(Day 144) - Mouse Ears

The iconic Mickey Mouse ears! While this may be a toy here, at Disney Resorts you can buy Mickey ears to wear on your head.

I knew the hats were based on the iconic mouse but recently found out that they were inspired by his 1929 short The Karnival Kid, featuring a scene where Mickey tipped his ears to Minnie.

Here's an image of the scene:

Gotta love the way Mickey's ears bring a smile to the face. °o°

There is always something new to learn on 365. Terrific shot of the ears.

Thanks a plenty for the nice comments you all! Would love to see you or your families in Mickey Ears selfies one day. Haha! :P

@cruiser - Thanks so much for sharing that link Chris! I read that The Mickey Mouse Club started the trend and is what made so many people want to wear Mickey's Ears in the first place!

@shylaine3304 - That's so kind of you to say Erika! It's my goal to create more & more simple and awesome photos that parents would love to hang in their kids room. Smiles all around. :)
