Barneys ‘Skinny Minnie’ makeover sparks outrage

TORONTO – Thousands are expressing their outrage by signing an online petition after a high-end department store decided it would slim down Disney characters in a new holiday campaign.

In August, Barneys announced their “Electric Holiday” campaign will feature much-beloved children’s characters, including Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck and Goofy in a 3D holiday movie.

The characters, however, would be drastically slimmed down. Minnie Mouse, for example, is seen at 5’11’’ and size zero, wearing a pink Lanvin designer dress.
