Mickey Mouse Through The Years 1955-Present

Ok....
Im going to take it round to the Disney Corner and talk to you about lets see... Ah Mickey Mouse costumes through the years..

1955-1959: The Ice Capades
The Ice Capades were kind of akward because the actors had BIG view holes to see where they were going but the child could see the actor inside of the costume.
 

 1956-1959: The Ice Capades V.2
This costume is the same as version one except they don't have massive viewing holes so the child can't see the actor.

1959-1961: The Bobble-Heads
Disney is having its 5th birthday and decide to redesign the costume of Mickey Mouse.
The heads are very big compared to the body and i dont think i really like this kind of version of Mickey Mouse.

1960-1963: Big Head

These costumes are really awkward besides the first one because the actors head is inside the hat that is why they are always wearing something on their head. Lots of other characters got this kind of look and the bad part about it is that they can't do alot of movements the only movements they can do is to move the arms and legs.
They couldn't even hold anything with their hands. I don't really like this type of costume.

1962-1977: The Common Mickey
I like these types now, they are getting into the more modren mickey.
They made a mold for this mickey and the person that played mickey at the time was a bit short not as tall as they are now.
Mr. Disney wanted Mickey to have a consistent performer and he found a man named Paul Castle. Mr. Castle (1923-2010) was a professional figure skater and performed on the Disney Ice Capades (coincidence?). He was a short man, about 4' 6" tall. Walt hired Castle to be the main Mickey Mouse performer. When ever Walt went somewhere, he took Mickey and Paul was always the performer. Paul Castle performed as Mickey at Disneyland and other events for over 25 years.

1978-1992: The 80's Version
There isn't much to talk about here all that has changed was that they got a costume change not any body features..

1986: Winkin' Mickey
I was searching about and found an old disney advert and i found out they made a special mickey head for that ONE advert or more, he only blinks out of the only eye, which is the right eye.

Winking 80's Mickey footage, slowed down

 Thanks to Pupepepets for the footage!

2004-Present: Proper Mickey

They released the best mickey yet!

and this one is the one that is in the park right now!

The only thing that is diffirent is the head, the mold is diffirent.

2004-Present: Talking Mickey!

In 2004 they made a talking mickey mouse that can say things like: hi-ya pal, hot dog, cheese, bye, ect.

The proformer inside has wires on his figures to open and close the eyes and mouth and just a slight move can acivate it.
Mickey talks off of pre recored tracks.

2010-Present: Robo Mickey!
Yes thats right..
They made a mickey that can say your name and can really talk to you!
It works diffirently this time, there is a mic inside that transforms the actors voice into mickeys voice and when the actor talks the mouth moves!
So this means that if you have a hat or a dress mickey will say what a lovely hat or dress!
He would even say your name.
But there has been some jam ups like the mouth being broken while proforming and ect.

Here is a video showing the robo Mickey!

But this has been the Review of all of the costumes of Mickey Mouse at disney!
