Walt Disney Imagineer Ethan Reed posted on Instagram about some of the special details he included in Minnie’s Style Studio at Tokyo Disneyland as the Creative Director on the project.
Reed shared his excitement about including not only Figaro, but Johnny Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet in the attraction. Johnny Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet appeared in a segment of Make Mine Music in 1946 that was later released as a standalone short in 1954.
Reed gave us a look at how Figaro and the hats came to life, from concept art to final product.
As also noted on his Instagram, Freed was unfortunately included in the wave of mass layoffs involving WDI. The company has lost an incredible talent.
Minnie’s Style Studio, where guests can meet Minnie Mouse, is now open at Tokyo Disneyland. You can get a closer look at the attraction in our post from earlier this week.
