Mickey’s Circus Commemorative Hat Box
Red K Products presents: Disney Store Originals "Mickey’s Circus" Commemorative Hat Box - A Spectacular Tribute to the Golden Era of Animation! Step right up and experience the magic of the Big Top with this exceptional 13-inch collector's storage box. Inspired by the legendary 1936 Walt Disney animated short "Mickey’s Circus," this piece is more than just storage—it is a comprehensive panoramic artwork that brings the history of the Disney Studios into your home. Housed in a durable, high-gauge fiberboard frame, this "hat box" style vessel features a 360-degree lithographic wrap that captures the energy, color, and comedy of the greatest show on earth.
The box features all your favorite Disney icons in their rarest circus roles: from Ringmaster Mickey welcoming the crowd to Minnie Mouse performing her daring high-wire unicycle act. The side panels are adorned with "vintage" circus posters, including the legendary "Stupendo the Trained Lion" and a charming parade featuring Donald Duck, Pluto, and a faithful rendition of the circus elephant. The attention to detail extends to the interior, which is lined with a classic "Admit One" ticket motif, making every use of this box a journey into the past. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Disney Store history that celebrates the artistic milestones of Ben Sharpsteen and Milt Kahl.
