There's a part in The Great Movie Ride that is about Alien... *I wonder how Duffy would handle that?*

Its interesting how different characters appeal to different cultures. I would say most people don't know who Duffy is in the US, but he launched a whole line of merch in Japan. This isn't the first instance I've heard of something like this happening. Its very interesting.

I was today years old when I saw the Mickey pattern in Duffy's face. And then I saw them in all the character's faces. I can't unsee them

11:20 Here is where Dan explodes into laughter over a child understanding that both he and his adoptive father are lonely and are seeking company.

one of the most distinct memories I have being a kid at Disney is being in a camper at the fort wilderness campgrounds and seeing a Duffy the bear ad play on loop because my parents weren't particularly bothered in changing the channel. It was this sort of documentary that went through a quick little history of Duffy,

When I was little it was the first or second time I went to Disney I got Duffy, I loved him so much but HATED dressing him up (costumes were not soft enough for me). This was in 2013 I think and I was 6. 3 years later I got Shellimay. Anyways we went to Aulani in 2019 and I saw all the other Duffy friends and the Last day of the trip I got the stuffed animals of Olu, Gelatoni, and Stella Lou. My brother looked at me like I was crazy but I loved them. Couple weeks later Cookie came out in Hawaii and I was sad. I got a personal shopper in Hong Kong to get me a Cookie Ann plush and send it here. It took months but was so happy to finally have her. I still have the same Duffy and he is a little flatter than everyone else but he and cookie are my favorite.

A costume Evolution for Duffy and friends would be amazing

I got one when I was younger before he was “Duffy,” when the racks of Once Upon a Toy were indeed stuffed full of them. I named him Rugby. I was so mad when he got the name Duffy. He’s always been Rugby to me. I still have mine and boy is it WORN out.

Hey, United States person here! I actually remember when they pushed Duffy hardcore over at Disney World. Even after they stopped having him though, the televisions on Disney property had a channel that would play Duffy's origin story at certain hours for bedtime. Because I have a little brother, we'd watch Duffy's story every night that we weren't out for fireworks. They had it up until my last trip in 2019, and I'm sad it's fine. Knowing that Duffy has friends now, I want them! Gelatoni is basically my spirit animal! Thanks for covering this.

You should do a video on Pal Mickey. To my knowledge, there is no youtube video discussing the history of this obscure item. It was a plush of Mickey Mouse that you would take around the park with you, and the plush had a speaker in it so that Mickey could say specific things depending onnwhich park you were at/ride you were on. They sold them for some ridiculously high price, and even aloud you to rent them from your resort for a day. I wanted one so bad, but my mom wouldnt spend the absurd chunk of change they asked for it. She did let me rent one for a day and it....barely worked. Lol. They didnt last super long. But yea, would love to see a video on this somewhat obscure piece of disney park history

Okay I don’t want to overstate this...but this is the BEST disney parks related video ever made. I have been a fan of Duffy since moment one. Since he was the Disney Bear. I have that first book. I have a turquoise Disney Bear. I loved the sailor narrative. I have a group of disney friends who had little girls who lived for Duffy. They dressed him in custom made princess dresses. 😂 it was brilliant!! I never missed a meet and greet opportunity with Duffy when i was in Epcot. I glimpsed a couple from Japan one day with those incredible backpacks COVERED in what i now know to be Duffy and Shellie May “badges” with that kind of total dedication you don’t find in US parks. I was fascinated and i *might have* stalked them a little bit just to behold the Duffy greatness explosion. They made their way into one of the Duffy dedicated spaces and WIGGED OUT over the Duffy display. They left with two bags STUFFED with Duffy clothing and merchandise and they were asking about Shellie May. The CM had no idea who they were referring to. It was kind of sad. (Note-i was not stalking them really. We just happened to be in the same space...i swear! *ahem*). The disney parks missed such an opportunity with Shellie May. It took her FOREVER to come to the disney parks. I think she would have been wildly popular had they given her any consideration. As I had been a fan from the get go I was well aware of her. I also had a very good friend from college (and fellow Disney fanatic) who was working in Japan who gave me all the Duffy inside info. She sent me a Shellie May all the way from Tokyo! Shellie May arrived in all her adorable glory wearing a pair of ruffled underpants and a burlap skirt...but no shirt...very Donald Duck in reverse. But she was beautiful and I loved her immediately. When Shellie May finally did arrive at disney world it was with very little fanfare. She was quite small in comparison to my Tokyo DisneySEA Shellie May. She was an odd sort of muted raspberry-ish color and she was nekkid. Just fur. She did have a sad little bow. But that’s it. There was no joy. It wasn’t too long after that Duffy began disappearing. His meet and greet in Epcot was removed. And my heart was broken. I kept up my spirits through the pictures my Japan connection would send from her trips to DisneySEA. Which is how I met Gelatoni. And StellaLou. Then something incredible happened. My amazing friend traveled to Hong Kong one weekend for work. Of course she visited Hong Kong Disney while she was there!! It was then that I was introduced to Cookie. I could not get over the cuteness. I was absolutely smitten with her big green eyes and sweet face and she BAKES. That’s my jam!!! Said amazing friend sent me a Cookie of my very own (and a backpack dangle of sweet Cookie). I could NOT get over her precious adorable squishiness. Her little puffy bakers hat. Those green eyes. Just next level. In love. Okay...longest comment ever. I will end with a little tidbit of information. Which I’m sure you know...Cookie’s name was changed I believe in 2019...to Cookie Ann. Due to the fact that Shellie May and Stella Lou have middle names and they felt Cookie needed more flow. (I blame this on the fact that Cookie is now available in Tokyo DisneySEA as part of the crew and Cookie just sounded kind of...flat. Everyone loves a middle name...) OH and I also love me some Olu. Ordered him the second he hit Shop Disney. (I wanted to go directly to Hawaii to adopt him but my husband did not feel that a trip to Hawaii was warranted simply bc of Olu...which I find to be a seriously lacking argument. 🤷🏻‍♀️) Thank you for highlighting sweet Duffy. I will travel to DisneySEA one day when the world rights itself and i will revel in the Glory that is Duffy and Friends. (I also have Tiippy the Seagull...a lesser known friend of Duffy...but not in the gang really. He’s a mail carrier so he’s busy...). Best. Video. Ever. ❤️ thank you.

I remember when Duffy came out and I was young and didnt know anything and I was just like "wtf why is there a bear there can i meet it mom and dad"

Me who’s from America but Japanese and has like 5 Duffy Bears: H U H.

Before I wandered the world blind, but now I am a Duffy and friends fan. Please give us more videos. Park appearances, shows, lore, or even videos of each character and costumes separately. I'm gelatoni curious lol I don't want that to come out weird but there's no avoiding it

i will never forget the time i tried to meet Duffy when i was a small child at epcot, my mother and i stood in line FOREVER, we were the last people in line but the cast member said he had to go. my mom was PISSED cause we waisted so much time. then when i got a little older and learned that duffy wouldn't come back i was sad, i still and will probably always be a little disappointed cause now i have to travel across country to see him, and that's IF i get lucky enough to score a spot in line for him

Me at the beginning of the video: Kind of a generic design and origin story... Me at the end: I LOVE THEM ALL.

I visited Tokyo Disneyland in 2018. Yes, the place is Duffy-crazy.

Begging you to continue covering them! The way you talk about them made me laugh very hard, I loved it!

I really need that costume history now... for ALL OF THEM! It's so fascinating. I totally understand the hype about Duffy and his friends, and as someone who truly likes the idea of all objects being able to get a soul if given enough love, I see the appeal.

Japan is the country that gave the world Hello Kitty and her gang of marketable cutesy animal friends. I have no level of surprise that a bunch of hyper-adorable plush type animals would be a hit over there. He's cute, but if I were to go to a theme park with Disney characters, I'm all about Goofy and Donald.

Between Pooh and Lotso, we have Duffy. Glad to see you finally making a video about the adorable teddy bear that has since become famous worldwide. Also, I would love to see you do a costume video of Duffy and Friends at the parks.

Oh, dear god. He made a video on Duffy, this is the happiest day of my life now, dude. I remember collecting every Duffy plush ever since they remastered him in epcot, ever since I was 2-3 years old. My first Duffy was a gift from my grandparents, and I freaking loved it. I still have all of the ones I collected to this day. And hell, Duffy in a way, made me the person I am. My YT channel's name is inspired off of Duffy. Hell, even my old roblox account was named after it. It's weird to think that a stuffed bear would leave an impact in my life so much.

5:48 "She filled the bear with happy memories and love." Minnie works at Build-A-Bear? Is there *anywhere* Disney *doesn't* own?!

I love Duffy, sadly as an American it's super hard to buy Duffy merch without it being super expensive. (Well maybe except the bears and outfits.) Thankfully I am big into pin trading and I always buy pins in bulk before going to the Parks. It was through that (and Duffy not being very popular with Americans) I was able to score. Through bulk buying and pin trading I have gotten multiple Duffy pins, a couple of Shelly Mae pins and even a Stella Lou and Gelatoni pin. So while my sister collects Chip and Dale I collect Duffy and I look forward to adding to my collection when I go back in a couple of weeks.

There is another Duffy friend named TippyBlue the Seagull. He doesn't get a lot of attention because there aren't very many toys of him, and there aren't any outfits you can dress him up in. But he does appear in the Duffy show at Tokyo DisneySea.

Makes me want to see the evolution of Hello Kitty. Or the evolution of cute things in Japan in general. Maybe , for you, list of things exclusive to certain Disney related locations.

I’d love to see an evolution of Duffy and his friends!!! This video was super fun and cute!

They tried to introduce him in Disneyland Paris by retheming the Storybook Store down Main Street U.S.A to only sell Duffy Merch, but due to a lack of interest this eventually phased out and is now a generic store once again. He is still seen in many of the seasonal parades, but no longer has a permanent meet and greet. We met him once a few years back since we felt sorry for him as he had no queue and looked sad haha! Him and Shellie May often have meet and greets at special Annual Pass events though as there is still a small dedicated fandom! :)

The first time I saw Duffy was when I went to the parks after being away for a couple years, and I just walk into a gift store and it's showing "Mickey's Best Friend Duffy!" and it has all the costumes and an animated ad and acting like he was always there and I swore I was losing my mind

I went to Tokyo DisneySea almost three years ago and this whole Duffy thing is absolutely WILD. Is this the fourth time I've watched this video? Well, yeah. Love ya, Dan. Please go to Tokyo soon!

Not going to lie, I didn't really want one until you hit me with Gelatoni

I met Duffy and he was so cute at Tokyo Disney Sea! It was on a day his merch dropped for the 2019 Christmas Season so I could get close to Peg's.

I did of bit of research on these characters recently and now I think I’m obsessed too. Linabell and Gelatoni are my favorites!

When Linabell the fox released in 2021, she sold out so fast they couldn't keep the shelves stock, and she is still very popular due to this

Good luck finding an affordable Duffy on eBay! I did try to check it out, the plushies are what, $50+?

I’ve haven’t seen or heard about Duffy in years and seeing this video now makes me so happy! Now I want Duffy and all his friends in my plushie collection!

Aw, Duffy! I remember that little story that played on the Disney hotel TVs at night. Who knew there was such deep lore? Thanks Dan!

i have three duffies, one of which is the shelly may :) they all have their own cute lil outfits. I met him too!! So cute

Disney Bear even did meet & greets at the Once Upon A Toy store. I just happened to stumble upon it one day and thought, "Cute bear" and got a photo with him. I kept meaning to get a bear and never did, then they all vanished from the shelves. Then I saw on message boards about Duffy in Tokyo and I was like, "Hey that's that bear I saw at Once Upon A Toy!" I was so happy when they brought Duffy back to America but man they handled his marketing all wrong here. But I still have my Duffy I bought 10 years ago . He's still my favorite traveling companion and I'll still take him to the parks with me. I have all of his friends too. Just last month, I was at Disney Springs and I had my tiny 9" Santa Duffy with me sticking out of my bag, and I got stopped SO many times by guests asking where I got him.

I wholeheartedly agree. I believe Disney needs to give Duffy a real chance with the RIGHT marketing.

This is great! I'm so glad you decided to talk about Duffy after the last video.

I got my first Duffy doll in 2014 in Mousegear (it was one of those year-themed dolls). My dad always says that's where my obsession started because now I also have a regular Duffy, a safari Duffy, Shellie May, Olu Mel, a Tsum Tsum Duffy, and a Stella Lou key chain. Someday I will have a Gelatoni, since he is for sure my favorite of the bunch. I really appreciated this video! Great job!

If you are leading the group tour to Tokyo DisneySea, I’ll be on it! I love Duffy and Friends and am so sad he left EPCOT. He gave the best hugs. Also, I have at least 6 Duffy bears in my collection - it was their yearly dated merch for a while at WDW. I’ll have to send you pics tonight.

i remember going to Disney World in 2015 (my second time ever going) and saw all the Duffy merchandise in Epcot and I was so confused 😂 because usually merchandise is for characters that appear in movies/shows but for once I saw a disney character that I had never seen before in media and was soo intrigued ! I even did the Duffy epcot stamp scavenger hunt thing 🙌🏻

Yes! love how the candles match the shirt! Thank you for all of this!

oh my god your commentary is so joyful and wholesome! immediately subscribing

Honestly, I'd die for Olu.

Yes please give us more Duffy content

It’s only been 5 minutes since I’ve been introduced to this teddy bear,But I’m subscribing for more of this cuddly bears universe

Oh my god I had a Duffy as a kid, back when he was still in America. I remember going to Epcot for a few years in a row and seeing the big Duffy shop that was in front of the World Showcase, and then one year I went and he was just. gone. Felt so weird but also makes me so happy to hear he's still popular in Japan. I kinda want to get another one, but I'm sure the charge to import it and ship it to America is hella expensive.
