    Outrage as Disney debuts woke new look for Minnie Mouse, ditching iconic red dress in favor of a 'progressive' blue, sustainable pantsuit designed by Stella McCartney

    • Disneyland Paris unveiled the famous character's brand new outfit on Tuesday via Twitter - but many people quickly put the company on blast for the change
    • Minnie - who was created in 1928 - has famously worn a red and white polka-dot dress for years, but now, Disney thought it was time for a change
    • Stella created the new costume for her - in honor of Women’s History Month, which takes place in March, and in celebration of the park's 30th anniversary
    • She opted for a blue polka-dot blazer with matching pants - in an attempt to make her a 'symbol of progress for a new generation'
    • Despite having a few different outfits over her years as a cartoon, Minnie's signature red dress has become a staple for the character's look in the parks
    • She has also always worn a skirt or dress - and has never rocked pants before this, making her new outfit one that will go down in history
    • The change was met with a very cold shoulder from fans, with many people accusing the company of trying to be 'woke,' and calling her old outfit 'timeless'

    They should have given her a nice ass in a solid Grey pantsuit.

    They need a new character.
    There's Mickey and Minnie....
    There should be Maxi Mouse a third gender (pick) hero.
    The new pantsuit would be perfect.

    This is a good idea right? This might get kicked all the way upstairs to Barfo.

    But they kept the giant bow? Why not go all the way? Dress Micky and Minnie the same way so nobody can tell them apart.

    Ban Maus because reading about Nazi Holocaust makes white people uncomfortable, then get up in arms over cartoon mouse.

    Cooked snails - yuck. Why people don't switch like me to eating human flesh, raw of course, I'll never understand it but I can say this because of the idiots' revulsion at eating delicious live human flesh, More For Me.

    Minnie Mouse is getting ready to debut her very first pantsuit, an exclusive Stella McCarney design, in Paris.

    Mickey’s longtime girlfriend — known for her sweet smile, long eyelashes, and trademark polka dots and bow — is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Disneyland Paris with a stunning new look by the famed British designer.

    The beloved Disney character will debut her new fashion-forward style on March 6, in celebration of Women’s History Month, Disney said in a news release.

    “I am delighted to be working with the one, the only, the iconic Minnie Mouse,” McCartney said in a video during a digital press conference.

    “Minnie has always had a special place in my heart. We share the same values. What I love about Minnie is the fact that she embodies happiness, self-expression, authenticity and that she inspires people of all ages around the world. Plus, she has such great style,” she added.

    McCartney, who will also release a t-shirt featuring the design on March 8, said that she wanted Minnie to wear “her very first pantsuit at Disneyland Paris, so I have designed one of my iconic costumes — a blue tuxedo — using responsibly sourced fabrics,” she said of the outfit, which was named by Disney as Minnie’s “First Ultrachic Pantsuit.”

    I never gave Minnie a thought when I was a little boy. As far as I was concerned it was all about Mickey and later his mouse club.
