For the finale, the Disney characters will step out in all-new costumes inspired by Minnie. They will also dance along to a new theme song.
There will be a mini parade titled “Very Minnie Remix” packed full of Minnie references. The parade will make a stop in 6 areas around the park, with the characters and cast dressed in new costumes, inviting guests into the world of Minnie Mouse. Depending on the day you see the parade and what location from, you can expect to see something different every time, meaning you can enjoy the parade multiple times.

While ‘animals’ are one of Disney’s forever-themes, ‘dogs and cats’ are special amongst them for being like family to us humans. The upcoming ‘Disney Cats & Dogs Exhibition,’ held at Event Square on the 8th floor of Matsuya Ginza between December 1 and December 25, explores the charms of Disney’s beloved pets.
Mickey & Friends Pluto
Lady and the Tramp
101 Dalmatians
Aristocats
The movie ‘Bambi’ was an opportunity for Disney to challenge the tough task of “animals expressing themselves, while maintaining a realistic drawing style.” The crew invited animals into the studio, studying their anatomy and muscles to ensure a sense of realism. The characters were successfully drawn in an expressive way which captivated audiences, leading Disney to produce a large number of animal animations throughout its history. The exhibition will introduce visitors to the evolution and innovation of Disney’s animal animation, along with the trial and error that it took to successfully draw animals expressing their feelings. The event is full of iconic Disney animals such as Pluto, the 101 Dalmations, Lady and the Tramp, and The Aristocats – It’s almost as if you’ve fallen straight into a Disney movie!
The exhibition will showcase a wide collection of over 300 digital and archived works, provided by the Animation Research Library, which hosts, digitizes, and archives everything related to Disney animation. Pieces that could be damaged if removed from storage, such as original watercolor paintings and pastel illustrations, are digitized and exhibited for the world to enjoy in a scale much larger than the original, allowing guests to see the details in each piece of art. This unique digital aspect is one of the highlights of the exhibition.
You won’t want to miss out on this exhibition which features some of the most impressive dogs and cats in all of Disney works; You can laugh at Mickey’s friend Pluto as he features in some of Disney’s earliest gag animations, marvel at the romance of Lady and the Tramp, be thrilled by the dramatic escape from Cruella’s magical hands in 101 Dalmations, and even take in both the beauty of Paris and the cuteness of kitten Marie from the Aristocats.
Walt Disney himself was known for being a huge dog lover, spending his childhood with his family and their dog. This ‘Cats and Dogs’ themed exhibition will showcase characters with expressions and gestures that reflect Disney’s affection and familiarity with the animals.
Why not go walkies around the ‘Disney Cats & Dogs’ exhibition?

The gift shop offers not just Omiyage (souvenirs) but Oh!Miyage, filled with original products and traditional crafts made by trustworthy creators from across Japan. The gift shop provides an experience packed with the fun of choosing, buying, gifting, and using your purchases while offering awareness of both yourself and the makers.
A ‘Harvest’ Experience Full Of Disney
The Harvest store is decorated with wood and greenery, built using both new and recycled goods made from waste materials.
The menu represents the four seasons of Japan by combining Japanese culture and natural motifs with designs inspired by Mickey and Friends.
The back of the store is taken up by a huge white Mickey Mouse statue, standing 1.7m tall. The statues outfit and display changes based on the season, welcoming guests as a symbol of the store. Limited merchandise based on the statue’s hand towel and muffled designs are scheduled to be released in the future.
BGM
The store background music is full of timeless and beloved tunes, perfect for relaxing in a cafe. Songs have been selected from Disneyland Records and Burns Vista Records, both popular since the 1950’s, including legendary Disney tunes from the Sherman Brothers and Annette.
You can also hear rare tracks sung by Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and other disney characters within the playlist.
Make sure to enjoy this Disney-colored ‘Health-ertainment’ experience for yourself!

High-casual brand MOUSSY is collaborating with Disney to release the “Disney SERIES CREATED by MOUSSY” Fall 2021 collection. Items from the new collab will be available on August 18 at the SHEL’TTER Web Store and the MOUSSY Flagship Shop. Also, two “Disney SERIES CREATED by MOUSSY” Pop Up shops are now open!
This particular line has been developed by MOUSSY since April 2018. Chosen to model the 2021 Autumn Collection were Hina and Taki from the popular four-member girl group FAKY. The styles displayed in the lookbook cover a wide variety of genres, from the adventurous “JUNGLE SAFARI” series to the elegant “ORIENTAL” series, giving some Chinese flair. The “PALS” series focuses on the importance of friendship, and those with a love of nostalgia will love the “VINTAGE POSTER” looks, reminiscent of famous works.
It’s possible that certain items may stick around if popular enough, so be sure to grab any pieces you love!
