look for whoever fits in it? There are times we are sitting at dinner say, and Minnie comes over acting sshy, and cute and I will say " Hey minnie and smile at her(?) BUT is it a guy Im talking to sometimes?....just wondering
Minnie, daisey, donald, piglet etc....only certain size people can fill those..
so im just wondering the proccess in picking people..are they coached ?( I would think)

The characters are cast by height. Gender plays no part of the process.

And, yes, the characters are taught certain mannerisms...

So...I would guess that, yes, you have probably interacted with a male at some point. Don't worry about it.

I've always disliked the idea of Minnie possibly being a man.

It would be a really short male. Would that still make him a man? :lol::lookaroun

Absolutely correct. Fitting the costume is paramount. Gender never even enters into the equation. The only exception being of course face characters.

Yup, it's height and the ability to match the character's mannerisms. Never gender.

Mickey and Donald are almost always female, for example.

I've always disliked the idea of Minnie possibly being a man.

Are you that insecure about yourself that that's an issue?

Not in the least. It just spoils the illusion for me a little.

How? Unless you truly believe you're hugging a 5 foot tall mouse, the illusion has already been spoiled.

 

[MickeyPeace]

I almost crushed Chip one time by giving him a strong dude hug. Must have been a chick in there.
Does that make me straight?! OMG!

Not if you are truly young at heart. When I step inside that bubble I am living the illusion.

If you really feel that way, why would you bother even wasting time with character interaction?
