Minnie Mouse is a very special character to me, very close and very spiritual. She is demure, mildly coquetteish, polite, cute, and incredibly feminine. I imagine transforming into her as a pleasant, smooth, pulsating rounding and swelling into toonish proportions. I like the idea of hands becoming her white cartoon gloves, but this is utterly optional. Boys or girls looking shocked, afraid, or unhappy is fine with me - that's what makes TF fun - but the transformation oughtn't to look violent or painful.

I find the image of Minnie's empty dress to be a very loaded image, as it implies that it is there to be filled soon enough. Shoes, too. Part of why I find her to be intriguing is that being an early Disney character, her design is actually essentially identical to Mickey's, with really only posture, clothing and lashes to set them apart. This means that the image will automatically be rather heavy with gender confusion - exploit this! "Minnie Mouse" is virtually synonymous with "girly".

A simple way to create a transformation is to choose as central image one specific poart of the body transforming and build your transformation, conceptually, around that. There are three areas I find very potent in a Minnie transformation: nose, ears and feet. I'm especially obsessed with that bulb nose and how a human nose would become that. I've found my own solution (see my art), but it's not the only one. Ears are obviously a given, they're as much a mark of her identity as the corporation that owns her. To Americans it's a loaded image; don't use it lightly. Finally, feet. Minnie's feet are big, round, black, and shiney, with four rather plump toes (see above). I find these utterly fascinating, swelling and shifting on their way to being appropriate for heels.

A few final notes: Go ahead and use Daisy in the picture, as a catalyst or another transformation if you like, if you're feeling especially bold. Daisy is a friend and sometimes rival of Minnie's, and another loaded image of femininty. As long as you share space evenly, because she can either enhance or detract from a Minnie tf. Second, Minnie is a girl, and she comes off best when you treat her as such . Look at the image above and you'll notice that Daisy has a visible bust. You can do the same on Minnie and get away with it if it's subtle enough. Finally, if you're having trouble, don't start with human anatomy and work towards Minnie's.. start with hers and  work backwards to get there.

Best of luck!
