Baby Clothes By Disney
by: Kir sten Ha wkins
Disney and children go together like milk and crackers. Its just a given
that in almost any American household where children reside there is something
in the home that was made by, produced by, licensed by, or endorsed by Disney.

Because of this natural affinity that Disney and kids seem to
have, the Disney Corporation has been making clothing for children for nearly as
long as they've been in business. This form of licensing and merchandising took
off to new levels when George Lucas proved that there was money in movie
licensing tie-ins with Star Wars in 1977. Today when a Disney movie is released
there are kids' and babies' clothing items bearing the likenesses of the main
characters faster than a parent can say Bambi. While some Disney titles are hit
or miss these days (compare the numbers for Home on the Range with those for
Finding Nemo) there are titles that seemed to strike a chord with kids and
parents alike and the company still sells massive amounts of children's,
toddlers', and babies' clothing related to those films.
The Little Mermaid
Even sixteen years after its release, kids and parents still love The Little
Mermaid. Every little girl wants to be Arial (the titular mermaid) and their
mothers don't mind helping them. Disney still sells t-shirts, swimsuits, and
various other clothing items for babies and children with the film's motifs in
droves.

Finding Nemo
One of Disney's most popular recent releases, Finding Nemo offers massive
amounts of babies' clothing designs. Like Mermaid, the film's aquatic theme
lends itself especially well to swimwear and summer wear for boys and girls
alike. In fact, the first item listed when you enter the "infants" page on
Disney Direct, the company's web store, is a Finding Nemo one-piece swimsuit for
girls.

Classic Characters
The more things change, the more they stay the same someone once said and he may
have been on to something. Of all the Disney themed apparel for babies and
toddlers, no items are more popular with the kids or their parents than those
that bear the images of Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and the
lovable dog Pluto. These are baby clothing items that are unlikely to ever
disappear and which are so popular that a child throwing a foam brick in the
daycare center is likely to hit at least one kid with Mickey stenciled or
printed somewhere on his or her clothing. Suffice to say that when you're
choosing casual clothing for your little Mickey or Minnie Mouse, you can't go
wrong with designs by Disney.
