McCartney and Disney are also planning to release a Minnie Mouse T-shirt to celebrate International Women's Rights Day. It will only be available online and in McCartney's stores on March 8. This spring will also see the launch of a McCartney product line inspired by Fantasia.

Minnie Mouse is trending on Twitter because she's wearing a pantsuit as part of a Disneyland Paris promotion and the news is overreacting and acting like she ain't gonna wear her dress no more.
Bruh, this literally ain't the first time. Plus, she looks really good in a pantsuit. pic.twitter.com/R4cbkE2zXw

Minnie and the rest of the main Disney characters are also getting special iridescent costumes for Disneyland Paris' anniversary. Aladdin's Genie, Rapunzel, Woody, Jessie, and other characters will also get new costumes. Disneyland Paris released a very fun catwalk video with all the characters modeling their new looks. Even Pluto is going to wear an iridescent vest!

The only way I’ll be upset about Minnie Mouse’s new pants is if they don’t have real pockets.

Although there is no word that Minnie will ever wear the pantsuit outside of France, the costume caused quite a stir. Then again, many other longtime Disney fans pointed out that this is hardly the first time Minnie has ever been depicted wearing pants! In just one example, Captain Minnie Mouse wears pants on Disney Cruise Line voyages.

Pretending to be upset about Minnie Mouse wearing pants is just plain goofy.
Happy Thursday.

Disneyland Paris opened to the public on April 12, 1992, but the year-long anniversary event begins on March 6. Several events and new attractions are planned, including Avengers Campus, which is set to open this summer. Unlike the other Disney resorts outside the U.S., Disneyland Paris is the only one completely owned by the Walt Disney Company.

One Disney fan put together a thread off all the times Minnie Mouse didn't wear the now-famous polka dot red dress. Just like Mickey, Minnie's costume and design has evolved greatly over the past 90 years.

I applaud Stella McCartney and Disney for bringing Minnie into the 21st Century. That said, this looks a tad like PJs to me, and I wish Ms. McCartney had stuck with Minnie's traditional colors.

"Very Cute!! I hope most people know this is just likely promotional art and not an official redesign of the character," one fan tweeted.
