    I remember when my family came across the talking Mickey for the first time, we were all so shocked that he could talk lol. My mom even said “Mickey you can talk?” And he said “of course I can!!!!” It was so freaking cool, it makes me sad that the talking Mickey isn’t at Disney world anymore.
  • You know what's funny about it? The 50th episode of DIStory is an updated version of the first DIStory episode. We've come full circle.
  • @Spindash54
    I love the Kingdom Hearts outfit Mickey has had for some promotional events. Donald and Goofy too. I wish we could meet those more often.
  • @mateo6116
    I love his classic red pant outfit. He very rarely comes out with his classic pants, but when he does it is very awesome
  • @Everik-ct6pg
    I find it interesting how they kept the 50's eyebrow design for so long. It's not my favorite look for his head, but it's definitely iconic.
  • @spacebagel7556
    Tbh i just love anytime they put mickey in a suit. He just looks so cute and dapper.
  • @Cyannas
    Geez I remember seeing Dream Along With Mickey show for the first time and my eyes just bugged out of my head in astonishment at how GOOD they looked. My (then infant) daughter gets to have a childhood in a world where Mickey Mouse can actually talk to her. Well...it was wonderful while it lasted.
  • @ashlee7088
    Could you some how do the evolution of different musicals and/or rides… it’s so funny on some original rides from the parks!!
  • Now that's something I didn't expect, a reboot to your first ever Distory video.
  • @stefaniete4756
    I want talking Mickey back, too. That was so amazing to see and hear.
  • I've seen the Snow White debut and "horror face Mickey" costumes before (I take sadistic delight in pulling up the 1949 costumes to show friends who have never seen that nightmare before), but I've never seen the vaudeville ones before! They're actually quite charming! Definitely only meant to be seen on a stage, and not super up close, but they're not completely terrifying! Edit: Oops, commented before the end of the video. Could you possibly talk about Three Musketeers Mickey? Do Mickey, Donald, and Goofy's musketeer outfits only exist in the international parks, or have they been seen in California/Florida? I have such a soft spot for that movie, it'd be great to know where I have a chance to see that costume! Also, this might be a video all to itself, but did you know Tokyo Disney has a different themed Halloween celebration each year? It's so fun seeing what they do and what Mickey and friends are wearing each year! My favorite was Mysterious Masquerade!

    Hopefully there will come a day when you can actually talk to Mickey without all the dialogue being prerecorded. Maybe if they installed something inside the costume that allowed the performer inside the costume to talk and alter their voice to sound like Mickey himself
  • My little brother (4) met Mickey in 2020, he was 3. He paused there, then he slowly walked, with a slight hunch and his arms extended towards Mickey, then he ran and hugged him :))
  • I had no idea there was ever a talking Mickey in the parks. I bet it would be tricky trying to figure out what to say on the spot when playing the most iconic character representing a wholesome brand. Not being able to say anything is much easier, but if they bring it back I will definitely have to go!
  • @LITTLE1994
    Wow, I NEVER knew all this. Incredible video. If my mother, who loves Mickey to death, ever see the talking Mickey, I guarantee she will be in tears, and I probably would, too. I'm sad they stopped that wonderful thing! If only Walt Disney himself managed to live into the 1980s or '90s, he would've been so happy seeing his own creation becoming more realistic and accurate to the way he made Mickey...
  • @jonmcintosh8433
    I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve been keeping a Talking Mickey revamp under wraps for the WDW 50th.
  • @chrissymash
    The kingdom hearts costume he got to wear once! Donald and Goofy have ones too and were seen in them a little more than mickey. I think they even had the Donald and Goofy one in a Disney Fairytale Wedding event.
  • @MicheleKlinger
    Happy 50th DIStory episode! These are always such a joy, and an almost half hour deep dive into Mickey Mouse has made my day today. I can't wait to see what other DIStory deep dives are coming
  • @coolguyhino92
    The "Big Head" era is low-key one of my favorite eras. Each era has at least some continuity from the last, but the big head is a black sheep. It entered and exited the DIStory books on rash decisions. The previous one was normal height, and based on the one before it. * Big change ->now they're tiny and can't interact. The one after it was back to normal height. I just enjoy how hard a turn they took to get to the big head, and did another hard turn to escape it. Not before nor since has disney taken so hard a turn from one era to another. And yet Big Head did it twice.
