The New KATSEYE x Disney Merch Partnership is Magical


If you’re a fan of both KATSEYE and Disney, this new merch drop was made for you.

KATSEYE is teaming up with Disney for a new merch collection starring Mickey and Minnie Mouse ahead of the group’s Hulu documentary, KATSEYE: Wild Hearts.

This limited-edition collection drops on October 15th at noon Eastern Time on Complex.com, with items priced from $40 to $100. The collection features graphic tees, hoodies, tank tops, tote bags, and enamel pins.

KATSEYE’s Disney connection includes a performance of “I Won’t Say (I’m In Love)” from Hercules at the Disney Legends Awards Ceremony, honoring Megara’s voice actress, Susan Egan. The group also released the Lara Raj-penned “Unloveu” just yesterday.

I’m torn on this collab. The merch is cute, and as someone who loves both KATSEYE and Mickey and Minnie, I want to be excited. But where’s the KATSEYE in it beyond the name? No photos of the members, no nods to their songs, and nothing tying it to the documentary. Putting “KATSEYE” next to Mickey and Minnie doesn’t give me much to connect with as a fan. I like the design, but I wish the collaboration felt more thoughtful.

Some fans are going to love this, and I’m happy for them. It might appeal more to KATSEYE’s younger audience, which could explain why it doesn’t quite hit for me. But imagine Mickey and Minnie doing the dances or eating foods from “Gnarly.” Even a small song reference would’ve made the collab feel more connected to the group than simply adding “KATSEYE” to the design.

The merch might not be for everyone, but there’s no denying this is a big week for KATSEYE fans. With the Disney collaboration, “Unloveu,” and KATSEYE: Wild Hearts coming to Hulu on October 16, we’re getting plenty to keep us busy. I’m here for all of it.

Worst Christmas Ever! is a solid example of Sufjan Stevens’s Christmas music. He’s able to take existing pieces and give them interesting, dynamic spins while still keeping the charm, nostalgia, and message of the original works. His own original songs are also very good, especially “Sister Winter.” I like the structure that is rarely deviated from: Christmas classic, Sufjan original, etc.
