Yzma From Upcoming Oogie Boogie Bash Has Been Revealed
Disney has teased Yzma from their upcoming Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween event in Disneyland, and the actress portraying the character could be Yzma if she were much younger.
I’m not sold on this one.
Yzma is appearing at the popular after-hours, special-ticketed event at Disneyland starting on August 18.
Now, an image posted by Scott Gustin on X has people wondering why they went with a younger actor.
This version seems to be Yzma from 50 years prior to her appearance in The Emperor’s New Groove.
Make-up can only do so much.
Here are some of the comments:
“Idk what I was expecting but sometimes cartoon characters should stay cartoons” - Traveling Salesman
“I feel like they missed an opportunity. It should be her and Kronk.” -Kelley Marie
I agree. I think Kronk would make this so much better!
“I like Yzma because she's an underrated villain, but why does she kind of look alien-ish here? Is it the lighting and/or angle?” - Rena
It really does seem off.
“Feel like this is going to be like a Jack skeleton costume where it starts out with a cast member is makeup and little prosthetic but then just becomes a cast member in a suit”- Scott Geairn
I think Scott is right. This is a character who needs a costume character suit to pull off right?
“I hoped that they cast older actresses to play her because it does give opportunities for them” - Papo
“Awesome, I love Yzma, but I will say I’m conflicted while I love the idea of talking to her I also wish it was her costume character look.” - The Blue Rose Studio
I love that they are bringing Yzma to the event. There is never enough Yzma or Kronk. However, this look just isn’t it.
Maybe it will be better from a different angle?
What do you think? Is this a win or should they cave and use a full costume?
