The hack job done on Mickey and Minnie in this photo is the exactly why the Disney Company sues when people use their characters without licensing permission. Some people think it's extreme when Disney legal goes after a nursery school for painting Disney characters on their playground wall, but I don't blame them a bit. Those characters are all trademark protected for a good reason. The horrible representation of Mickey and Minnie we see here seems to me like the visual version of slander.
P.S. After taking a longer second look and thinking about the evolution of the Mickey park costume since opening day at Disneyland 55 years ago, I think these costumes could actually have been licensed 30 or 40 years ago.
I agree Susan I am sure the "entertainers" charge children groups for their characters
