Woo-hoo! Disney World was super fun, interesting and, surprisingly, educational. Of course, as was required, I made a connection between Disney World and dentistry. One thing I noticed was the teeth of the various Disney characters I saw around the park. Take Goofy for example, he is a dog who is, as his name describes, goofy. He isn't a villain, and isn’t a bad character; in fact, he’s a very innocent, naŃ—ve dog. Maybe they gave him the gapped buck-tooth teeth to seem funnier. It seems Disney gave him big teeth to make up for the fact that Mickey and Minnie Mouse, both mice that are supposed to have enlarged front teeth, have no teeth at all. I think commercialism, especially that of the wonderful world of Disney, uses the aspect of teeth to further push the image that they want people to see. Thursday, April 15, 2010

Somewhere out there somebody has written a thesis analyzing the dental structures of the various Disney characters. Indeed, teeth determine first impressions. Alas, Goofy with his clumsy mouth and gap teeth hardly evokes a cerebral persona.
This is not something I would think of if I went to Disney but after I read your blog it makes a lot more sense.
