It's clearly Minnie.

Her hands are even bigger....Minnie has massive feet for a mouse.
yeah.... this feels weird. it's not like they haven't done changes before, but.... this change feels very, very strange. It's obviously a PR gimmick and feels... fake somehow.
Enh... I don't get a good vibe when I hear "symbol of progress" though.They just got Stella McCartney to do a special design. It's not going to replace the traditional Minnie Mouse outfit. Anyway, it looks like she's wearing pyjamas so I doubt Disney will be that happy with it. The furore is entirely with pundits seeking something to gripe about; they are always with us in some form or another. But the publicity is always welcome for the copyright holders.

The next announcement will be that Minnie is now a lesbian/was a man all along/is a vegan!

Oh my God. This is the stuff of nightmares!!
Has an Overlook Hotel air to it.
She also wears clothes and a hat, and can talk, but you don't remark on any of that.Minnie has massive feet for a mouse.
Shudder!Has an Overlook Hotel air to it.

looking at it, I think it's a staged photo, like they had a photographer on stage and told everyone to pose with their mask on.The date and location of this oft-memed photo are unknown. It's definitely from the early to mid 1930s, and it shows kids attending a Mickey Mouse Club Saturday meeting and matinee at a local movie theater. The club and Saturday activities were quite a fad nationwide.
Oddly, Disney didn't initiate the Mickey Mouse Club phenomenon. California theater owners started it. When they contacted Disney about merchandising, etc., Disney joined in as a more or less silent partner and supplier.
This article provides an overview of the fad's history, club activities, and how Disney and the theater owners exploited the project for years.

The Horror! The Horror!
It's Mickey, but not as you've ever seen him before.
A trailer for a slasher film, featuring a masked killer dressed as Mickey Mouse, was released on 1 January, the day that Disney's copyright on the earliest versions of the cartoon character expired in the US.
"We just wanted to have fun with it," the movie's director said.
A new Mickey-inspired horror game, showing the rodent covered with blood stains, also dropped on the same day.
Steamboat Willie, a 1928 short film featuring early non-speaking versions of Mickey and Minnie, entered the public domain in the US on New Year's Day. It means cartoonists, novelists and filmmakers can now rework and use the earliest versions of Mickey and Minnie.
In the horror comedy thriller, called Mickey's Mouse Trap, a young woman is thrown a surprise birthday party in an amusement arcade - but things quickly take a turn for the worse when she and her friends encounter a knife-wielding murderer in a Mickey costume.
"A place for fun, a place for friends, a place for hunting. The mouse is out," the trailer screams in red text.
"I mean it's Steamboat Willie's Mickey Mouse murdering people. It's ridiculous," film director Jamie Bailey said. "We ran with it and had fun doing it and I think it shows."
The film itself does not have a confirmed release date but is expected to be out this March.

If they still cared they'd have lobbied Congress again to get the laws changed. I think they've got too much else going on these days to worry about keeping the copyright on the Steamboat Willie version of Mickey Mouse.Do they realise that it's just the early stuff has gone public domain and that Disney still hold the Trademark to all the characters. The resulting law-suits should be fun.
In spite of being a bear.The copyright on Winnie the Pooh ran out and he was a big cash cow.
