Disney Launches A New Line Of Face Masks That Will Make The Pandemic Thing Look Less Frightening For The Little Ones
The Centers for Disease Control And Prevention has advised people to wear cloth face masks to slow the spread of coronavirus. And while it’s a literal must-have for the spring, it doesn’t make it a fun and lovely accessory. Truth be told, wearing an unsightly piece of cloth on your face for hours at time gives little inspiration to adults, not to mention kids.
Luckily, Disney has come up with a much more appealing solution. The company has just launched a cool line of reusable cloth face masks that feature fan-favorite Disney cartoons. From Baby Yoda and the Avengers to Winnie The Pooh and Mickie Mouse, the masks are aimed at kids and kids at heart who finally have a chance to let out their inner character. Most importantly, Disney pledged to donate all the profits to the non-profit Medshare, which specializes in redistributing medical supplies to hospitals in need.
So let’s take a look at some of the coolest Disney masks below that will bring a spark back to coronawear.

The face masks are available for $19.99 for a four-pack. You can pre-order them in small, medium, and large sizes for estimated shipping in June. The entertainment company said it will donate 1 million face masks to kids and families in underserved communities and organizations working to limit the spread of COVID-19. According to Disney’s statement, the company has already made a donation of more than 100K N95 masks to the states of New York, California, Florida, and Washington, DC.
Edward Park, Senior Vice President of Disney store and shopDisney, said in a statement that “Our hope is that Disney’s cloth face masks featuring some of our most beloved characters will provide comfort to the families, fans and communities that are so important to us.” He also addressed the fact that “wearing any type of mask can be daunting,” but it’s the only way to stop the spread of the virus.
Recent studies have shown that a huge amount of individuals with coronavirus lack symptoms, and those who eventually develop them can transmit the virus to others before the symptoms show up. According to the CDC, “this means that the virus can spread between people interacting in close proximity—for example, speaking, coughing, or sneezing—even if those people are not exhibiting symptoms.” In light of the new evidence, the CDC recommends wearing the cloth masks in public.
i know someone who would love to buy hundreds of these and customize them for people
I get everyone picking on Disney for capitalizing on a bad situation. But they're trying to find a way to pay their employees and still provide them healthcare despite closures of all the Disney Parks. Those employees are all really wonderful people who don't deserve to be punished. So if Disney can make masks that help keep some employees paid and keep others safe from Coronavirus I say go for it. If you don't like them then just don't buy them.
I agree. I came here to complain but after reading how many masks Disney has already contributed and how much they are donating to underserved communities, I'm okay with it.
Load More Replies...if u read it's supposed to be for KIDS(little ones)
Load More Replies...Please purchase masks from small businesses! Masks have become my mom's only source of income. This is a time to help your neighbor, not a big corporation
Disney, the company that always finds a way to make a dollar even in a global pandemic. Smh.
it's a bit like in world war 2. they put mickey mouse ears on gas masks for children to make is less frightening.
It really just looks like they took Disney bibs and connected the ties to the lower part of the bib rather than tying in the back of neck.
It's reassuring to know that no matter how crazy the world gets, Disney will always find a way to get your money.
Really? That's the best Disney could come up with? I prefer the JOCKSTRAP Face Mask (YouTube by Emerson Collins).
I am in no way surprised that Di$ney is trying to profit off the pandemic, and finds another product to slap their trademark on.
I want B&B Gaston and Beast, mermaid's Ursula, and not Disney but, a Yellow Submarine set and a KISS band set
Capitalizing on a tragedy, how American! Also... does anyone remember seeing pics of those Mickey Mouse gas masks. Hmm.
