[Phroobar]

She wore that makeup since the 70's.

So does my mother-in-law! <da dum>

Thank you! I'll be here all week. Try the veal.

I guess I should take this opportunity to finally admit that I don't care for Minnie. She annoys me.

Does this make you feel better?

LMAO completely!

Can barely tell the difference... Especially without having pics of new/old right next to each other. Was happy with the old ones and will be just as happy with the new ones! I dig the talking Mickey, but it's kind of creepy at the same time.

To me that should be the default costume. It seems strange to have both the articulated faces and static ones.

Sometimes you just gotta crank thru photos w/ the masses though... no time for chit-chat!

Yeah, and then there's the problem of photos with half-mast eyelids.

Pretty sure that's just the special Mickey costume they roll out on April 20th every year.

Here's a quick comparison

Here's a comparison

The most notable would have to be there pupils,mouth shape, and Minnie no longer wearing eyeliner and lipstick.

(1988/1989)

(Mid 2016)

I think I like the faces on the older ones better and the costumes on the newer ones. But ultimately, I don't care.

You left out the best news--no more 60th costumes!!! My rebel spies tell me they were a maintenance nightmare for costuming. Daisy's belt and Goofy's coat lining versus pants were especially bad. They were basically stage show costumes being used for meet and greet.

The real story behind the new Mickey/Minnie heads is that they are much lighter, but also more delicate. They have to be handled with two hands at all times, stored upright on vertical supports, not sideways, and are much more difficult to transport across the parks by the performers.

No wonder there heads dont look so huge.

Next we need Goofy, Chip/Dale, and Pluto to get a new look!

Appreciate your inside insight as always! Those two tidbits are very, very interesting. I didn't know the 60th costumes were such a hassle; honestly, I liked the blue and silver ones from the key art instead of the final blue-and-red costumes but that's just me.

Especially Chip N Dale, they had that look as early as mid 1981.

I actually wished they wore the blue and silvers ones.

They went with a different look for the park costumes because the merch art was so similar to the Year of a Million Dreams costumes. Another instance of that famous Disney communication!

I laughed WAY too hard at this...

I love Stitch's reaction.
