Disney has just posted images of the new costumes they are giving the Voices of Liberty just in time for the EPCOT Festival of the Arts and frankly they kind of suck but they are way better than the business casual outfits they’ve been wearing.

I get what they are going for, but I’m not sold.
The Voices of Liberty had worn period costumes for years, it was part of the charm. Then they started wearing these awful “business casual” type outfits. Now they are making pants suits made to mimic the lines of the period costumes, or something stupid like that. I think the exact wording was “a streamlined, architectural energy.”
That being said, these are better than what’s been happening with their costumes lately.
These costumes are not for a limited time. Disney made sure to clarify that these will be worn year-round,
“This new look for the beloved a cappella group will be featured year-round–except during the holidays, of course–and the costumes are the product of talent, time and careful design.”
I’m sure people worked hard on these. I can see them used for stage shows or events outside the American Adventure Pavilion and Rotunda,but these ensembles in place of the period costumes? No.
Again, it’s still better than the terrible recent outfits. They must have had a lot of complaints and tried to compromise.
Now, at least, they have elements of the period in them.
Social Media has some thoughts as well:
Meh. It’s like you’re trying too hard. Bring back the original, time period appropriate costumes. These are just a swing and a miss.

I still have childlike hope for Disney. I hope the brand stops destroying itself soon, I would love to visit the park again!

As long as they actually go back to wearing costumes. The office attire they’re made to wear now doesn’t have anything like the magic of the original costumes.

I’m happy to see a more colonial America inspired costume come back. The business casual look just wasn’t doing it for me.

I like these – and they make more sense than the airline uniforms

Recycled from Wicked?

We only get period costumes at Christmastime now. I guess it’s better than costumes with Disney IP all over them.
