Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park are known for bringing beloved Disney characters to life.

While “face” character performers like Cinderella or Aladdin engage in speaking roles, “fur” character performers, such as Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, embody non-speaking mascot-style characters.

These performers face unique challenges due to their large, headgear costumes, which often limit visibility and make it difficult to hear through layers of fur. Despite popular belief, these costumes are not air-conditioned, so it can get quite warm inside.

The viral video, shared by TikTok user @wayydreyy, shows a scene in Disney California Adventure Park where Mickey Mouse is walking behind a group of guests.

As Mickey waves cheerfully, a toddler suddenly runs in front of him and falls. Character attendants quickly step in to help, stabilizing Mickey and comforting the distressed child.

The video has prompted a flurry of comments. Many viewers criticized the child’s parents for not supervising their child more closely, with some even suggesting that the parents were more concerned with capturing a perfect video than ensuring their child’s safety.

Commenters were quick to express their sympathy for Mickey Mouse, with some humorously noting their relief that the Disney icon was unharmed.

“Thank goodness Mickey is okay!” wrote @kikethethroatguy, while @sadbxyyy6 added, “Aww, poor Mickey! Hope he’s okay!”
