Mickey's Buttons....

[DarkImage4]

Alright, I hope this belongs here....

This past trip to WDW with my wife and 2 of our friends has brought up a question about a tiny bit of trivial information. About Mickey's Buttons....

Are they supposed to be YELLOW or WHITE?

The walk around Mickey has white buttons, PAL Mickey has white buttons, the Mickey shorts and feet mug sold in the parks have white buttons...

BUT...

The hat I bought has yellow buttons, the Scattered Mickey Shorts pillow has yelloe button, and I think that the bags from the stores have yellow buttons....

I am coinfused.....

Which is it supposed to be? Is there some reason as the why Mickey is sometimes shown with yellow and sometimes white buttons? Is there some "rule" that governs when the buttons are which color?

What gives?

Sorry, but this is just irking me....

Well, you've got me all intrigued now. I have a stuffed Mickey from WDW from 2002. He has white buttons. I have a stuffed Mickey from DL from 1971. He has yellow buttons. Hmm.....:veryconfu

Never a truer word has been said!

If people listened to Calvin and Hobbes more, the world would be a better place.

I believe that officially, his buttons are yellow. In the parks, I believe they are black because it looks better with his tuxedo costume that he usually wears in the parks. Same way his shoes are black in the parks insteed of thier usual yellow.

Why thank you.....

I'm still all confused though..... :brick: :hammer:

Even if we take the Mickey in the parks out of the equation, there's still some random nature as to Mickey having yelloe or white buttons.....

I dunno, maybe I'm making a mountain out of a molehill....but this just keeps irking me.....my wife keeps giving me weird looks when I bring it up. I say it's all her fault for turning me into a Disney freak in the first place .

well i went upstairs and looked in my daughters room, she has my first Mickey, Mickey is about 4 feet tall and was made by Knickerbocker (did I spell that right?) Corp. He has Yellow Shoes and Yellow Buttons, I asked my mom exactly when i got Mickey, she said it was when i was 2yrs old, so that would have been 1974 and my dad bought him on my first trip to Disneyland. Now my youngest daughter has a much smaller mickey about 12 inches and he was bought in MK 2002 he has white buttons, so really all I was able to do is add to the confusion still maybe the poor mouse just wont wear white after Labor Day!

To add more confusion-I have the Mickey parts tea kettle with yellow buttons sitting on my counter below my Mickey oven mitt with white buttons! (and they were bought at the same time this past May)LOL I guess they decide the color by what would accent the piece best??

Sorry....that bared repeating...:lol: :lol: :lol:

In all seriousness...if this question is really bothering you, you should consider getting the Disney Magazine and writing into the "ask Dave Smith" column. Dave Smith (correct me if I'm worng) helps to maintain part of the Disney archives and he answers many, shall we say, unusual, questions in his column of the magazine. He knows pretty much anything you could ever want to know about Disney, and if he can't anwser it...well, then there is no anwser Actually, his section is my favorite part of the magazine.

I'll be looking for your question in the next issue!
