If you're planing on heading to New York City to see the windows, be aware that all you'll see is the video. This is not a traditional Christmas display in the city with animated mannequins, or in Disney's case Audio-Animatronics. If you happen to be at 60th and Madison go ahead, but I would not go out of your way just to look a the windows.

The video centers around a dream Minnie has of becoming a model and walking down the runway. Minnie dreams of being in Paris and meets some of the highly regarded fashion personalities in the world before strutting down the runway with Mickey, Daisy Duck and Goofy. In the end, Minnie wakes up with Mickey giving her the same designer dress she just dreamed about.

There has been some flak from people criticizing the look of Minnie as a model - thin and expressionless - while going down the catwalk. But this is a fantasy and could also be viewed as the fashion industry taking a little jab at itself.

All of the Disney characters are dressed in a one-of-a-kind exclusive look created by some of the most influential fashion designers, including:
