Celebrate Your Unbirthday With This Joey Chou Cheshire Cat Figure
Just the other day, I was re-watching Disney’s animated version of Alice in Wonderland with my wife, and I was struck by two things.
The first, was the amazing array of fun, and whimsical characters that Disney created. Between The Mad Hatter, March Hair, White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat, Dodo, Caterpillar, and a plethora of lesser characters, I was continuously entertained and enthralled by the unique characters designed for the film.
The other that struck my about Alice in Wonderland, was how many Disney Legends worked on the film.
The credits for Alice are like a who’s who of both Disney animation and Imagineering. Ken Anderson, Mary Blair, Claude Coates, Marc Davis, Ollie Johnston, Bill Justice, Milt Kahl, Ward Kimball, Hal King, Eric Larson, Floyd Norman, Blaine Gibson, and UB Iwerks are just some of the talented people to lend their talents to the movie.
It is no wonder that the film is considered a Disney classic!
Well, fresh off my re-watching the film, a new Joey Chou figure has arrived at Disney World. What luck! Let’s take a closer look.
Joey Chou Cheshire Cat Figure
This Joey Chou Cheshire Cat figure is based on one of my favorite characters from Alice in Wonderland.
While many of the other inhabitants of Wonderland provide no help to Alice, the Cheshire Cat is different. Although mischievous, he becomes something of a guide to Alice.
With his bright smile and propensity to disappear, the Cheshire Cat has remained one of the film’s most popular characters.
For this figure, the purple cat can be found perched atop a teacup.
If you have seen the film, or are familiar with the Mad Tea Party attraction at Walt Disney World, then you know how important a spot of tea is to the residents of Wonderland.
I also like how Joey Chou puts his own spin on the character, while still keeping the Cheshire Cat recognizable to fans of the animated classic.
