It would just have to be a very small dress. Good thing Disney has perfected mouse labor. Get them little fingers to sewing!

Why is Doc McStuffins at HS 7 feet tall?

The comments are pretty funny, but we are talking about Walt Disney World, who is supposed to provide the most immersive environment for their stories, and the only place to see authentic characters. There are endless threads of poor show, quality issues, and cutting corners, but when it comes to the characters, they are given a pass for some reason. Ariel is supposed to be a 16 year old girl, but she does not look like a halloween costume, stands to reason the other human characters should should be given the same appearance.
I guess I shouldn't expect anything else from Hollywood Studios, the bar keep dropping there.

The Disney Jr. characters don't really translate well to the parks, I noticed.

Some of these replies crack me up.
I think that part of the issue is that Ariel was drawn in a more realistic style but the Disney Jr. characters were intended to look more "cartoonish." That makes it harder to represent Disney Jr. as live characters without the suits and "human" character suits always tend to look a bit off.

Just out of curiosity, does your daughter ask about any of the Incredibles?
No, and they do not know who the incredibles are, and I would expect to see them in a suit, just like Mickey, and Buzz, and so on.
This is exactly my argument, it is not hard to do. Just like they filled a cartoon Anna and Elsa. Have a casting call, look the part, and provide a more realistic experience. I am sorry, but the characters look ridiculous.

I mean this entirely seriously, can't WDW employ little people for these roles?
I believe they can very easily find a 5 foot, 18 year old brunette girl to act as Sofia. She would be smaller, more petite, and more believable than that oversized bobble head my girls met.

Funny. Sophia was the first non face character my 3.5 year old kiddo would open up to and even allow to get near her. All the others she stood far away or clutched one of us.

I think the characters look just like who they portray. The cartoon characters themselves are very disproportional.
If you had face characters then that would look really stupid as the cartoons have huge heads.
I'm pretty sure than the Orlando area has a shortage of balloon head people.

Have you ever seen the cartoon characters? It seems as if you haven't.
I have seen the cartoon characters, my girls watch them. Anna and Elsa have tiny noses in Frozen, and they do not resort to ridiculous costumes to accurately represent their face proportions. They have real people, and it makes for a better experience, even if they do not look exactly like the cartoon. I prefer the human experience, and Disney is held to a high standard in providing unique experiences. When you put people in a suit like they do for Disney Jr. cast, it 'cheapens' the experience.

So...in order to be true to your vision of what Disney should do with "their" characters, Mickey Mouse should be a face character in order to offer a better experience.
Great idea. They definitely should have both together for meet and greets.
