The circus master

Welcome us to the show

More fun with Mickey

And in the Center Ring…Mickey!

Mickey has played so many different rolls in his movie career, it is always fun to see which one that will get picked for Hallmark’s Mickey’s Movie Mousterpieces ornament series.  For 2019, they went with the 1936 short “Mickey’s Circus” as their inspiration.

The short itself features Mickey and Donald putting on a special performance of their circus for a crowd of orphans.  After the introduction from Mickey, Donald takes over with his performing seals, but it is the seal pup that steals the show – and the fish.  From there, Mickey and Donald accidently get caught up in a high wire act with the orphans trying to make it more dangerous for them.

But this ornament comes from the beginning as Mickey is welcoming everyone to the show for the day.  While Mickey is his usual black and white self, his circus master costume is a red, blue, and yellow primary color outfit and looks great.  His hat is in one hand and his baton is in the other.

Between Mickey’s feet and his coattails, there is plenty of surface touching, so you can set this out on any flat surface and enjoy it year-round.  The eight in a Christmas tree series marker is on the bottom of Mickey’s feet.  He does tip forward noticeably when you go to hang him, but a few well-placed Christmas tree branches will hide that.

Mickey’s Circus makes a nice addition to the ornament series.  The colors help him stand out on your tree, and you can’t help but smile as you look at him.  Any Mickey fan will be glad to have this in their collection.
