Apparel replicating the likenesses of characters from the animated series “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” and intended for wear on the Halloween holiday constitutes a specific segment of the costume market. These items typically feature depictions of Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Pluto in child-sized or adult-sized garments suitable for trick-or-treating or costume parties. An example includes a child dressed as Mickey Mouse wearing trademark ears and red shorts adorned with white circles.
Such character-themed attire leverages the widespread recognition and enduring popularity of the Disney brand. The costumes provide children with an opportunity to embody familiar and beloved figures. Historically, character-based costumes have been a consistently strong segment of the Halloween industry, capitalizing on the emotional connection children form with media properties. Licensing agreements between costume manufacturers and Disney ensure the accurate representation of these characters.
