That was well handled by “Mickey,” but I supposed the Disney cast have to deal with this crap a zillion times a day and get quite well versed at it.

Kudos for the cast member inside not breaking character but handling the situation appropriately.

What’s that parent doing bringing a kid to Disneyland anyway? Doesn’t he know there are giant anthropomorphic animals with poor vision galumphing around the park?

I was wondering about the visibility from inside the costumes; it must require the cast members to keep their eyes, heads, and upper bodies on the swivel at all times.

You’d rather film at Disneyland that heed your child’s distress?
M. I. C. K. E. Y. will call the C. P. S.!

I remember reading something where Pedro Pascal was complimented on his subtle acting in The Mandalorian: he always turned his head to look at things instead of just moving his eyes, exactly like someone would if they were used to wearing a helmet with limited peripheral vision.
I imagine a Mickey costume would be like that, only more so.

The costumed characters also have escorts (the two guys in khakis and matching shirts) who provide extra eyes (and muscle if guests get out of hand).

I want to say the correct term is ‘handlers’; I could be waay off, though.

Unless it’s one of those horrific costumes that was optimized for visibility for use by Icecapades performers.

I think their standard pitch is “We have such sights to show you.”
