The Walt Disney Co. on Thursday said it took “appropriate action” against employees at its Paris theme park who were caught simulating sex while dressed as Disney characters in a digital video that has received wide attention on the Internet.
Disney would not say whether it had dismissed any of the costumed employees featured in the grainy video, which appears to have been shot with a hidden camera at a backstage dressing room at Disneyland Resort Paris.
“The behavior shown on the video is unacceptable and inexcusable,” Disney said in a statement.
The video shows Minnie Mouse struggling to free herself as she is grabbed from behind by Goofy and then a giant snowman.
Later, Mickey Mouse simulates sex with the snowman and Goofy does the same with either Chip or Dale, the chipmunks, as laughter is heard on the tape.

I thought it was supposed to be extremely difficult to fire an employee in France.

Disney is a ruthless corporation no matter where it is.
Lighten up Disney!
The duckjob wave file would be the ideal soundtrack to this video 🙂
The video was actually amusing and only works because of the French being spoken. If it were English speaking it would be smutty. The French can get away with any sex as long as they are speaking that wonderful sexual language.
I heard, though it might be an urban myth, that a kid at a Disney park wandered in through a door that turned out to be the break room for the Disney characters. The kid saw “Mickey” with his head off carried on the side of his body while a strange human head inside the Mickey Mouse suit was smoking on a cigarette. The kid went into shock. The grandmother sued Walt Disney.
geez, I knew that mickey’s always been f*ckin’ goofy… I didn’t need to SEE IT!!
Ever wondered that Disney’s characters (at least the classics) are sexless sterile beasts?. There’s no sons, nor daughters, they are all nephews and nieces. There’s no married couples, even though there are plenty of boyfriend couples… Mickey/Minnie, Donald/Daisy, although Goofy, a dog, got hooked with a cow… Weird.
And to think that generations of children have grown with these behavioral models…
Obviously two of these characters were Chip and Dale strippers.
#3: Disney said it took “appropriate action” and “would not say whether it had dismissed any of the costumed employees”.
Thank God for great labour laws! “Appropriate action” would mean that they got an “official warning” that went on their HR record. If they ever do this again, they’ll be fired…
Probably the company handbook will be changed and include something like “simulating rumpy-pumpy behind the scenes and video-taping it” will be a major offence, resulting in dismissal as from date xx/yy/zzzz.
It’s not extremely difficult to fire someone in France; the labour laws are there to protect employees from unfair treatment. IMHO, dismissal would be unfair in this case as it was behind the scenes and done for a laugh.
#7: The video is actually amusing and would still be amusing if the persons in there spoke English…
Just giving a non-puritanical perspective to this (minor) issue.

Donald was trying to fall asleep, but next door there was a hell of a racket going on. All the sudden he gets up and goes banging on his neighbours door… Goofy opens the door and Donald asks:
– Goofy, are you fucking crazy!!!???
– No… I’m fucking Daisy.
Q: Why did Mickey Mouse divorce Minney Mouse?
A: Because she was fucking Goofy.
I don’t know why the Disney execs are upset about this incident. Three years ago I took my family (wife and 3 kids) to Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida. (I might add that it was an expensive trip 2 years in the making. You know: airfare, hotel, rental car, etc.) We had no idea that the day we chose to go was “gayday”. There we were in Disneyworld surrounded by all kinds of perverts and debauchery, They were kissing, feeling each other up and doing other things too sickening to mention here. In front of my kids! We even saw one of these weirdos goose Mickey Mouse. I caught one of these pedophiles trying to talk to my 12 year old son. Under normal circumstances I would have stomped a mudhole in his ass and walked it dry(something his father forgot to do when he was growing up). But knowing how our society is today, I would have been the one arrested. After about 45 minutes of watching this crap, we went to the gate and asked to see someone in management. I wanted either a refund or tickets for another day, since we were spending a week in Orlando. I was rudely turned down flat.
Again, I say why are the Disney execs upset? It happened in France, a loser country. In a few years the North African invasion will be complete and France will be under new management. Sharia law will be in place and EuroDisney will be burned to the ground. It will serve that Eurotrash right.
