D23 is bringing back the Mousequerade event, a time for people to cosplay and try to win prizes. Of note, The Walt Disney Company is continuing to use Nina West on a regular basis, bringing back West as a judge for the event. This follows on the company having used West for a Disney+ special. The other judges on the panel have credentials with Disney via participation in major shows… West is best known nationally for a Nickelodeon video that featured anatomically-altered animals, although West is considered by some to be an LGBTQ+ icon. Here are the details on the Mousequerade per Laughing Place:
- This year, the fabulous and fashionable Nina West will be hosting, with Yvette Nicole Brown (Big Shot, Disenchanted), Ashley Eckstein (voice of Ahsoka Tano and creator of Her Universe), and Ally Maki (Toy Story 4, Home Sweet Home Alone) judging the always impressive selection of contestants.
- The contest will feature new and returning categories including “Off the Screen,” “Imagine That!,” ”Magical Mashups,” and “Cast of Characters,” as well as a fan-favorite award voted on by the audience and a “Best in Show” prize of $2,300.
- Complete rules for entry and details are available on the D23 Expo website.
West was featured on Disney+ in 2021, so this is a continued partnership.
