Many have noted how off-model and scary looking the original Disneyland costumes were for the animated characters. Shot #1 shows where they came from: The Ice Capades. For opening day, these were the costumes seen in the park and on TV sets all across the country. Yes...somewhat unsettling!
This undated shot shows some progress (the slats above the mouth are gone), but Minnie still looks extremely freakish!
By 1960, even more improvement is visible, despite the fact that Minnie appears to have had an overly agressive eye-brow lift!
This February 1962 shot of Mickey is really odd; looks like the California heat may have melted the poor guy’s face:
Minnie looks more like she stepped out of Munchkinland in this 1962 photo:
Fast forward to today, with the characters being able to blink (well, in Florida at least) and you can see just how far they have come.
