Among the props inside is this drum for the Firefly Five plus Lou, a reference to the band from the movie, which is in turn a reference to the Firehouse Five Plus Two, a 1950s jazz band led by Disney animation legend Ward Kimball (of the “Nine Old Men”) and other animators at the studio.

This new costume takes inspiration from flapper fashion, but with a “Princess and the Frog” twist, thanks to the lilypad-esque trim and lily flower at the center of the neckline.
