Empowering Minnie

Minnie Mouse is the iconic partner of Mickey Mouse, and she has always been one of Walt Disney’s ultimate symbols of good manners and femininity. Ever since she made her first appearance in the 1928 short film “Steamboat Willie,” Minnie has been a favorite of the fans—and yes, she won’t even mind stealing your man’s attention, as seen here!

On the occasion of the Disneyland Paris 30th Anniversary, Minnie’s iconic red dress was replaced by a pantsuit. The decision was controversial but meant to celebrate Women’s History Month. According to Forbes, the pantsuit is seen as a symbol of women empowerment.

All Ready for Splash Mountain

Splash Mountain is one of the most famous attractions in Disneyland, especially for visitors who enjoy getting wet. The four friends in the picture even decided to make a well-rehearsed joke about it, posing for a picture with shower caps, rubber ducks, and even a razor (which somehow got past security)!

Even though Splash Mountain is famous on its own by now, it was initially inspired by the 1964 movie “Song of the South,” one of the first Disney projects to combine live-action and animation in the same production. Replicas of the original Splash Mountain in Anaheim, California, can be visited at Tokyo Disneyland and Magic Kingdom Park.

No Love for Mice

It’s a fact that most people don’t like mice, but it’s simply rude to go to Disneyland with a T-shirt that can be misinterpreted as a threat by the likes of Minnie and Mickey Mouse. The man in the picture had no bad intentions, though: he was simply supporting his favorite artist, the Canadian electronic music producer Deadmau5.

Reportedly, Walt Disney decided that Mickey should be a mouse because he was inspired by a tame mouse that used to hang out at his desk in Kansas City, Missouri! From that day onwards, he’s helped to convince many that mice can be cute, lovely animals.

Two Canine Heroes

If there’s someone who deserves to have fun at Disneyland, that’s a service dog like the Golden Retriever in the picture. Service dogs are trained to support people with medical disabilities and can completely transform the lives of their owners. In other words, they are real-life canine heroes!

Speaking of canine heroes, doesn’t the service dog in the photo look super happy to meet Pluto? Arguably the most famous cartoon dog in the world, Pluto made his debut in the 1930 short film “The Chain Gang” and has been Mickey Mouse’s best furry friend ever since. Initially a bloodhound, he’s now officially a mixed-breed dog.

Ruined Childhood

Nothing screams “ruined childhood” like a picture of Mickey Mouse losing his girlfriend to one of his best friends. We’re happy that this is nothing but an act because it would be sad to see Mickey and Minnie divorce after so many years together. After all, Walt Disney himself stated that “outside of work,” Mickey and Minnie are husband and wife.

As for Goofy, he’s being a cruel traitor right now! Over the years, he has been Mickey’s inseparable best friend alongside Donald Duck. Clarabelle Cow was introduced as Goofy’s girlfriend in the “Super Goof” comic book series, so she probably also has something to say about this photo.
