HOLIDAY DECORATIONS for Mickey Mouse's birthday

The main colors to use at a birthday party are a combination of red, black and yellow (orange) for a classic Mickey Mouse birthday party. For the theme “Mickey Mouse. Baby" use a blue color scheme.

Use these colors in balloons and compositions made from them, decorative pom-poms

, in paper garlands, streamers and banners.

Among the paper decorations, we recommend paying special attention to paper pinwheel umbrellas

, in the center of which you can paste a circle with images of Mickey Mouse.

A huge image of Mickey Mouse and (optional) other cartoon characters, Mickey Mouse bows, Mickey Mouse head or ears, gloved hands, drawn or printed are perfect for decorating doors, walls, or a sweet table

and, of course, for a themed photo zone.

Additional decor can be foil balloons, balloon figures or a piñata in the shape of Mickey Mouse and/or with his image.

Suits

If you don't want to bother your parents, ask them to choose light-colored T-shirts + any bottom, and prepare Mickey Mouse-style accessories for little guests. They are easy to make with your own hands or remake purchased ones in a suitable color.

These can be stickers and badges, caps with pictures and/or ears, polka dot glasses, bow ties/ties for boys, ears with an elastic band or headband with a bow for girls. Masks of Goofy, Donald, Pluto, etc. will be useful for a photo shoot.

A costume party within this theme does not require complicated preparation . You can buy a suitable children's suit or choose something similar, decorating the outfit with a print, buttons, and faces. Mickey Mouse style clothes for a boy - knee socks/tights, T-shirt, red shorts with suspenders.

For girls, a fluffy dress with polka dots, satin white gloves with ruffles, a large bow . Quite simply: skirts made of red or pink tulle with black/white polka dots (glued on top), a white T-shirt or with a themed print.

For your works in Photoshop, paint for Mickey Mouse's birthday

Especially for your creativity for a birthday in the style of Mickey Mouse

This is a useful selection of materials for working in photo editors and Photoshop: clipart on a transparent background, digital backgrounds (textures) for Photoshop, files for editing in psd format, various files in png format (with a transparent background) for inserting photos.

To work with these files, you will need installed programs: Photoshop (psd files), paint - this is a standard built-in program for editing files, you can add inscriptions to JPG or PNG files. Photos in png format frame files must be inserted in photo editors (Photoshop, Illustrator and others).

Decor

It’s easy to convey a thematic mood when there is a color beacon. Black, red and yellow plus a fun polka dot print are perfect for this theme. Thanks to the game of contrast, the design will be colorful and bright - suitable for both boys and girls.

Perhaps the little princess will like pink instead of rich red . Then “mute” the black to gray, it will turn out soft and tasteful. At a Mickey Mouse themed party for a girl, use a lot of ribbons, flowers, and bows.

If your budget isn’t too tight, buy all your paper decor online – you’ll save a lot of time. But many decorations and attributes are really easy to make with your own hands from scrap materials; the number of MKs tends to infinity! To create an ambiance you will need:

• garlands - circles on a ribbon, triangles with a picture inside or just multi-colored ones, characters mixed together. Vertical, horizontal, curtains in doors, garlands on walls and curtains;

• Circular fans made of crepe paper in different colors and sizes are an easy way to convey color. Glue pictures inside the circle, attach ears from smaller circles to several “fans”;

• use Mickey Mouse style attributes for decoration - boots, gloves, bows, buttons, suspenders. For example, you can glue boots and gloves to the frame as if a mouse is holding it in his hands. Put fake suspenders on the backs of chairs, glue bright cardboard buttons of different sizes to anything - garlands, dishes, textiles;

• a congratulatory banner or banner - at the entrance, above the candy bar, in the photo zone . Download the letters and glue them inside the black silhouettes of the head. Templates where characters hold letters look nice - any inscription on a stand/stretch;

• It’s also easy to make a birthday number in the style of Mickey Mouse with your own hands . For example, tightly glue buds made of corrugated paper onto a cardboard base: at the bottom are red “pants” with suspenders, at the top is a black “shirt”. Glue the ears to the figure - you're done;

• place suitable toys here and there . Not only Mickey, but also his friends - Minnie, Goofy, Donald and Daisy, Chip and Dale, Pluto, etc. Borrow toys from friends, you will get a large collection - a real Disney Land;

If you print large posters of scenes from cartoons (summer sunny views, greenery, houses, flower meadows), you will get an amazing atmosphere - children will seem to find themselves inside a cartoon story.

• fluffy pompoms and bright balls will fill the room with festive colors ! Glue the faces of the mouse and his friends to some of the balls. Buy some hero-shaped foil balloons. Attach thematic pictures to the ribbons of helium balloons with a stapler;

• your children's party in the style of Mickey Mouse will probably be remembered by the guests for a long time, if you take the time to create a castle with towers, flags (like Disney's), and windows for faces . This is always a noticeable element of the holiday, additional entertainment and a great photo zone!

For the lock you will need a large box/sheet of cardboard, a stationery knife and paints. Acrylic looks much richer than gouache and gives gloss. And gouache can cause cardboard to become deformed.

To prevent the structure from collapsing, place several chairs behind it, make holes in the castle wall, and tie cardboard to the backs of the chairs with fishing line.

• life-size characters (as tall as a child) at the entrance, along the walls, in the photo zone . Cardboard + printout or drawing. For some, you can make windows instead of faces, you get a tantamaresque;

• a stand with funny photos of the birthday boy at 1 year, 2, 3 and beyond, or by month on a thematic background : a silhouette of a head, a polka dot frame and bright backing paper. Or use bright clothespins/bows to collect photos of the birthday boy and cartoons onto a ribbon.

Mickey Mouse themed birthday decor

Thematic decor: photo props, masks, posters of numbers - stylized according to the Mickey Mouse theme - this is always a very good and simple technique in order to support the overall style of the holiday. Numbers decor can be used in the form of a poster, figured toppers, balloon pendants. Print out masks and photo props - you're guaranteed fun for the kids.

Invitations

Make your party invitation in the recognizable Mickey Mouse style. For example, a card in the shape of Mickey for boys and Minnie for girls . Or “pocket” pants, from which the silhouette of a head sticks out funny (card with text).

There are a lot of beautiful templates at your disposal with a window for the invitation text and/or photo of the birthday person. If time is running out, this is the ideal option - download, correct what you need in the editor, and print.

Moving to TV

With the advent of television, Walt Disney very quickly recognized the prospects of the new medium and was again one of the first to use it.
For the first time, viewers were able to see at home all the old cartoons featuring Mickey, which had previously only been shown in movie theaters, and in 1955, Disney created the children's show “The Mickey Mouse Club,” which aired for several years and was then regularly revived in different eras and with by different actors. For example, in the early nineties, thanks to The Mickey Mouse Club, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling first appeared on the screen. Still from the intro of the show “The Mickey Mouse Club”

Also in 1955, the first Disneyland theme park opened, where visitors were, of course, greeted by Mickey Mouse. Mickey posed for photographs, commanded parades on national holidays, and generally did whatever was required on behalf of the company.

In 1983, Mickey appeared on the big screen for the first time in thirty years, playing the title role in Mickey's Christmas Carol, a half-hour adaptation of Charles Dickens' famous story A Christmas Carol.

In 1988, Mickey made a cameo appearance in the Robert Zemeckis comedy Who Framed Roger Rabbit, sharing screen time with his longtime rival Bugs Bunny. And this is not a joke - so that both characters could appear in the frame, Disney and Warner Bros. signed a special agreement ensuring that both characters would receive equal screen time.

Mickey and comics

No sooner had Mickey become a movie star than he immediately took over other media.
On January 13, 1930, Mickey first appeared on newspaper pages. The script for the first issues of the comic was written by Walt Disney himself, and the strips were drawn by Ub Iwerks. Newspaper comics were quite popular entertainment in the twenties and thirties of the last century; it was on the pages of newspapers that such popular characters as Popeye, Prince Valiant, Buck Rogers and Tintin first appeared. As a rule, a whole page was devoted to comics, comics were published daily and were in black and white, and special color issues were printed on Sundays.

Iwerks quickly grew tired of having to draw daily comic strips, and the task temporarily fell to a newly hired animator named Floyd Gottfredson. Soon, Disney stopped sending new scripts, and this responsibility also went to Gottfredson. The "temp" job turned into a full-time job, and Gottfredson drew daily Mickey Mouse stories for four and a half decades until his retirement in 1975.

The movie and comic Mickeys soon began to differ from each other. If the studio's animators used Mickey mainly in comedy sketches, then on the pages of comic books Mickey often became the hero of adventure stories in the spirit of stories about Tintin and Buck Rogers.

In the fifties, Mickey began to appear in comics magazines side by side with Donald, Scrooge McDuck and other studio characters. Disney comics gained enormous popularity in Italy, where Mickey was known as Topolino and became the main character of the comic magazine of the same name. In some stories, Mickey appeared in the role of a detective and unraveled complex detective cases that were too tough for the local police and Mickey's good friend Chief O'Hara. In Russia, these stories were published in the mid-nineties in the Mickey Detective comic book series.

How to decorate a room?

To decorate an apartment, house, or room, you can use ready-made thematic sets for a given costume party - these are disposable dishes, a tablecloth, napkins, cutlery, and various accessories in this style. Balloons, inflatable toys, posters, pictures, streamers, flags, banners, etc. are suitable for decorating the premises. The main thing is to convey the atmosphere of a Disney cartoon. The table setting should also correspond to the theme of the event. These can be simple everyday dishes, but colorfully decorated, for example, fruit cocktails with straws decorated with little mouse faces, cookies in the shape of ears, mashed potatoes (muzzle) and cutlets (ears) correctly placed on a plate, and even decorated with olives (eyes), tomatoes (nose), greens (antennae), carrot pieces (mouth). And, of course, the highlight of the program is a Mickey Mouse style cake with candles. Don't forget about the photo zone. Many will want to take memorable photos with the birthday boy and their favorite characters. Everything is ready for the holiday!
