What would Walt Disney say? Mickey and Minnie Mouse, left, have gotten a makeover that put him in a bright red Mao suit and her in a cherry-blossom red dress â all in an effort to appeal to Chinese tourists at Hong Kong Disneyland, The Associated Press reported. Mickey and Minnie strutted along a red carpet on Monday to display their new outfits, designed by Vivienne Tam, while nine other models showed off red and black dresses featuring Mickey Mouse patterns. âIâve liked Mickey Mouse since I was very little,â said Ms. Tam, who was reared in Hong Kong and works in New York. Amid disappointing attendance at Hong Kong Disneyland, which opened in 2005, Ms. Tam was brought in to help attract more tourists from the mainland, which has become the parkâs biggest market. Bill Ernest, the parkâs managing director, said, âOur mission is to be very connected with the local culture â with mainland China, Hong Kong.â.
