The animated popcorn dolls, sometimes referred to as “Roastie-Toasties” have been calling Disneyland home since the park opened in 1955. The tradition of Disneyland’s animated popcorn dolls actually goes back to the unique style of popcorn carts used in the park, from C. Cretors & Co., a mid-19th century company that became known for the clown dolls that “worked” their popcorn carts.

Previously, Disney also shared a video to YouTube detailing the history behind the park’s “Popcorn People”:

In the video, we can get a glimpse into how each popcorn cart around Disneyland now has not a clown, but a doll that fits the theme of the area of the park where the cart is located in. You can also see a spacesuit on the doll for the cart located in Tomorrowland, as well as some seasonal looks like a Santa Claus outfit and Oogie Boogie from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), and more.
