Though many Disney fans were thrilled about the mouse’s makeover, others were not so enthused that Minnie would be ditching her usual polka dot dress.
“Minnie Mouse is throwing out her dresses to wear a pants suit. Now they’vetaken away Minnie’s sexinesstoo. I don’t like this timeline we’re living in,” one user wrote on Twitter.
Anothertweeted, “They put Minnie Mouse in a pants suit. What has the world come to?”
Conservative political commentatorCandace Owensalso chimed in on Fox News’Jesse Watters Primetime LiveWednesday.
When asked about her thoughts, she first referencedMars, Incorporated’s redesign of its M&M characters.
“Let me just tell you, Jesse, it goes back to what they did with the M&Ms, and now they are making [Minnie] more masculine. I’m glad they are seeing that this needed to be addressed,” Owens said.
She quipped, “All of us were traumatized when we saw Minnie Mouse and she was looking like a female as we were growing up!”
She claimed, “They’re trying to destroy fabrics of our society, pretending that there are issues so everybody looks over here. ‘Look at Minnie Mouse, don’t look at inflation … ' The world was going forward because we got her in a pants suit. Never mind that you can’t get anything at the grocery store and you can’t find a piece of bacon unless you got 30 dollars in your pocket.”
“At least we’re addressing the real problem, which is Minnie Mouse,” she concluded.
